Bubblewrap/Examples
 Someone more experienced needs to look over this. |
Todo: Since bubblewrap can make use of seccomp, restrictive versions should be added.
Note: This page assumes you have already read over Bubblewrap. To try and avoid duplicates, everything will be explained for Firefox and only when it differs (non obviously) for everything else. Where applicable this also assumes: Wayland only + PipeWire.
Note:
imv, mpv and zathura currently only accept 1 (mandatory, except imv) argument. This should (hopefully) be temporary, until I figure out how to pass multiple arguments (without including everything else).Firefox

--new-session \
New terminal session for the sandbox.
--die-with-parent \
Child process dies when bwrap parent dies.

Pass the path to "$NEW_HOME" for "$HOME".
--setenv WAYLAND_DISPLAY "$WAYLAND_DISPLAY" \
Specify the Wayland display to run clients on.
--setenv XDG_CACHE_HOME "$NEW_XDG_CACHE_HOME" \
User-specific non-essential (cached) data.

Needed for DNS resolution.
--bind-try "${XDG_CACHE_HOME}/mozilla/" "${NEW_XDG_CACHE_HOME}/mozilla/" \

...
(Optional) If you modify "well known" user directories, like ~/Downloads/, you need this to have Firefox pick it up.
Note: If you use "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/user-dirs.dirs" you should also add the corresponding path(s).
For example if you set XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR to "${HOME}/downloads/" you would also add:
...
--bind "${XDG_DATA_HOME}/firefox/" "${NEW_HOME}/.mozilla/" \
--bind-try "${HOME}/downloads/" "${NEW_HOME}/downloads/" \
--ro-bind /lib/ld-musl-x86_64.so.1 /lib/ld-musl-x86_64.so.1 \
...
--bind "${XDG_DATA_HOME}/firefox/" "${NEW_HOME}/.mozilla/" \
"${XDG_DATA_HOME}/firefox/" is the location of Firefox data. Shown to Firefox as "${NEW_HOME}/.mozilla/".
Note: This has the added benefit of getting ~/.mozilla/ out of your "$HOME", and conforming more to XDG. This may one day not be necessary: Support for the Freedesktop.org XDG Base Directory Specification (2004-09-14).

Bind the Wayland socket file.
--ro-bind /usr/lib/ /usr/lib/ \
Object files and libraries.
Note: It is not worth the time to limit this, the churn is too great.
--ro-bind /usr/share/X11/xkb/ /usr/share/X11/xkb/ \
XKB is a keyboard keymap support library.
Note: Even tho the path has */X11/* Wayland uses it too.
--ro-bind /usr/share/fontconfig/ /usr/share/fontconfig/ \
Font presets.
--ro-bind /usr/share/fonts/ /usr/share/fonts/ \
Global directory scanned for font files.
--ro-bind /usr/share/glib-2.0/ /usr/share/glib-2.0/ \

--ro-bind /usr/share/icu/ /usr/share/icu/ \

... --ro-bind /usr/share/icu/ /usr/share/icu/ \ --ro-bind /usr/share/libdrm/ /usr/share/libdrm/ \ --ro-bind /usr/share/mime/ /usr/share/mime/ \ ...
(Optional) Direct Rendering Manager (DRM), Linux kernel subsystem for interfacing with GPUs of video cards. Programs can use this to have the GPU do hardware-accelerated 3D rendering and video decoding.
--ro-bind /usr/share/mime/ /usr/share/mime/ \
Global XDG MIME directory.
/usr/lib/firefox/firefox
Call Firefox.
Tip: If you use multiple profiles you can have:
/usr/lib/firefox/firefox -P "$@"this will allow you to pass a profile name and go into that specific one or not pass anything and get prompted for which to choose.
PipeWire audio

--ro-bind /sys/bus/pci/ /sys/bus/pci/ \
--ro-bind "${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/${WAYLAND_DISPLAY}" "${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/${WAYLAND_DISPLAY}" \

Without this you get
Crash Annotation GraphicsCriticalError: |[0][GFX1-]: glxtest: cannot access /sys/bus/pci (t=0.177033) [GFX1-]: glxtest: cannot access /sys/bus/pci

Get the absolute pathname using realpath, so you can pass a
relative argument and still bind the argument. If you don't pass in
anything it will default to ./, the current directory.
Warning: If you don't pass anything and it defaults to the current directory, it will have everything under that directory shown to
imv, recursively.

--player-operation-mode=pseudo-gui \
Because --new-session is used, this is needed to have a way to
control mpv when it would otherwise not show a GUI.
Tip: If you followed Bubblewrap#.desktop_integration, you should remove it from "${XDG_DATA_HOME}/applications/bwrap-mpv.desktop".
--title='bwrap | ${media-title}' \
Set the window title, showing at a glance that you are using bwrap.
mpv-net
If you want to use mpv to stream over the Internet, you will need
a few things more.

Pulse audio
--ro-bind "${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/pulse" "${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/pulse" \
Pulse audio.
Screenshots
The default screenshots directory is "$XDG_DESKTOP_DIR" (which is
"${HOME}/Desktop/", which will fallback to "$HOME/" if
"${HOME}/Desktop/" doesn't exist). That means that by default
bwrap-mpv[-net] won't allow screenshots unless you change a few things.
Do the following to allow an XDG approved screenshots directory:
...
XDG_CONFIG_HOME="${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:=$HOME/.config}"
XDG_DATA_HOME="${XDG_DATA_HOME:=$HOME/.local/share}"
...
NEW_XDG_CONFIG_HOME="${NEW_HOME}${XDG_CONFIG_HOME#"$HOME"}"
NEW_XDG_DATA_HOME="${NEW_HOME}${XDG_DATA_HOME#"$HOME"}"
mkdir -pm 0700 "${XDG_DATA_HOME}/mpv/"
...
--setenv XDG_CONFIG_HOME "$NEW_XDG_CONFIG_HOME" \
--setenv XDG_DATA_HOME "$NEW_XDG_DATA_HOME" \
--setenv XDG_RUNTIME_DIR "$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR" \

--ro-bind /lib/ld-musl-x86_64.so.1 /lib/ld-musl-x86_64.so.1 \
...
Now make mpv use that directory:
Contents of "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/mpv/mpv.conf"

# Something like this, change to match "$XDG_DATA_HOME"
