application launcher to start apps in a restrictive sandbox
sandbox-app-launcher runs each app as its own user, in a bubblewrap sandbox and confined by apparmor.
The directory, /shared, is shared across all app sandboxes to transfer
files across.
This implements a permissions system to configure what apps can access. There are currently 5 available permissions:
-
Network access
-
Webcam access
-
Microphone access
-
Shared storage access (read-only or read-write)
-
Dynamic native code execution
All apps the user installs will be automatically configured to run in the sandbox and a prompt will ask the user which permissions they wish to grant the application (not implemented yet).
Currently a WIP and not for actual use.
