Originally created by @mpweya on GitHub (Jul 30, 2023).

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Using netbird on immutable systems is currently not possible (at least not in a practical way).

Describe the solution you'd like
Packaging Netbird as well as the UI as a flatpak (maybe in one?) would make it possible or at least much easier to use on immutable systems as well as any other system supported by flatpak.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Using the binaries could be an option but I couldn't get them to work when tested on a fully up-to-date Fedora 38 Silverblue machine because of a dependency issue.

Additional context
This was previously mentioned in #646 and has a similar goal as this issue.

I second this: a flatpak version is highly desirable. Maybe even Appimage?

Added the request to the flathub community: https://discourse.flathub.org/t/netbird-client-flatpak-request/7581
Never the less it will be challenging as Netbird uses Goreleaser and there is not support for Flatpak yet: https://github.com/goreleaser/goreleaser/issues/2927

That is why you can find a snap: https://snapcraft.io/netbird but not a flatpak.

Hi @nazarewk, Netbird is not yet available as a flatpak (ideally on flathub) so the issue is still relevant.

Should brew not be the solution here? Since brew is more CLI service focused, and flatpak more UI focused?

I am specifically talking about the ui functionality. Netbird offers tray icon support. This ui focused use case would be greatly supported by a flatpak.
