Installing Flatpak Itself

From: https://flatpak.org/setup/Alpine/

Note: To install Flatpak you will need to enable the Community repository, See: Repositories - Managing repositories

To install Flatpak run:

# apk add flatpak

Next you need to add a repository, for this guide we will use the recommended repository, Flathub.

$ flatpak remote-add --user --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

Now reboot to complete setup

Note: graphical installation of Flatpak apps may not be possible with Alpine.

After lots of internet searches and abortive attempts to resolve this, I discovered the problem. Basically, I did not actually have flatpak’s public GPG key. Fortunately the solution is trivially easy.

First you need to download flatpak’s public key file…

wget https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.gpg

This returns something that looks similar to this…

--2022-02-01 17:16:26-- https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.gpg

2022-02-01 17:16:26 (457 MB/s) - ‘flathub.gpg’ saved [2844/2844]

Copy and rename the key to correct location(s). If you intend to use flatpak’s “beta” repository then you need to copy a keyfile for that too.

cp flathub.gpg ~/.local/share/flatpak/repo/flathub.trustedkeys.gpg
cp flathub.gpg ~/.local/share/flatpak/repo/flathub-beta.trustedkeys.gpg

Make sure the keyfiles are actually where they should be…

ls -la ~/.local/share/flatpak/repo/*.trustedkeys.gpg

Should return something similar to this…

-rw-rw-r-- 1 garf garf 2844 Feb 1 17:41 
/home/garf/.local/share/flatpak/repo/flathub-beta.trustedkeys.gpg
-rw-rw-r-- 1 garf garf 2844 Feb 1 17:37 
/home/garf/.local/share/flatpak/repo/flathub.trustedkeys.gpg

That’s it! No more Flatpak public key error. You should now be able to install Flatpak applications to your home directory as intended. ????
