Eddie Flatpak on Flathub

[Zorro92 1]

For security reasons, I want to run Eddie in the sandbox. The easiest way is to create an Eddie Flatpak file and distribute it through the Flathub store. Could you add Eddie Flatpak to the Flathub store?

Agreed, this would be awesome.

I'm not sure if VPNs even work on flatpak. Every application is supposed to be sandboxed.

I would love to see a Flatpak, in addition to other file formats, can anyone from AirVPN say what they currently think about this idea?

Thanks,

Hi, AirVPN devs.

Has this been considered?

Thanks,

Chris.

First of all, VPNs inside Flatpak are not possible because you cannot change system settings in a sandbox – were it possible, what'd be the point of a sandbox?
That said, what seems to be possible is to ship a user interface in a Flatpak which talks to some user-facing daemon like NetworkManager or maybe even DBus. The latter is how the AirVPN Suite works. So you'd ship Goldcrest in the Flatpak and let it talk to a Bluetit running on the system – or something.

In any case, personally I don't see a Flatpak having any priority right now, with all the other announced or hinted at things in the works.

Thank you for explaining, that makes sense.
