Flatpak and Remotes

A Flatpak remote is a local representation of an online Flatpak repository. It can be a statically defined ‘.flatpakrepo’ file, manually placed under ‘/etc/flatpak/repos.d/’, or a dynamically defined section of the active configuration file, which is the ‘/var/lib/flatpak/repo/config’ file.

The addition of a description of a Flatpak remote in the active configuration file is performed by the Flatpak tool, when the command flatpak remote-add is executed.
