Indeed! So far I have been always testing OSM Scout Server related functionality on my Sailfish OS device, but this way I can work on it directly on desktop as I do for basically everything else.

All in all, it works very well - I've tested map data download, tile rendering and place search and all seem to work fine! Actually, the Mapnik generated tiles seem to look better & have more details on desktop than when rednered on Sailfish OS. I guess this is due to some libraries being available that can't be used on Sailfish OS or possibly reduced resource constraints ?

BTW, I've noticed the socket activation toggle is still there in the flatpak version. IIRC you have mentioned socket activation is currently not possible with flatpak, so I guess the option should be hidden when running from flatpak ?

Thanks a lot for this! Having OSM Scout Server so easily available on desktop is really really nice & I think I'm certainly not the only one who will find it useful!
