RFE: add --hostname option (requires --unshare-uts)

[plaimbock]

Neat project, thanks! Would it be possible to add bwrap's "--hostname" option? I like to set it to 'sandbox' so that its clear that the env is bubblewrapped. Setting the --hostname option requires --unshare-uts.

Good idea. What I've been doing is setting PS1 in .bashrc.

export PS1="($SANDBOX) $PS1"

sbx actually uses the contents of /etc/skel to create sandboxed home dirs. You could add something like this to the end of /etc/skel/.bashrc:

if [ -n "$SANDBOX" ]; then
  export PS1="($SANDBOX) $PS1"
if

This way every sandbox that has a home directory would show its name in the prompt without having to unshare UTS.

Thank you for your very quick solutions :-) I found another way to do it in global.yml:

• args: [--clearenv, --unshare-pid, --unshare-uts, --hostname, sandbox]
  That's ugly but it works. --hostname sandbox does not work as it is quoted in the final bwrap command.
