you need to mount a partition at /var/lib/flatpak if you want to to install flatpak applications on separate partition

The same question applies to usb memory

Maybe but not advisable. Flatpak consumes a lot of disk space

Firefox, Telegram and Viber took up nearly 10 gb of space.
How can I link the path /var/lib/flatpak ?

just use this command:

Code: Select all

mount -o rw <storage device> /var/lib/flatpak

For example if your partition was /dev/sda2 then

Code: Select all

mount -o rw /dev/sda2 /var/lib/flatpak

Make sure that the partition to be mounted was a linux partition. Also dont forget to add that mountpoint to /etc/fstab

Hi,

I did the following operations:

sudo apt update

mount -o rw /dev/sda3 /var/lib/flatpak
then created folder named repo in sda3

flatpak install flathub org.mozilla.firefox

Then it gave this error

Looking for matches…
error: No remote refs found for ‘flathub’

Did you add flathub repo using flatpak command?

Code: Select all

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

Just type this command if you want to install firefox on flatpak

Code: Select all

flatpak install firefox

Forgot to add flathub repo

Respectively made:

Code: Select all

sudo apt update

Code: Select all

mount -o rw /dev/sda3 /var/lib/flatpak

Then created folder named ''repo'' in sda3

Code: Select all

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

Code: Select all

flatpak install flathub org.mozilla.firefox

@sucuklu yumurta

Dont forget to add this code on /etc/rc.d/rc.local

Code: Select all

mount -o rw /dev/sda3 /var/lib/flatpak 2>/dev/null

To make sure that the partition for flatpak was always mounted on every reboot.

@sucuklu yumurta. If you want and your computer can handle an operating system which occupies 20-to-40 Gbs of Storage space and requires 8+ Gbs of RAM to perform your desired tasks, install debian bookworm, itself. You have no need to run Puppy nor incur the complexity involved in trying to convert Puppy into debian bookworm.

Or ask wiak or rockedge to provide a modified version of weedogit which (I think) now uses its original name "firstrib". See, viewtopic.php?p=50074&sid=257cde849a86c ... 18c#p50074. Whatever its name, it was able to create a portable version of many Major Distros, identical to such distros in every respect except for being portable: that is, it could be (like puppys) located in a folder on any Linux partition sharing that partition with other operating systems. In creating a portable version of a major distro, weedogit does a better and more user-friendly job than woof.
