I haven’t come across any information regarding the automatic aspect, and I don’t have any personal experience with bubblejail either. However, bubblejail is mentioned on the arch wiki. It might be the closest match in this case, so you could give it a try.

You can use bubblewrap (its CLI name is bwrap) to make an arbitrary directory as $HOME for a specific program session. Basically, you can bind or set any environment variable you need for that particular program. I recommend checking out the arch wiki on this topic.

For example: bwrap --dev-bind / / --bind $HOME/your/dir/path $HOME <your_program>. This will let <your_program> have access to / and device permissions, with $HOME/your/dir/path serving as its $HOME.

My lazy ass decided to just go with the copied title generated by Lemmy when making the post. I edited the title, thanks for mentioning that!

Fixed.

Edit: The new link of the post works but I think providing an archive link would be more sufficient.
