Tell us the problem or your need
I want certain bottles to launch automatically when the system boots — e.g., a bottle running a background service, server, or always-on Windows app. Currently, I have to manually open Bottles and launch the bottle every time.
Describe the solution you'd like
Add a per-bottle option: "Launch on system startup." When enabled, Bottles would start the bottle and a specific program inside it automatically after login.
Implementation ideas:
- Toggle in bottle settings/preferences
- Allow selecting which program in the bottle to launch
- Use a Flatpak autostart
.desktop file or portal to register with the desktop session
Other solutions?
Manually creating a .desktop file pointing to flatpak run com.usebottles.bottles --bottle=<name> --executable=<path>, but requires CLI support that may not exist and duplicates configuration outside Bottles.
