Feature Request - provide Flatpak packages

[schewara]

It would be great to also provide the Software as Flatpak and make it easily installable through flathub.org

Sure, working on it!

Any status on this? My team works on Pop_OS, and it would be awesome to download through the shop. Would be happy to test and submit proposal to flathub.

Really sad to see that this issues is still open 3 Years later.

I still would love to see a Flatpak Image release especially for users running Immutable Linux Distros like Fedora Silverblue or others.

For now (or maybe the next decade) I went with the Distrobox approach as a workaround to give it a spin on my non Debian based system.

Once installed you can spin up a Debian container, install Swell there and export it so you can run it directly from your App list.

Distrobox container setup commands (on the host):

distrobox create --pull --image quay.io/toolbx-images/debian-toolbox:12 --name debian-dbox
distrobox enter debian-dbox

Installation and exporting the app (inside of the Distrobox Container)

cd /tmp/
wget https://github.com/open-source-labs/Swell/releases/download/v<VERSION>/swell_<VERSION>_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install libasound2  # needs to be installed extra (dependencies seem to be broken)
sudo apt install ./swell_<VERSION>_amd64.deb
distrobox-export -a swell

But as the deb Package is also not found in any Repo known to me, keeping track of new releases and updating them manually is another downside of the current distribution solution.

@amuuth I haven't completely given up my hopes yet ;)
