+# Unofficial Publii Flatpak
+Unofficial, work in progress, rudimentary, experimental & probably unstable Flatpak build for Publii - in other words, use it if you know you can handle errors.
+
+
+
+## Prerequisites
+Before building, you need to install Flatpak, flatpak-builder, and ImageMagick:
+```bash
+sudo apt update
+sudo apt install flatpak flatpak-builder imagemagick
+```
+Add the Flathub repository if not already added:
+```bash
+flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
+```
+
+## Dynamic Version Handling
+The `build-flatpak.sh` script dynamically fetches the latest Publii AppImage from the official website. It does not automatically update the `io.publii.Publii.metainfo.xml` (yet).
+
+## Permissions
+The Flatpak has the following permissions:
+- Network access (for publishing sites)
+- Documents directory access (for storing sites and projects)
+- Desktop integration (notifications, file chooser)
+- Hardware acceleration (OpenGL/Vulkan, can't hurt because of Electron probably?)
+- Session bus access (for... things?)
+
+### Known Issues
+- `Failed to connect to the bus: Failed to connect to socket /run/dbus/system_bus_socket` - found in console, not sure if this is normal in sandboxed environments
+- `Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"` - *not researched yet*
