Perfect! Thank you!

@Tio, this should be done now.

Can you please use a relative path for the icon for the .desktop file? Not Icon=/opt/focalboard-bin/pack/static/favicon.svg but something like Icon=focalboard.svg. Else we cannot create custom icons for it. Thanks!

Mmm, anyone know how to get around this when trying to start focalboard:

ERROR INITIALIZING THE SERVER STORE driver: sqlite, message: failed when applying migration, command: apply_migration, originalError: duplicate column name: root_id, query:

ALTER TABLE blocks ADD COLUMN root_id varchar(36) ;

I haven't really found anything helpful, or appeared to be at least. I did try to remove it and do a clean install but no luck there

@enbQao unfortunately no but I would be happy to include any patch. Regarding the location of data, thanks for pointing to the right doc. However, I am worried this'll break people's installation if they previously had the data stored in ~/.local/. Someone would need to think this through to make sure the transition is smooth.

There is a bug with 7.7.0 which makes it impossible to start the application when it was upgraded from 7.5.2, see https://github.com/mattermost/focalboard/issues/4461.

Have you discovered any workaround to be able to run it anyway?

Thank you for providing this PKGBUILD! One quick note though, user data for applications, according to the XDG Base Directory Specification (see https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html), should be put under ~/.local/share, not ~/.local. The first line in the launcher script should therefore be datadir=$HOME/.local/share/focalboard-bin/ or datadir=$XDG_DATA_HOME/focalboard-bin/ respectively. When relying on $XDG_DATA_HOME though, you would first need to make sure that it is actually set (which it probably is for most users nowadays, but most likely not for everyone).

@mgoldchild this should now be fixed. Please let me know if not.

I got following error below that:

$ focalboard-bin

Thanks for the feedback. I have updated the package. Note however that there is still an action to be done by the user to give itself write permission to the /opt/focalboard-bin folder where the focalboard database will be stored.

I haven't found a way of forcing focalboard to load another database without hardcoding the path to it in the system-wide config.json file (which you can find in /opt/focalboard-bin).
