Is it possible to create a flatpack for qbittorrent-nox? #70

Is it possible and meaningful to create a flatpack for qbittorrent-nox (the headless version of qbittorrent) as well? Some people might use it on their desktop, but a lot of people would love to use it on their headless Linux installations and connect remotely to the web-ui: https://raspi-tutoriais.blogspot.com/2020/12/how-to-install-qbittorrent-on-ubuntu.html

Flatpacks can be used on headless Linux installations, can't they?

I've created a branch for qbittorrent-nox. The following post includes a temporary url for testing: https://github.com/flathub/org.qbittorrent.qBittorrent/pull/110#issuecomment-1443681390 The app works fine for me but flathub doesn't list it and seems require it to be another independent application (instead of it being another variation of org.qbittorrent.qBittorrent). So if anyone want to submit it to flathub feel free to do so and I can help manage it after it registered. I'm just not interested in applying it.

BTW, qbt-nox also has an official docker version which should fit headless installations, check it out here: https://hub.docker.com/r/qbittorrentofficial/qbittorrent-nox

Flatpak is not designed for CLI applications, and Flathub does not accept other then GUI application.

snapd or Docker is the solutions.

Flathub does accept non-GUI applications but they may not fit well for the format. In order to list them in the store you need to prepare metadata, icons, and screenshots.
