Nix-Bwrapper

[!NOTE]

Starting with version 1.0.0, nix-bwrapper publishes to FlakeHub with semantic versioning. It is recommended to lock your flake input to a major version (as shown in the example below), to avoid sudden unexpected breaking changes.

Alternatively, if you don’t care about that and just want the latest version no matter what, you may set it to any of the following:

# For any tagged release
https://flakehub.com/f/Naxdy/nix-bwrapper/*

# To get the latest commit to `main`
github:Naxdy/nix-bwrapper

Nix-Bwrapper is a utility aimed at creating a user-friendly method of sandboxing applications using bubblewrap with portals support. To do this, bwrapper leverages NixOS’ built-in buildFHSEnv wrapper.

Example:

{
  inputs = {
    nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";

    nix-bwrapper.url = "https://flakehub.com/f/Naxdy/nix-bwrapper/1.*";
  };

  outputs = { self, nixpkgs, nix-bwrapper }:
  let
    pkgs = import nixpkgs {
      system = "x86_64-linux";
      config.allowUnfree = true; # discord is unfree
      overlays = [
        nix-bwrapper.overlays.default # provides `mkBwrapper`
      ];
    };
  in {
    packages.x86_64-linux.discord-wrapped = pkgs.mkBwrapper {
      imports = [
        # Enables common desktop functionality (bind sockets for audio, display, dbus, mount
        # directories for fonts, theming, etc.).
        pkgs.bwrapperPresets.desktop
      ];
      app = {
        package = pkgs.discord;
        runScript = "discord";
      };
      # ...
    };
  };
}
