Research direction
The work spans the release workflow (for an AppImage build), a new Flatpak manifest submitted through Flathub, and a Snap package that likely needs classic confinement. Start by reading the existing release workflow under .github/workflows and the sys1 node build output, then check how the service is installed. Done means each packaging format builds in CI and the Docker-on-host limitation is documented, but the issue leaves the Snap confinement choice open and needs maintainer input first.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Linux formats that work across distributions.
- AppImage built in the release workflow
- Flatpak manifest; submit to Flathub through their process
- Snap (
classicconfinement is likely needed to install a system service; check with the Snap Store team)
Note: a sandboxed Flatpak/Snap cannot easily manage Docker on the host. Document what works.
