Anyone know how to contain (sandbox) .appimage files on Linux?
I have certain game launcher (I don’t wanna disclose which) that spreads through appimage. And I don’t feel comfortable game having full r/w on my /home dir.
Any advices?
P.S: what do you think about something like https://flathub.org/en/apps/it.mijorus.gearlever?
Firejail is an option.
Run firejail --appimage ./yourlauncher.AppImage and you’ve got basic containment immediately.
You can add a custom profile later to lock down specific paths like your home dir.
Also can be complimented with:
What distro are you on?
Is it worth choosing? Devs of it says it is not that safe:
