Installing a Web App via GNOME Web

If the web-app is called “Example” and it launches https://www.example.com. You will create a .desktop file as follows:

  [Desktop Entry]
  Version=1.0
  Type=Application
  Exec=epiphany --application-mode=example.desktop https://www.example.com
  Icon=example
  StartupNotify=true
  StartupWMClass=example
  Terminal=false
  Name=Example application
  Comment=A system-wide web application``

Note that the exec line includes a reference to the web app URL and to the .desktop file itself. Store the desktop file and matching icons in the usual locations, for example:

  /usr/share/applications/example.desktop
  /usr/share/icons/hicolor/128x128/apps/example.png 
  ~/.local/share/applications/example.desktop
  ~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/128x128/apps/example.png

You can also reference local HTML files as follows: 1)

  [Desktop Entry]
  Name=Fedora Developer Portal
  Comment=The developer workstation you've been waiting for.
  GenericName=Documentation
  Exec=epiphany --application-mode=fedora-developer-portal.desktop /usr/share/fedora-developer-portal/index.html
  Icon=fedora-developer-portal
  StartupWMClass=fedora-developer-portal
  Type=Application
  StartupNotify=true
  MimeType=text/plain;
