RHEA-2021:0575 - Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

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

Description

GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is an image composition and editing
program. GIMP provides a large image manipulation toolbox, including
channel operations and layers, effects, sub-pixel imaging and
anti-aliasing, and conversions, all with multi-level undo.

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 GIMP 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 GIMP Flatpak container image:

flatpak install rhel org.gimp.GIMP
