About Firejail
Firejail is a SUID sandbox program that reduces the risk of security breaches by restricting the running
environment of untrusted applications using Linux namespaces, seccomp-bpf and Linux capabilities. It
allows a process and all its descendants to have their own private view of the globally shared kernel
resources, such as the network stack, process table, mount table. Firejail can work in a SELinux or
AppArmor environment, and it is integrated with Linux Control Groups.
Configuration
/usr/lib/firetools/uiapps file contains the default list of applications recognized by default. The user
can add more applications by creating a simillar file in ~/.config/firetools/uiapps in user home
directory. Each line describes an application as follows:
executable; description; icon; (optional) firejail command
Some examples:
inkscape;Inkscape SVG Editor;inkscape
calibre;eBook Reader;/usr/share/calibre/images/lt.png
mpv;MPV;mpv;firejail mpv --player-operation-mode=pseudo-gui
