How to declaratively list the flatpak applications to install?

Just want to be able to rebuild it all from one file, rather than having it split across akshara and whatever scripts or nix or whatever for the user

Yeah, exactly that, want to have the same stuff installed across different PC’s. Next step would also be adding containers and apps/packages in those containers automatically, but that should be a run once thing, maybe flatpak installs should be too, but as flatpak just does nothing when something is already installed, I guess it would be fine to have it in the system.yaml or a track. //offtopic but it isn’t really clear to me how tracks work, have read and reread the docs, I got questions like as simple as: (but will search discord first before asking). “where do I put these track files? " "Can I use multiple tracks? Because I want to split things up because one system has an Intel GPU, the other one AMD and the other one NVIDIA or for the user or team that is going to use the system and they don't need all the stuff and it saves me from editing the system.yaml every time” Additionally, for disaster recovery on different hardware, it would be nice to just get your system.yaml + tracks and reinstall the thing and after that, only restore (certain) configs and user data and get going again.

How to declaratively list the flatpak applications to install?

Unfortunately, that didn't work, also not with th -y install option: like this:

commands:
    - 'locale-gen'
    - 'su -c "flatpak install -y flathub com.brave.Browse" your_username_here'

commands:
    - 'locale-gen'
    - 'su -c "flatpak install -y flathub com.brave.Browse" your_username_here'

How to declaratively list the flatpak applications to install?

Tried this in /system.yaml:

commands:
    - 'locale-gen'
    - 'su -c `flatpak install flathub com.brave.Browse` $USER'

commands:
    - 'locale-gen'
    - 'su -c `flatpak install flathub com.brave.Browse` $USER'

But that didn't work. For now using flatpak list --columns=application --app > flatpaks.txt for creating a list of installed flatpaks and xargs flatpak install -y < flatpaks.txt and keeping a backup of my flatpaks.txt so I can reinstall them on a different system easily.

Issue with installing AUR packages Duplicati and Visual Studio Code: /opt empty

So... checked /opt/ and nothing there:

    user@blend ~> ls -lva /opt
    total 8.0K
    drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4.0K Jul  6 20:32 .
    drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 4.0K Sep 11 14:09 ..
    user@blend ~>

    user@blend ~> ls -lva /opt
    total 8.0K
    drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4.0K Jul  6 20:32 .
    drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 4.0K Sep 11 14:09 ..
    user@blend ~>

I can confirm these work just fine when installed in an Arch container. Partial output of the sudo akshara update part for Visual Studio Code: https://jumpshare.com/s/dPCxTGKvr9qF8LYSjC6d Partial output of the sudo akshara update part for Duplicati:
