"firecfg.conf" with list of disabled profiles

[danielkrajnik]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Some programs can't be made to work with firejail yet. Until a solution is found user needs to remove symlinks from /usr/local/bin to take them out of firejail. These symlinks however will be recreated on the next run of fiirecfg --clean && firecfg. If a list of "blacklisted" profiles stored in .config/firejail was read on each run of firecfg (to avoid creating them) instead that would be really helpful.

Describe alternatives you've considered

This script by rusty-snake could be used as a manual alternative, but it would be really helpful to have a native support.

Until someone implements such native support you can use nojail. It is also available in the AUR for people who happen to run Arch Linux (based) OS.

There could be a --no-user-profile-discovery option.

If you start firecfg w/o sudo (e.g. pkexec) or use sudo env -u SUDO_USER firecfg you can get this behavior already because firecfg can then not discover your user (this will also affect firejail.login).

There are more alternatives from me 😁 https://github.com/rusty-snake/firecfg.py

You're in luck, I started working on #2097 yesterday.

The implementation currently works, but there are some API considerations; I'll
post a draft PR later.

Closing in favor of #2097.

Oh wow, that's good to hear. Thank you for letting me know. I'm looking forward to see the PR.
