Running programs in isolation or VM's

Latest response

Hi, I would like to know if there is a way to sandbox/isolate programs, for system security? I know in Debian, Firetools can be used, and on Qubes the programs run in there own VM's.

Hi GD,

Applications can be run isolated from the system by using flatpak : sudo yum install flatpak
System processes can be run isolated from the system with docker : sudo yum install docker
Docker is available in the extras channel - how to enable it I have already explained to you before. :)

Regards,
Christian

Hi, thanks for your reply! If I just want to sandbox programs like: firefox, and chrome browser, I should use flatpak? I’m just wanting to islolate the web browsers mostly. Thanks! :)

Hi GD,

Yes, when a flatpak version of the browser is available - please read the documentation how to do it. :)
