✨ (flatpak-sync) Add add/install command 
The add/install command takes a application id as a second parameter
and appends it to the apps list. Afterwards the sync method is called.

flatpak-sync

flatpak-sync.sh is a rudimentary Bash(!) script for keeping the installed flatpak apps (only apps, not runtimes) in sync with what is declared in a simple file.

Usage

  1. Download the flatpak-sync.sh script and make it executable (chmod +x flatpak-sync.sh)
  2. Create an app list file at ~/.config/flatpak-sync/apps.list following the format in the next section.
  3. Run the script with ./flatpak-sync.sh (given it is in your current working directory)

App List Format

The apps.list is a list of application IDs (e.g. org.kde.kdenlive), each on their own line. Empty lines and lines starting with a hash sign (#) are ignored.

You may have a look at the example.list for a quick overview of what is achievable.

Advanced usage

It is possible to use a different app list file by setting the APP_LIST_PATH environment variable, e.g. if your app list it at ~/dotfiles/flatpaks.list then you might call the script with APPS_LIST_PATH=$HOME/dotfiles/flatpaks.list ./flatpak-sync.sh (again assuming the script is in the current working directory).

Next possible steps

  • Add a script for automatically syncing the file with a Git repository and executing it after a sync
  • Add a SystemD service/timer for the automatic syncing script
