Flatpak bitcoin-core not generating .cookie file

0

I'm using the version of Bitcoin-Qt 0.18.1 that comes with Flatpak. I've looked in the Bitcoin datadir, which is in ~/.var/app/org.bitcoincore.bitcoin-qt/data/ and there isn't any .cookie file there. This is preventing me from running Electrum Personal Server.

My Linux distro is MX Linux.

My bitcoin.conf is empty.

The GUI does not start the RPC server by default. To make sure the RPC server is running, pass the -server=1 flag on the command line or set server=1 in the Bitcoin Core config file.
