A new version of AppMan has been released. AppMan is a bash script capable of installing, updating, and uninstalling thousands of AppImage packages.



"AppMan" 5.3

Run an AppImage in a sandbox using "Firejail"

New option --firejail or --sandbox, from now you can run AppImages using a sandbox (requires  Firejail installed on the host).

USAGE:

appman --firejail {PROGRAM}

At first start a copy of /etc/firejail/default.profile will be saved in your application's directory, so you're free to launch the AppImage once using the default Firejail profile (option 1) or the custom one (2), you can also patch the .desktop files (if available) to in sandbox-mode always (options 3 and 4). You can handle the custom firejail.profile file of the app using vim or nano using the option 5 (the first selection is vim).

Options 1, 2 and 5 are continuous to let you edit the file and test your changes immediately. Press any key to exit.

NOTE: once patched the .desktop files (options 3 and 4), they will be placed in ~/.local/share/applications, this means that if you have installed apps using AppMan, the original launchers will be overwrited.
