The author shares a practical approach to sandboxing Linux tools using bubblewrap, aiming for low-friction isolation without requiring a separate distro installation. The method bind-mounts host filesystems read-only while sharing the current working directory read-write, enabling host binaries to run inside the sandbox with minimal setup.
Background
Bubblewrap is a setuid container tool commonly used by Flatpak and other sandboxed applications on Linux to provide lightweight namespace-based isolation.
