FLATPAK REMOTE-ADD(1) flatpak remote-add FLATPAK REMOTE-ADD(1)
flatpak-remote-add - Add a remote repository
flatpak remote-add [OPTION...] NAME LOCATION
Adds a remote repository to the flatpak repository configuration.
NAME is the name for the new remote, and LOCATION is a url or
pathname. The LOCATION is either a flatpak repository, or a
.flatpakrepo file which describes a repository. In the former case
you may also have to specify extra options, such as the gpg key
for the repo.
Unless overridden with the --user or --installation options, this
command changes the default system-wide installation.
The following options are understood:
-h, --help
Show help options and exit.
--from
Assume the URI is a .flatpakrepo file rather than the
repository itself. This is enabled by default if the extension
is .flatpakrepo, so generally you don't need this option.
-u, --user
Modify the per-user configuration.
--system
Modify the default system-wide configuration.
--installation=NAME
Modify a system-wide installation specified by NAME among
those defined in /etc/flatpak/installations.d/. Using
--installation=default is equivalent to using --system.
--no-gpg-verify
Disable GPG verification for the added remote.
--prio=PRIO
Set the priority for the remote. Default is 1, higher is more
prioritized. This is mainly used for graphical installation
tools. It is also used when searching for a remote to provide
an app's runtime. The app's origin is checked before other
remotes with the same priority.
--subset=SUBSET
Limit the refs available from the remote to those that are
part of the named subset.
--no-enumerate
Mark the remote as not enumerated. This means the remote will
not be used to list applications, for instance in graphical
installation tools.
--no-use-for-deps
Mark the remote as not to be used for automatic runtime
dependency resolution.
--if-not-exists
Do nothing if the provided remote already exists.
--disable
Disable the added remote.
--title=TITLE
A title for the remote, e.g. for display in a UI.
--comment=COMMENT
A single-line comment for the remote, e.g. for display in a
UI.
--description=DESCRIPTION
A full-paragraph description for the remote, e.g. for display
in a UI.
--homepage=URL
URL for a website for the remote, e.g. for display in a UI.
--icon=URL
URL for an icon for the remote, e.g. for display in a UI.
--default-branch=BRANCH
A default branch for the remote, mainly for use in a UI.
--filter=PATH
Add a local filter to the remote. A filter file is a list of
lines, each file starting with "allow" or "deny", and then a
glob for the ref to allow or disallow. The globs specify a
partial ref (i.e. you can leave out trailing parts which will
then match everything), but otherwise only "*" is special,
matching anything in that part of the ref.
By default all refs are allowed, but if a ref matches a deny
rule it is disallowed unless it specifically matches an allow
rule. This means you can use this to implement both
allowlisting and blocklisting.
Here is an example filter file:
# This is an allowlist style filter as it denies all first
deny *
allow runtime/org.freedesktop.*
allow org.some.app/arm
allow org.signal.Signal/*/stable
allow org.signal.Signal.*/*/stable
--gpg-import=FILE
Import gpg keys from the specified keyring file as trusted for
the new remote. If the file is - the keyring is read from
standard input.
--authenticator-name=NAME
Specify the authenticator to use for the remote.
--authenticator-option=KEY=VALUE
Specify an authenticator option for the remote.
--authenticator-install
Enable auto-installation of authenticator.
--no-authenticator-install
Disable auto-installation of authenticator.
--no-follow-redirect
Do not follow xa.redirect-url defined in the summary file.
-v, --verbose
Print debug information during command processing.
--ostree-verbose
Print OSTree debug information during command processing.
