Firejail: Sandbox Pinephone/Pinetab Apps
#1
I noticed interest in security and did a video on getting started with Firejail. While I demo it on the Pinetab (for viewability), I did the video with Pinephone users in mind.

Some users might think Firejail is unrealistically complicated-- the walkthrough will show you it's not.

You don't have to make a custom profile for each app (but you can customize later): Firejail has loads of ready profiles.

I go over what Firejail/Sandboxing is, how to use it, and use Firefox as an example. Towards the end we edit the Firefox button/icon on Phosh to make it run in Firejail sandbox by default. I also cover whitelisting so you do not lock yourself out of files while on Firefox.

Check it out here: https://youtu.be/7Q57Nj6Az3U

[Future videos will use another camera app- sorry about a couple moments of autofocus blurs!]
