FLATPAK BUILD-FINIS(1) flatpak build-finish FLATPAK BUILD-FINIS(1)
flatpak-build-finish - Finalize a build directory
flatpak build-finish [OPTION...] DIRECTORY
Finalizes a build directory, to prepare it for exporting.
DIRECTORY is the name of the directory.
The result of this command is that desktop files, icons, D-Bus
service files, and AppStream metainfo files from the files
subdirectory are copied to a new export subdirectory. In the
metadata file, the command key is set in the [Application] group,
and the supported keys in the [Environment] group are set
according to the options.
As part of finalization you can also specify permissions that the
app needs, using the various options specified below.
Additionally during finalization the permissions from the runtime
are inherited into the app unless you specify
--no-inherit-permissions
You should review the exported files and the application metadata
before creating and distributing an application bundle.
It is an error to run build-finish on a directory that has not
been initialized as a build directory, or has already been
finalized.
The following options are understood:
-h, --help
Show help options and exit.
--command=COMMAND
The command to use. If this option is not specified, the
first executable found in files/bin is used.
Note that the command is used when the application is run via
flatpak run, and does not affect what gets executed when the
application is run in other ways, e.g. via the desktop file
or D-Bus activation.
--require-version=MAJOR.MINOR.MICRO
Require this version or later of flatpak to install/update to
this build.
--share=SUBSYSTEM
Share a subsystem with the host session. This updates the
[Context] group in the metadata. SUBSYSTEM must be one of:
network, ipc. This option can be used multiple times.
--unshare=SUBSYSTEM
Don't share a subsystem with the host session. This updates
the [Context] group in the metadata. SUBSYSTEM must be one
of: network, ipc. This option can be used multiple times.
--socket=SOCKET
Expose a well-known socket to the application. This updates
the [Context] group in the metadata. SOCKET must be one of:
x11, wayland, fallback-x11, pulseaudio, system-bus,
session-bus, ssh-auth, pcsc, cups, gpg-agent,
inherit-wayland-socket. This option can be used multiple
times.
The fallback-x11 option makes the X11 socket available only
if there is no Wayland socket. This option was introduced in
0.11.3. To support older Flatpak releases, specify both x11
and fallback-x11. The fallback-x11 option takes precedence
when both are supported.
--nosocket=SOCKET
Don't expose a well known socket to the application. This
updates the [Context] group in the metadata. SOCKET must be
one of: x11, wayland, fallback-x11, pulseaudio, system-bus,
session-bus, ssh-auth, pcsc, cups, gpg-agent,
inherit-wayland-socket. This option can be used multiple
times.
--device=DEVICE
Expose a device to the application. This updates the
[Context] group in the metadata. DEVICE must be one of: dri,
input, kvm, shm, all. This option can be used multiple times.
--nodevice=DEVICE
Don't expose a device to the application. This updates the
[Context] group in the metadata. DEVICE must be one of: dri,
input, kvm, shm, all. This option can be used multiple times.
--allow=FEATURE
Allow access to a specific feature. This updates the
[Context] group in the metadata. FEATURE must be one of:
devel, multiarch, bluetooth, canbus, per-app-dev-shm. This
option can be used multiple times.
The devel feature allows the application to access certain
syscalls such as ptrace(), and perf_event_open().
The multiarch feature allows the application to execute
programs compiled for an ABI other than the one supported
natively by the system. For example, for the x86_64
architecture, 32-bit x86 binaries will be allowed as well.
The bluetooth feature allows the application to use bluetooth
(AF_BLUETOOTH) sockets. Note, for bluetooth to fully work you
must also have network access.
The canbus feature allows the application to use canbus
(AF_CAN) sockets. Note, for this work you must also have
network access.
The per-app-dev-shm feature shares a single instance of
/dev/shm between the application, any unrestricted
subsandboxes that it creates, and any other instances of the
application that are launched while it is running.
--disallow=FEATURE
Disallow access to a specific feature. This updates the
[Context] group in the metadata. FEATURE must be one of:
devel, multiarch, bluetooth, canbus, per-app-dev-shm. This
option can be used multiple times.
--filesystem=FS
Allow the application access to a subset of the filesystem.
This updates the [Context] group in the metadata. FS can be
one of: home, host, host-os, host-etc, xdg-desktop,
xdg-documents, xdg-download, xdg-music, xdg-pictures,
xdg-public-share, xdg-templates, xdg-videos, xdg-run,
xdg-config, xdg-cache, xdg-data, an absolute path, or a
homedir-relative path like ~/dir or paths relative to the xdg
dirs, like xdg-download/subdir. The optional :ro suffix
indicates that the location will be read-only. The optional
:create suffix indicates that the location will be read-write
and created if it doesn't exist. This option can be used
multiple times. See the "[Context] filesystems" list in
flatpak-metadata(5) for details of the meanings of these
filesystems.
--nofilesystem=FILESYSTEM
Remove access to the specified subset of the filesystem from
the application. This overrides to the Context section from
the application metadata. FILESYSTEM can be one of: home,
host, host-os, host-etc, xdg-desktop, xdg-documents,
xdg-download, xdg-music, xdg-pictures, xdg-public-share,
xdg-templates, xdg-videos, an absolute path, or a
homedir-relative path like ~/dir. This option can be used
multiple times.
--add-policy=SUBSYSTEM.KEY=VALUE
Add generic policy option. For example,
"--add-policy=subsystem.key=v1 --add-policy=subsystem.key=v2"
would map to this metadata:
[Policy subsystem]
key=v1;v2;
This option can be used multiple times.
--remove-policy=SUBSYSTEM.KEY=VALUE
Remove generic policy option. This option can be used
multiple times.
--env=VAR=VALUE
Set an environment variable in the application. This updates
the [Environment] group in the metadata. This overrides to
the Context section from the application metadata. This
option can be used multiple times.
--unset-env=VAR
Unset an environment variable in the application. This
updates the unset-environment entry in the [Context] group of
the metadata. This option can be used multiple times.
--env-fd=FD
Read environment variables from the file descriptor FD, and
set them as if via --env. This can be used to avoid
environment variables and their values becoming visible to
other users.
Each environment variable is in the form VAR=VALUE followed
by a zero byte. This is the same format used by env -0 and
/proc/*/environ.
--own-name=NAME
Allow the application to own the well known name NAME on the
session bus. If NAME ends with .*, it allows the application
to own all matching names. This updates the [Session Bus
Policy] group in the metadata. This option can be used
multiple times.
--talk-name=NAME
Allow the application to talk to the well known name NAME on
the session bus. If NAME ends with .*, it allows the
application to talk to all matching names. This updates the
[Session Bus Policy] group in the metadata. This option can
be used multiple times.
--system-own-name=NAME
Allow the application to own the well known name NAME on the
system bus. If NAME ends with .*, it allows the application
to own all matching names. This updates the [System Bus
Policy] group in the metadata. This option can be used
multiple times.
--system-talk-name=NAME
Allow the application to talk to the well known name NAME on
the system bus. If NAME ends with .*, it allows the
application to talk to all matching names. This updates the
[System Bus Policy] group in the metadata. This option can be
used multiple times.
--persist=FILENAME
If the application doesn't have access to the real homedir,
make the (homedir-relative) path FILENAME a bind mount to the
corresponding path in the per-application directory, allowing
that location to be used for persistent data. This updates
the [Context] group in the metadata. This option can be used
multiple times.
--runtime=RUNTIME, --sdk=SDK
Change the runtime or sdk used by the app to the specified
partial ref. Unspecified parts of the ref are taken from the
old values or defaults.
--metadata=GROUP=KEY[=VALUE]
Set a generic key in the metadata file. If value is left out
it will be set to "true".
--extension=NAME=VARIABLE[=VALUE]
Add extension point info. See the documentation for
flatpak-metadata(5) for the possible values of VARIABLE and
VALUE.
--remove-extension=NAME
Remove extension point info.
--extension-priority=VALUE
Set the priority (library override order) of the extension
point. Only useful for extensions. 0 is the default, and
higher value means higher priority.
--extra-data=NAME:SHA256:DOWNLOAD-SIZE:INSTALL-SIZE:URL
Adds information about extra data uris to the app. These will
be downloaded and verified by the client when the app is
installed and placed in the /app/extra directory. You can
also supply an /app/bin/apply_extra script that will be run
after the files are downloaded.
--no-exports
Don't look for exports in the build.
--no-inherit-permissions
Don't inherit runtime permissions in the app.
-v, --verbose
Print debug information during command processing.
--ostree-verbose
Print OSTree debug information during command processing.
