FLATPAK SPAWN(1) flatpak spawn FLATPAK SPAWN(1)
flatpak-spawn - Run commands in a sandbox
flatpak-spawn [OPTION...] COMMAND [ARGUMENT...]
Unlike other flatpak commands, flatpak-spawn is available to
applications inside the sandbox. It runs COMMAND outside the
sandbox: either in another sandbox, or on the host.
When called without --host, flatpak-spawn uses the Flatpak portal
to create a copy of the sandbox it was called from, optionally
using tighter permissions and optionally the latest version of the
app and runtime (see --latest-version).
The following options are understood:
-h, --help
Show help options and exit.
-v, --verbose
Print debug information
--forward-fd=FD
Forward a file descriptor
--clear-env
Run with a clean environment
--watch-bus
Make the spawned command exit when flatpak-spawn itself exits;
notably, this occurs when its connection to the session bus is
closed.
--env=VAR=VALUE
Set an environment variable
--latest-version
Use the latest version of the refs that are used to set up the
sandbox
--no-network
Run without network access
--sandbox
Run fully sandboxed. See the documentation for the --sandbox
option in flatpak-run(1)
See the --sandbox-expose and --sandbox-expose-ro options for
selective file access.
--sandbox-expose=NAME
Expose read-write access to a file in the sandbox.
Note that absolute paths or subdirectories are not allowed.
The files must be in the sandbox subdirectory of the instance
directory (i.e. ~/.var/app/$APP_ID/sandbox).
This option is useful in combination with --sandbox (otherwise
the instance directory is accessible anyway).
--sandbox-expose-ro=NAME
Expose readonly access to a file in the sandbox.
Note that absolute paths or subdirectories are not allowed.
The files must be in the sandbox subdirectory of the instance
directory (i.e. ~/.var/app/$APP_ID/sandbox).
This option is useful in combination with --sandbox (otherwise
the instance directory is accessible anyway).
--host
Run the command unsandboxed on the host. This requires access
to the org.freedesktop.Flatpak D-Bus interface.
--directory=DIR
The working directory in which to run the command.
Note that the given directory must exist in the sandbox or,
when used in conjunction with --host, on the host.
$ flatpak-spawn ls /var/run
