Warpinator and Fossapup - has anyone managed to make them friends?

Croc from adjacent theme is good but no GUI. Linux Mint featured a tool called Warpinator which could share files across the local network. Has anyone tried running it?
I've tried running Warpinator in Fossapup. Built and installed from here. Installed Python dependencies via pip3 install(cryptography, nacl, netifaces, zeroconf, packaging). He doesn't like root and I ran it through the run-as-spot warpinator command. Does not work.

hi @Grey
comment out lines 24-27 of /usr/libexec/warpinator/warpinator.py
Code: Select all
Don't let warp run as root
#if os.getuid() == 0:
# print("Warpinator should not be run as root. Please run it in user mode.")
# sys.exit(1)
the tray icon appears then but didn't get any further

Hi 666philb. Yes, we can comment out, but the result is the same. When using run-as-spot, the icon also appears, but then nothing further.

gui fires up when installed using flatpak.
Code: Select all
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
Code: Select all
flatpak install flathub org.x.Warpinator
still need to comment out lines 24-27 of /var/lib/flatpak/app/org.x.Warpinator././././libexec/warpinator/warpinator.py to run as root.

Oh, I really don't want to mess with flatpak... But so be it, on the weekend I'll try it on a separate machine.
