✅ Test build succeeded. To test this build, install it from the testing repository:

flatpak install --user https://dl.flathub.org/build-repo/232277/org.virtualbox.VirtualBox.flatpakref

Built for x86_64 architecture.

tulilirockz · 2025-12-02T19:12:38Z

This seems to be okay now. I've been testing it for a while and its working as I personally expect.

Now its just a matter contacting upstream and seeing what they think about this. I do not want to get sued by Oracle ™️

Could we do this in an unofficial capacity? I think there is still a lot of value in having VirtualBox on flathub... Maybe I could add a big "This is unofficial!!!" warning thing??

fluoriteByte · 2026-01-07T22:31:31Z

i think it if we are going to do it in an unofficial capacity we might also want to rebrand it, cus i am still concerned by virtualbox's trademark terms lol

Hello guys, thanks a lot for working on Virtualbox. Just so that you know, we're adding it to https://flathub.org .
You don't have to do anything, but if you want, you can potentially take over the maintenance of the app https://docs.flathub.org/docs/for-app-authors/submission#someone-else-has-put-my-app-on-flathubwhat-do-i-do
