Bazzite

Beta

Bazzite support is currently in beta. Some features may not work as expected.

Zaparoo Core on Bazzite supports launching Steam games and shell scripts. Release builds are available for both AMD64 and ARM64 architectures.

File Paths

Item	Path
Config file	~/.config/zaparoo/config.toml
Data directory	~/.local/share/zaparoo
Log file	/tmp/<session_id>-zaparoo/core.log
Mappings directory	~/.local/share/zaparoo/mappings

Where ~ is the home directory of the current user.

Install

Open a terminal and run:

curl -fsSL https://zaparoo.org/install.sh | bash

This installs all necessary components and sets up the service to run on startup. Since Bazzite has an immutable root filesystem, the installation is user-local (installed to ~/.local/bin).

To uninstall:

~/.local/bin/zaparoo -uninstall application
~/.local/bin/zaparoo -uninstall service
~/.local/bin/zaparoo -uninstall desktop
sudo ~/.local/bin/zaparoo -uninstall hardware

Readers

All readers are supported.

Launchers

Launcher	Systems	Notes
Steam	PC	Native and Flatpak Steam installations
Kodi	Media	Videos, movies, TV shows, music
Web Browser	N/A	Opens URLs in default browser
Shell Scripts	Any	Custom .sh file execution

Steam

Launches games from your Steam library. Both native (pre-installed) and Flatpak Steam installations are automatically detected. Games are launched using xdg-open, which works in both desktop and gaming modes.

Games are indexed from:

• ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/
• ~/.local/share/Steam/

To manually launch a Steam game, write steam://<app_id> to a token.

Kodi

Launch media content from a Kodi instance running on your network.

Supported content:

• Video and audio files
• Movies and TV episodes
• Music (songs, albums, artists)

config.toml

[[launchers.default]]
launcher = "Kodi"
server_url = "http://kodi:8080"

Replace kodi:8080 with your Kodi instance's address and web interface port.

Shell Scripts

Execute arbitrary shell scripts. Requires explicit allow list configuration for security.

config.toml

[launchers]
allow_file = [
    "^/home/.*/scripts/.*\\.sh$"
]
