fpakman

Graphical user interface for Flatpak application management. It is a tray icon to let the user known when new updates are available. It has also a management window allowing the user to see all installed applications and update them.

Developed with:

• Python3 and QT 5.

Requirements

• libappindicator3 (for GTK3 desktop environments)

Debian-based distros

• python3-venv

Arch-based distros

• python
• python-requests
• python-virtualenv
• python-pip
• python-pyqt5

Distribution

Currently available via PyPi (sudo pip3 install fpakman) or AUR (for Arch Linux users)

Manual installation:

If you prefer a manual and isolated installation, type the following commands within the cloned project folder:

python3 -m venv env
env/bin/pip install .
env/bin/fpakman

Autostart

In order to autostart the application, use your Desktop Environment settings to register it as startup script ("fpakman"). (P.S: the installation script currently does not do that)

Settings

You can change some application settings via environment variables:

• FPAKMAN_UPDATE_NOTIFICATION: enable or disable system updates notifications. Use 0 (disable) or 1 (enable, default).
• FPAKMAN_CHECK_INTERVAL: define the updates check interval in seconds. Default: 60.

Roadmap

• Show updates being applied
• Search and install applications
• Uninstall applications
