Flatpak maintains a list of patterns that define which refs are pinned. A pinned ref will never be automatically uninstalled (as are unused runtimes periodically). This can be useful if for example you are using a runtime for development purposes.
Runtimes that are explicitly installed, rather than installed as a dependency of something else, are automatically pinned.
The patterns are just a partial ref, with the * character matching anything within that part of the ref. Only runtimes can be pinned, not apps. Here are some example patterns:
-
org.some.Runtime
org.some.Runtime//unstable
runtime/org.domain.*
org.some.Runtime/arm
To list the current set of pins, run this command without any patterns.
OPTIONS
The following options are understood:
-h, --help
-
Show help options and exit.
--remove
-
Instead of adding the patterns, remove matching patterns.
-u, --user
-
Pin refs in a per-user installation.
--system
-
Pin refs in the default system-wide installation.
--installation=NAME
-
Pin refs in a system-wide installation specified by
NAME
among those defined in
/etc/flatpak/installations.d/. Using
--installation=default
is equivalent to using
--system.
-v, --verbose
-
Print debug information during command processing.
EXAMPLES
$ flatpak pin
$ flatpak pin org.freedesktop.Platform//19.08
$ flatpak pin --remove org.freedesktop.Platform//19.08
