Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : host-spawn Version : 1.6.0 Upstream Contact: Stéphane Travostino * URL : https://github.com/1player/host-spawn * License : MIT-0 Programming Lang: Go Description : Run commands on your host machine from inside your flatpak sandbox, toolbox or distrobox containers
This package is useful for anyone using Debian inside a toolbx or distrobox container, so that they can launch commands on the host machine. For instance, I use a Debian toolbx on a host running Fedora Silverblue, and I use host-spawn to call xdg-open on the host machine, so that I can easily open a document (e.g., an image or pdf) from the terminal using the flatpak apps installed on my host machine. I am not aware of any other package with similar functionality. distrobox has a similar command called distrobox-host-exec, but it calls host-spawn under the hood.
