Discord Canary

Discord is a free all-in-one messaging, voice and video client that's available on your computer and phone.

This repo hosts the flatpak wrapper for Discord Canary, available at Flathub-Beta.

flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub-beta https://flathub.org/beta-repo/flathub-beta.flatpakrepo
flatpak install flathub com.discordapp.DiscordCanary
flatpak run com.discordapp.DiscordCanary

Limitations

• This flatpak version of Discord cannot scan running processes to detect running games.
• Default sandbox permissions for this package does not allow host filesystem access. You can attach files using "send file" menu, but "drag-n-drop" feature will not work.
  To work around this now, you can change sandbox permissions (for example, with Flatseal or with flatpak override --filesystem=home com.discordapp.DiscordCanary) to give Discord broader file system access, allowing drag-n-drop file attachments from more locations.
• Rich Presence socket is not exposed for other applications by default.
  Please consult Discord (Stable) wiki page if you want to expose Discord's rich presence interface for other applications.

Opt-in features

Wayland support

This package enables the flags to run on Wayland, however it is opt-in. To opt-in run:

flatpak override --user --socket=wayland com.discordapp.DiscordCanary

To opt-out do the same with --nosocket=wayland.

Startup flags customization

You can change DISCORD_FLAGS env variable to add any required flags:

flatpak override --user --env=DISCORD_FLAGS=--required-flag com.discordapp.DiscordCanary

To reset env changes do the same with --unset-env=DISCORD_FLAGS
