RHBA-2021:2018 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

New LibreOffice Flatpak container image is now available in the Red Hat Container Registry.

Description

LibreOffice is an open source, community-developed office productivity suite. It includes key desktop applications, such as a word processor, a spreadsheet, a presentation manager, a formula editor, and a drawing program. LibreOffice replaces OpenOffice and provides a similar but enhanced and extended office suite.

Flatpak is a system for running graphical applications as containers. Installing an application as a Flatpak rather than as an individual package allows it to be installed and updated independently of the host operating system.

This update adds the Flatpak Container image of LibreOffice to the Red Hat Container Registry.

Solution

To install and use Red Hat Enterprise Linux Flatpak content available in the the Red Hat Container Catalog, make sure that you have the latest version of the Flatpak client installed on your system:

yum update flatpak

After updating the Flatpak packages, add the Flatpak remote to your system:

flatpak remote-add rhel https://flatpaks.redhat.io/rhel.flatpakrepo

Provide the credentials for your Red Hat Enterprise Linux account:

podman login registry.redhat.io

Podman only saves credentials until the user logs out. To save your credentials permanently, run:

cp $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/containers/auth.json $HOME/.config/flatpak/oci-auth.json

To enable the RHEL Flatpak remote for a set of workstations within an organization, you should use a Registry Service Account. Credentials can be installed system-wide at /etc/flatpak/oci-auth.json.

Then, you can install the LibreOffice Flatpak container image:

flatpak install rhel org.libreoffice.LibreOffice
