FLATPAK REMOTE(5)

NAME
flatpak-remote - Configuration for a remote

DESCRIPTION

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 config fragments into /etc/flatpak/remotes.d/.
