Retrom

A centralized game library/collection management service with a focus on emulation
About
Desktop client for Retrom. Note that any dedicated Retrom server must be setup independently.
Retrom is a centralized game library management service that allows you to host your games on a single device, and connect clients on any amount of other devices to (un)install/download and play them when and where you want to! Think of it as a sort of self-hosted Steam for your DRM-free game library.
Permissions
3 permissions weaken the sandbox. Flatsonar asks before installing.
- all devices (/dev): webcams, disks, raw hardware
--device=all - sandbox escape: can run commands on the host via flatpak-spawn
--talk-name=org.freedesktop.Flatpak - access to operating-system files
--filesystem=host-os - inter-process communication (needed for X11)
--share=ipc - network
--share=network - X11 display, only when Wayland is unavailable
--socket=fallback-x11 - audio
--socket=pulseaudio - Wayland display
--socket=wayland
