| Free tier | No published storage quota for published applications. This is a deduplicating OSTree/OCI repo: apps are stored as content-addressed ostree commits, so identical files across apps are stored once. Review is human: submissions arrive as a pull request to github.com/flathub/flathub and 'will be reviewed' - there is no self-service arbitrary-blob publish. unit mixed; metered on stored-bytes |
|---|---|
| Price | none stated |
| Limits |
per-object-cap: none published; the practical constraint is the build (GitHub-hosted runners with limited CPU/memory/time). retention: indefinite for published apps (OSTree history is retained; flatpak repair/prune is user-side). request-rate: dl.flathub.org supports ranges (verified 206). Builds that exceed CI limits 'fail to build'. Human review gates publication. |
| Identity | email (placeholder) not published |
| Egress | Free, CDN-backed static repo at dl.flathub.org. No billing. |
| Per-object cap | not stated |
| Retention | per-object-cap: none published; the practical constraint is the build (GitHub-hosted runners with limited CPU/memory/time). retention: indefinite for published apps (OSTree history is retained; flatpak repair/prune is user-side) |
| Interface | rest, oci, rclone rest |
| Tooling | flatpak (client), flatpak-builder + org.flatpak.Builder, ostree tooling, and the repo is readable as a plain static OSTree (summary / summary.idx / objects). No rclone backend and no OCI registry (registry.flathub.org does not resolve publicly - DNS NXDOMAIN from this vantage). |
| Composes with | one repo, unlimited apps x unlimited architectures (x86_64, aarch64) x unlimited builds. Per-app dedup means 20 TiB of distinct content is not achievable here; dedup only helps legitimately-overlapping app payloads. Multiplication is by flatpak app, not by account, and every app is human-reviewed. |
| Reliability | Read path is excellent and range-capable. Write path is not programmatic: a pull request + human review + a CI build. Content must be a valid Flatpak app manifest that builds from source, so arbitrary blobs cannot be published without wrapping them in an app (and reviewers will see them). dl.flathub.org works; registry.flathub.org does not resolve. |
