Installing extensions

To install extensions automatically, you need:

The correct download link for your GNOME Shell version
The extension UUID

You can find this info by visiting the GNOME extension catalog, selecting the version you need, and copying the download link. After downloading, extract the file and check the uuid value in metadata.json.

Here’s an example YAML code to install a Podman extension for GNOME 41:

gnome_extensions:
  - name: containers@royg
    url: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension-data/containersroyg.v19.shell-extension.zip

Dependencies

No dependencies.
