Can you point me to some example of apps that would benefit from this? So I can do some testing 👍 I'm a bit hesitant on this, as adding this by default would hamper the initful containers |

Well for one every Flutter app using Canonical's But if it breaks other stuff then that's a good enough reason for me to not do it, don't worry 😉 |

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I currently want to use an application in a distrobox container that requires access to the system bus. To do so it tries to access
/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socketwhich exists on my host but is not available within the distrobox container.Describe the solution you'd like
/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socketto be mounted inside the container.Describe alternatives you've considered
Uh, none.

In this case the application is a Flutter one using Canonical's
dbuspackage, I doubt that matters though.Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
