Feature Request: 1Password on Flathub

Since the recent https://1password.community/discussion/comment/615214/#Comment_615214 would be, time to publish 1Password on https://flathub.org/home.

Flathub is the best known Flatpak package store, so it would be a good idea to public 1Password on it, and it is easier to find Flatpak apps directly from it, since users expect most Flatpak apps to be there.

Here is the guide on how to publish on Flathub: https://github.com/flathub/flathub/wiki/App-Submission


1Password Version: Not Provided
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: Not Provided

  • Hello folks, 

    Thank you for all of your requests and for continuing to share your feedback, we truly appreciate it. Although 1Password isn't currently available on Flathub, and I don't have any news to share about plans to publish there, you can install the Flatpak version of 1Password by following this guide:

    Get the 1Password for Linux app – Flatpak

    My colleagues and I will continue to make sure your interest in seeing 1Password published to Flathub is heard by our product team. If anything changes regarding the available installation options for 1Password on Linux, we’ll be sure to update this thread.

    -Dave

    Oh wow. That's a strange problem. I'll work on reproducing it on my side, now.

    Hi @Savanni ,

    The image isn't small. Please right click on it and select "Open in new tab". But I just found out the possible root cause of this issue. I changed my locale from Turkish to C by typing the following commands:

    export LANG=C
    export LC_ALL=C

    Then the updates went through just fine. (I've all flatpaks installed as user btw not as system) Then I went back to Turkish locale and retried and got that issue again even though the update went fine with C locale.

    I suppose flatpak downloads the corresponding Locale for user's locale; this explains why it redownloads (all) locale package(s) once you change your locale. But I don't understand why such a problem would occur for 1Password only. (I don't have this problem with other apps though 1Password is the only one I install outside flathub)

    Hi, tunix. This is odd, as the update worked for the beta version that I had. It could take a bit for me to reproduce this for a stable release.

    That image got posted quite small. Could you post a larger one, or an English translation of the error message that you see?

    Hi,

    I currently have the flatpak installed on my computer. I think either flatpak cannot handle updates properly or there is a problem with 1Password's releases for flatpak. When an update is released, the store (Pop Shop in my case) shows a notification about it. When I try to update the package, it starts to download but fails to update. This is the output of it when I try to update via CLI:

    Hi,

    Please add 1Password to flathub or provide a repo reference so that people can subscribe to it. In another thread, @Savanni wrote that she planned to update docs for flatpak but I still can't see anything related to it.

    Flatpak and snaps are kind of the future of package installation on Linux. I think a portal or something like that will soon be available as well. I hope you'd consider it. Thanks!

    I would very much like to see this too. It would make the installing experience that much smoother since this is currently about the only app I need to install outside of Flathub. Flathub would provide auto-updates too.

    We're considering it. We have some due diligence to do internally before I can commit to this feature, and I just haven't had time to act on it.

    Hi CharDSon, thank you for this suggestion! I'll make sure to bring it up with our developers. We appreciate you letting us know what you'd like to see from the 1Password for Linux app! 😀
