Flatpak apps on pendrive

I am reaching out to you for help with installing Flatpak applications on an external drive. I have already completed all the steps for a custom installation according to this guide, but when I try to install applications from the Flathub repository, I receive a series of errors that I do not know how to resolve. I believe these errors are related to the public key and file write permissions. I am attaching the errors below and I hope for any suggestions on what to do next.

Code: [Select]
$ flatpak --installation=extra install flathub org.cataclysmdda.CataclysmDDA

Code: [Select]

Is this link any help:

https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/753003/can-flatpaks-apps-installed-in-external-drive-and-used-on-different-linux-distr

I'm guessing that that is what you are attempting to do with your flatpaks?

No, I just want to install flakpak apps on different location because laptop which I use has only 16 GB eMMC drive. That's it.

Maybe I could use and overlayfs but how to do this? What about symbolic link? Simpler=better?

Not sure if this would help, but you could check the mount permissions - if you mount the drive somewhere:
Code: [Select]
$ lsblk
# mount /dev/sd?? mntpoint
$ ls -l | grep mntpoint
If the output says root root then change it:
Code: [Select]
# sudo chown $USER:$USER mntpoint
The file system on the drive has to be a Linux one that supports Linux permission attributes, ie EXT / BTRFS not FAT / NTFS etc.
I think that permission setting will persist wherever the drive is mounted afterwards as the file system on the drive remembers it. This may not be what you want to do if you have directories on that drive you wish to remain as root for security reasons, you could try to change just a sub dir on the drive then.
