Flatpak build for Syncthing Tray.

NOTE:

Before submit an issue, please check whether it is a flatpak package issue or upstream Syncthing Tray issue.

Syncthing Tray's autostart is implemented by install a .desktop file in ~/.config/autostart. However, due to sandboxing by flatpak, this file is placed in ~/.var/app/io.github.martchus.syncthingtray/config/autostart. Also the generated .desktop is not suitable for flatpak, it actually cannot start the application.

The workaround is to create a symlink manually:

1. Create autostart folder if it does not exist:

mkdir -p $HOME/.config/autostart

2. If installed as per-user application (flatpak install --user):

ln -sf $HOME/.local/share/flatpak/app/io.github.martchus.syncthingtray/current/active/export/share/applications/io.github.martchus.syncthingtray.desktop $HOME/.config/autostart/

3. If installed as system-wide application (flatpak install):

ln -sf /var/lib/flatpak/app/io.github.martchus.syncthingtray/current/active/export/share/applications/io.github.martchus.syncthingtray.desktop $HOME/.config/autostart/

To stop from autostart, just remove the symlink:

rm $HOME/.config/autostart/io.github.martchus.syncthingtray.desktop

It is likely that you have previously installed syncthing or Syncthing Tray and leave the configuration file in place.

Try to rename (or remove) these files and run the application again:

mv ~/.config/syncthingtray.ini ~/.config/syncthingtray.ini.bak
mv ~/.local/state/syncthing ~/.local/state/syncthing.bak

The filesystem access is limited to /home. To modify it, use Flatseal, or with command:

flatpak override io.github.martchus.syncthingtray --filesystem=<PATH>

No you don't. This package already contains the syncthing program.

They are located in ~/.var/app/io.github.martchus.syncthingtray.
