Maintaining a HandBrake flatpak repository

Creating a new empty flatpak repository (Optional)

This would be done once to set up the repo users update their HandBrake flatpaks from. This repo gets served via http to users.

Initialize a new repository

ostree init --mode=archive-z2 --repo=<repo-dir>

Add the new repository to your flatpak remotes

flatpak --user remote-add --gpg-import=<pub-gpg-key> <repo-name> <repo-dir>

Install dependencies

Install flatpak and flatpak-builder

sudo dnf install flatpak flatpak-builder

Install flathub repository.

flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

Install flatpak gnome SDK.

flatpak install flathub org.gnome.Sdk//3.28

Install flatpak gnome runtime platform.

flatpak install flathub org.gnome.Platform//3.28

Create a new HandBrake flatpak bundle

This may be done on a different machine than the repo.

From the HandBrake source tree, update build versions by running configure

./configure --prefix=/app --flatpak

Build flatpaks for GUI and CLI.
Results will be in build/pkg/flatpak/

cd build
make pkg.create.flatpak

After the build completes, the flatpak packages for the GUI and CLI can be found in:

pkg/flatpak/*.flatpak

Install flatpak bundle

To use the flatpak bundle directly instead of importing it into a repository and then installing from the repository:

flatpak install <flatpak-bundle>

Importing flatpak bundles into the repository (Optional)

For each build, a GUI and CLI flatpak bundle is imported.

Import a bundle

flatpak build-import-bundle <repo-dir> <flatpak-bundle>

Update the flatpak repo index

flatpak build-update-repo --generate-static-deltas <repo-dir>

Regenerate and gpg-sign ostree summary

ostree summary --repo=<repo-dir> --gpg-sign=<key-id> -u

Check repo and application

List contents of the repo

flatpak --user remote-ls <repo-name>

Install the application (if you wish to test it)

flatpak --user install <repo-name> <app-name>
