FLATPAK REMOTE(5) flatpak remote FLATPAK REMOTE(5)
flatpak-remote - Configuration for a remote
Flatpak stores information about configured remotes for an
installation location in $installation/repo/config. For example,
the remotes for the default system-wide installation are in
$prefix/var/lib/flatpak/repo/config, and the remotes for the
per-user installation are in
$HOME/.local/share/flatpak/repo/config.
Normally, it is not necessary to edit remote config files
directly, the flatpak remote-modify command should be used to
change properties of remotes.
System-wide remotes can be statically preconfigured by dropping
flatpakrepo(5) files into /usr/share/flatpak/remotes.d/ and
/etc/flatpak/remotes.d/. Ifa file with the same name exists in
both, the file under /etc will take precedence.
The remote config file format is using the same .ini file format
that is used for systemd unit files or application .desktop files.
[remote ...]
All the configuration for the the remote with name NAME is
contained in the [remote "NAME"] group.
The following keys are recognized by OSTree, among others:
url (string)
The url for the remote. An URL of the form oci+https:// or
oci+http:// is a Flatpak extension that indicates that the
remote is not an ostree repository, but is rather an URL to an
index of OCI images that are stored within a container image
registry.
For OCI remotes, client and CA certificates are read from
/etc/containers/certs.d and ~/.config/containers/certs.d as
documented in containers-certs.d(5).
gpg-verify (boolean)
Whether to use GPG verification for content from this remote.
gpg-verify-summary (boolean)
Whether to use GPG verification for the summary of this
remote.
This is ignored if collection-id is set, as refs are verified
in commit metadata in that case. Enabling gpg-verify-summary
would break peer to peer distribution of refs.
collection-id (string)
The globally unique identifier for the upstream collection
repository, to allow mirrors to be grouped.
All flatpak-specific keys have a xa. prefix:
xa.disable (boolean)
Whether the remote is disabled. Defaults to false.
xa.prio (integer)
The priority for the remote. This is used when listing
remotes, and when searching them for the runtime needed by an
app. The remote providing the app is searched for its runtime
before others with equal priority. Defaults to 1.
xa.noenumerate (boolean)
Whether this remote should be ignored when presenting
available apps/runtimes, or when searching for a runtime
dependency. Defaults to false.
xa.nodeps (boolean)
Whether this remote should be excluded when searching for
dependencies. Defaults to false.
xa.title (string)
An optional title to use when presenting this remote in a UI.
xa.title-is-set (boolean)
This key is set to true if xa.title has been explicitly set.
xa.comment (string)
An optional single-line comment to use when presenting this
remote in a UI.
xa.comment-is-set (boolean)
This key is set to true if xa.comment has been explicitly set.
xa.description (string)
An optional full-paragraph of text to use when presenting this
remote in a UI.
xa.description-is-set (boolean)
This key is set to true if xa.description has been explicitly
set.
xa.homepage (string)
An optional URL that points to a website for this repository
to use when presenting this remote in a UI.
xa.homepage-is-set (boolean)
This key is set to true if xa.homepage has been explicitly
set.
xa.icon (string)
An optional URL that points to an icon for this repository to
use when presenting this remote in a UI.
xa.icon-is-set (boolean)
This key is set to true if xa.icon has been explicitly set.
xa.default-branch (string)
The default branch to use when installing from this remote.
xa.default-branch-is-set (boolean)
This key is set to true if xa.default-branch has been
explicitly set.
xa.main-ref (string)
The main reference served by this remote. This is used for
origin remotes of applications installed via a flatpakref
file.

gpg-verify-summary=true
