Local Flatpak Testing

This directory contains a manifest adapted for local testing of the Flatpak build.

Prerequisites

1. Flatpak & flatpak-builder: Ensure you have them installed on your system.
2. Runtimes: Install the necessary runtimes and SDKs:

   flatpak install flathub org.freedesktop.Platform//25.08 org.freedesktop.Sdk//25.08 org.electronjs.Electron2.BaseApp//25.08

3. Local Dependencies: Since this manifest uses type: dir for the source, it will include your local node_modules. Make sure you have run bun install in the project root.

Building

To build the Flatpak locally:

flatpak-builder --user --install --force-clean build-dir flatpak/jp.nonbili.noutube.yml

Running

Once installed, you can run it via:

flatpak run jp.nonbili.noutube-dev

Manifest Changes for Local Testing

• App ID changed to jp.nonbili.noutube-dev to avoid conflicts with stable installation.
• Changed source type to dir pointing to the project root.
• Added --filesystem=xdg-download to finish-args to allow the app to save videos to the standard Downloads folder.
• Added --talk-name=org.freedesktop.FileManager1 to finish-args to enable Electron's "show item in folder" functionality on the host.
• Removed external source.tar.gz and node_modules archives to use local files instead.
