NAME
profile - Security profile file syntax, and information about building new application profiles.
SYNOPSIS
Using a specific profile:
firejail --profile=filename.profile
Example:
$ firejail --appimage --profile=/etc/firejail/kdenlive.profile kdenlive.appimage
firejail --profile=profile_name
Example:
$ firejail --appimage --profile=kdenlive kdenlive.appimage
Building a profile manually:
Start with the template in /usr/share/doc/firejail/profile.template and modify it in a text
editor. To integrate the program in your desktop environment copy the profile file in
~/.config/firejail directory and run "sudo firecfg".
Aliases and redirections:
In some cases the same profile can be used for several applications. One such example is
LibreOffice. Build a regular profile for the main application, and for the rest use
/usr/share/doc/firejail/redirect_alias-profile.template.
Running the profile builder:
firejail --build=appname.profile appname
Example:
$ firejail --build=blobby.profile blobby
Run the program in "firejail --build" and try to exercise as many program features as
possible. The profile is extracted and saved in the current directory. Open it in a text
editor and add or remove sandboxing options as necessary. Test again after modifying the
profile. To integrate the program in your desktop environment copy the profile file in
~/.config/firejail directory and run "sudo firecfg".
DESCRIPTION
Several command line options can be passed to the program using profile files. Firejail chooses the
profile file as follows:
1. If a profile file is provided by the user with --profile option, the profile file is loaded. If a
profile name is given, it is searched for first in the ~/.config/firejail directory and if not found then
in /etc/firejail directory. Profile names do not include the .profile suffix. Example:
$ firejail --profile=/home/netblue/icecat.profile icecat
Reading profile /home/netblue/icecat.profile
[...]
$ firejail --profile=icecat icecat-wrapper.sh
Reading profile /etc/firejail/icecat.profile
[...]
2. If a profile file with the same name as the application is present in ~/.config/firejail directory or
in /etc/firejail, the profile is loaded. ~/.config/firejail takes precedence over /etc/firejail. Example:
$ firejail icecat
Command name #icecat#
Found icecat profile in /home/netblue/.config/firejail directory
Reading profile /home/netblue/.config/firejail/icecat.profile
[...]
3. Use a default.profile file if the sandbox is started by a regular user, or a server.profile file if
the sandbox is started by root. Firejail looks for these files in ~/.config/firejail directory, followed
by /etc/firejail directory. To disable default profile loading, use --noprofile command option. Example:
$ firejail
Reading profile /etc/firejail/default.profile
Parent pid 8553, child pid 8554
Child process initialized
[...]
$ firejail --noprofile
Parent pid 8553, child pid 8554
Child process initialized
[...]
Templates
In /usr/share/doc/firejail there are two templates to write new profiles.
profile.template - for regular profiles
redirect_alias-profile.template - for aliasing/redirecting profiles
Scripting
Scripting commands:
File and directory names
File and directory names containing spaces are supported. The space character ' ' should not be
escaped.
Example: "blacklist ~/My Virtual Machines"
# this is a comment
Example:
# disable networking
net none # this command creates an empty network namespace
?CONDITIONAL: profile line
Conditionally add profile line.
Example: "?HAS_APPIMAGE: whitelist ${HOME}/special/appimage/dir"
This example will load the whitelist profile line only if the --appimage option has been specified
on the command line.
Currently the only conditionals supported this way are HAS_APPIMAGE, HAS_NET, HAS_NODBUS,
HAS_NOSOUND, HAS_PRIVATE and HAS_X11. The conditionals ALLOW_TRAY, BROWSER_DISABLE_U2F and
BROWSER_ALLOW_DRM can be enabled or disabled globally in Firejail's configuration file.
The profile line may be any profile line that you would normally use in a profile except for
"quiet" and "include" lines.
Note: When using one or more conditionals and --profile, it is recommended that the relevant
option(s) (such as --appimage) be specified before --profile, so that their respective
conditional(s) (such as ?HAS_APPIMAGE) inside of the profile evaluate to true.
include other.profile
Include other.profile file.
Example: "include /etc/firejail/disable-common.inc"
The file name can be prefixed with a macro such as ${HOME} or ${CFG}. ${HOME} is expanded as user
home directory, and ${CFG} is expanded as Firejail system configuration directory - in most cases
/etc/firejail or /usr/local/etc/firejail.
Example: "include ${HOME}/myprofiles/profile1" will load "~/myprofiles/profile1" file.
Example: "include ${CFG}/firefox.profile" will load "/etc/firejail/firefox.profile" file.
The file name may also be just the name without the leading directory components. In this case,
first the user config directory (${HOME}/.config/firejail) is searched for the file name and if
not found then the system configuration directory is search for the file name. Note: Unlike the
--profile option which takes a profile name without the '.profile' suffix, include must be given
the full file name.
Example: "include firefox.profile" will load "${HOME}/.config/firejail/firefox.profile" file and
if it does not exist "${CFG}/firefox.profile" will be loaded.
System configuration files in ${CFG} are overwritten during software installation. Persistent
configuration at system level is handled in ".local" files. For every profile file in ${CFG}
directory, the user can create a corresponding .local file storing modifications to the persistent
configuration. Persistent .local files are included at the start of regular profile files.
noblacklist file_name
If the file name matches file_name, the file will not be blacklisted in any blacklist commands
that follow.
Example: "noblacklist ${HOME}/.mozilla"
nowhitelist file_name
If the file name matches file_name, the file will not be whitelisted in any whitelist commands
that follow.
Example: "nowhitelist ~/.config"
ignore Ignore command.
Example: "ignore seccomp"
Example: "ignore net eth0"
quiet Disable Firejail's output. This should be the first uncommented command in the profile file.
Example: "quiet"
Filesystem
These profile entries define a chroot filesystem built on top of the existing host filesystem. Each line
describes a file/directory that is inaccessible (blacklist), a read-only file or directory (read-only), a
tmpfs mounted on top of an existing directory (tmpfs), or mount-bind a directory or file on top of
another directory or file (bind). Use private to set private mode. File globbing is supported, and PATH
and HOME directories are searched, see the firejail FILE GLOBBING section for more details. Examples:
blacklist file_or_directory
Blacklist directory or file. Examples:
blacklist /usr/bin
blacklist /usr/bin/gcc*
blacklist ${PATH}/ifconfig
blacklist ${HOME}/.ssh
blacklist-nolog file_or_directory
When --tracelog flag is set, blacklisting generates syslog messages if the sandbox tries to access
the file or directory. blacklist-nolog command disables syslog messages for this particular file
or directory. Examples:
blacklist-nolog /usr/bin
blacklist-nolog /usr/bin/gcc*
bind directory1,directory2
Mount-bind directory1 on top of directory2. This option is only available when running as root.
bind file1,file2
Mount-bind file1 on top of file2. This option is only available when running as root.
disable-mnt
Disable /mnt, /media, /run/mount and /run/media access.
keep-config-pulse
Disable automatic ~/.config/pulse init, for complex setups such as remote pulse servers or non-
standard socket paths.
keep-dev-shm
/dev/shm directory is untouched (even with private-dev).
keep-var-tmp
/var/tmp directory is untouched.
mkdir directory
Create a directory in user home, under /tmp, or under /run/user/<UID> before the sandbox is
started. The directory is created if it doesn't already exist.
Use this command for whitelisted directories you need to preserve when the sandbox is closed.
Without it, the application will create the directory, and the directory will be deleted when the
sandbox is closed. Subdirectories are recursively created. Example from firefox profile:
mkdir ~/.mozilla
whitelist ~/.mozilla
mkdir ~/.cache/mozilla/firefox
whitelist ~/.cache/mozilla/firefox
For files in /run/user/<PID> use ${RUNUSER} macro:
mkdir ${RUNUSER}/firejail-testing
mkfile file
Similar to mkdir, this command creates an empty file in user home, or /tmp, or under
/run/user/<UID> before the sandbox is started. The file is created if it doesn't already exist.
noexec file_or_directory
Remount the file or the directory noexec, nodev and nosuid.
private
Mount new /root and /home/user directories in temporary filesystems. All modifications are
discarded when the sandbox is closed.
private directory
Use directory as user home. --private and --private=directory cannot be used together.
Bug: Even with this enabled, some commands (such as mkdir, mkfile and private-cache) will still
operate on the original home directory. Workaround: Disable the incompatible commands, such as by
using "ignore mkdir" and "ignore mkfile". For details, see #903
private-bin file,file
Build a new /bin in a temporary filesystem, and copy the programs in the list. The files in the
list must be expressed as relative to the /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, or /usr/local/bin
directories. The same directory is also bind-mounted over /sbin, /usr/bin and /usr/sbin.
Multiple private-bin commands are allowed and they accumulate.
private-cache
Mount an empty temporary filesystem on top of the .cache directory in user home. All modifications
are discarded when the sandbox is closed.
private-cwd
Set working directory inside jail to the home directory, and failing that, the root directory.
private-cwd directory
Set working directory inside the jail. Full directory path is required. Symbolic links are not
allowed.
private-dev
Create a new /dev directory. Only disc, dri, dvb, hidraw, null, full, zero, tty, pts, ptmx,
random, snd, urandom, video, log, shm and usb devices are available. Use the options no3d, nodvd,
nosound, notv, nou2f and novideo for additional restrictions.
private-etc file,directory
Build a new /etc in a temporary filesystem, and copy the files and directories in the list. The
files and directories in the list must be expressed as relative to the /etc directory, and must
not contain the / character (e.g., /etc/foo must be expressed as foo, but /etc/foo/bar --
expressed as foo/bar -- is disallowed). All modifications are discarded when the sandbox is
closed. Multiple private-etc commands are allowed and they accumulate.
private-home file,directory
Build a new user home in a temporary filesystem, and copy the files and directories in the list in
the new home. The files and directories in the list must be expressed as relative to the current
user's home directory. All modifications are discarded when the sandbox is closed.
private-lib file,directory
Build a new /lib directory and bring in the libraries required by the application to run. The
files and directories in the list must be expressed as relative to the /lib directory. This
feature is still under development, see man 1 firejail for some examples.
private-opt file,directory
Build a new /opt in a temporary filesystem, and copy the files and directories in the list. The
files and directories in the list must be expressed as relative to the /opt directory, and must
not contain the / character (e.g., /opt/foo must be expressed as foo, but /opt/foo/bar --
expressed as foo/bar -- is disallowed). All modifications are discarded when the sandbox is
closed.
private-srv file,directory
Build a new /srv in a temporary filesystem, and copy the files and directories in the list. The
files and directories in the list must be expressed as relative to the /srv directory, and must
not contain the / character (e.g., /srv/foo must be expressed as foo, but /srv/foo/bar --
expressed as foo/bar -- is disallowed). All modifications are discarded when the sandbox is
closed.
private-tmp
Mount an empty temporary filesystem on top of /tmp directory whitelisting /tmp/.X11-unix.
read-only file_or_directory
Make directory or file read-only.
read-write file_or_directory
Make directory or file read-write.
tmpfs directory
Mount an empty tmpfs filesystem on top of directory. Directories outside user home or not owned by
the user are not allowed. Sandboxes running as root are exempt from these restrictions.
tracelog
Blacklist violations logged to syslog.
whitelist file_or_directory
Whitelist directory or file. A temporary file system is mounted on the top directory, and the
whitelisted files are mount-binded inside. Modifications to whitelisted files are persistent,
everything else is discarded when the sandbox is closed. The top directory can be all directories
in / (except /proc and /sys), /sys/module, /run/user/$UID, $HOME and all directories in /usr.
Symbolic link handling: with the exception of user home, both the link and the real file should be
in the same top directory. For user home, both the link and the real file should be owned by the
user.
whitelist-ro file_or_directory
Equivalent to "whitelist file_or_directory" followed by "read-only file_or_directory"
writable-etc
Mount /etc directory read-write.
writable-run-user
Disable the default blacklisting of run/user/$UID/systemd and /run/user/$UID/gnupg.
writable-var
Mount /var directory read-write.
writable-var-log
Use the real /var/log directory, not a clone. By default, a tmpfs is mounted on top of /var/log
directory, and a skeleton filesystem is created based on the original /var/log.
Security filters
The following security filters are currently implemented:
allow-debuggers
Allow tools such as strace and gdb inside the sandbox by whitelisting system calls ptrace and
process_vm_readv.
apparmor
Enable AppArmor confinement with the "firejail-default" AppArmor profile.
apparmor profile_name
Enable AppArmor confinement with a custom AppArmor profile. Note that the profile in question
must already be loaded into the kernel.
caps Enable default Linux capabilities filter. See capabilities(7) for details.
caps.drop capability,capability,capability
Blacklist given Linux capabilities.
caps.drop all
Blacklist all Linux capabilities.
caps.keep capability,capability,capability

memory-deny-write-execute
Install a seccomp filter to block attempts to create memory mappings that are both writable and
executable, to change mappings to be executable or to create executable shared memory.
nonewprivs
Sets the NO_NEW_PRIVS prctl. This ensures that child processes cannot acquire new privileges
using execve(2); in particular, this means that calling a suid binary (or one with file
capabilities) does not result in an increase of privilege.
noprinters
Disable printers.
noroot Use this command to enable an user namespace. The namespace has only one user, the current user.
There is no root account (uid 0) defined in the namespace.
protocol protocol1,protocol2,protocol3
Enable protocol filter. The filter is based on seccomp and checks the first argument to socket
system call. Recognized values: unix, inet, inet6, netlink, packet, and bluetooth. Multiple
protocol commands are allowed and they accumulate.
restrict-namespaces
Install a seccomp filter that blocks attempts to create new cgroup, ipc, net, mount, pid, time,
user or uts namespaces.
restrict-namespaces cgroup,ipc,net,mnt,pid,time,user,uts
Install a seccomp filter that blocks attempts to create any of the specified namespaces.
seccomp
Enable seccomp filter and blacklist the syscalls in the default list. See man 1 firejail for more
details.
seccomp.32
Enable seccomp filter and blacklist the syscalls in the default list for 32 bit system calls on a
64 bit architecture system.
seccomp syscall,syscall,syscall
Enable seccomp filter and blacklist the system calls in the list on top of default seccomp filter.
seccomp.32 syscall,syscall,syscall

Enable seccomp filter and blacklist the system calls in the list for 32 bit system calls on a 64
bit architecture system.
seccomp.keep syscall,syscall,syscall
Enable seccomp filter and whitelist the system calls in the list.
seccomp.32.keep syscall,syscall,syscall
Enable seccomp filter and whitelist the system calls in the list for 32 bit system calls on a 64
bit architecture system.
seccomp-error-action kill | log | ERRNO
Return a different error instead of EPERM to the process, kill it when an attempt is made to call
a blocked system call, or allow but log the attempt.
x11 Enable X11 sandboxing.
x11 none
Blacklist /tmp/.X11-unix directory, ${HOME}/.Xauthority and file specified in ${XAUTHORITY}
environment variable. Remove DISPLAY and XAUTHORITY environment variables. Stop with error
message if X11 abstract socket will be accessible in jail.
x11 xephyr
Enable X11 sandboxing with Xephyr server.
x11 xorg
Enable X11 sandboxing with X11 security extension.
x11 xpra
Enable X11 sandboxing with Xpra server.
x11 xvfb
Enable X11 sandboxing with Xvfb server.
xephyr-screen WIDTHxHEIGHT
Set screen size for x11 xephyr. This command should be included in the profile file before x11
xephyr command.
Example:
xephyr-screen 640x480
x11 xephyr
DBus filtering
Access to the session and system DBus UNIX sockets can be allowed, filtered or disabled. To disable the
abstract sockets (and force applications to use the filtered UNIX socket) you would need to request a new
network namespace using --net command. Another option is to remove unix from the --protocol set.
Filtering requires installing the xdg-dbus-proxy utility. Filter rules can be specified for well-known
DBus names, but they are also propagated to the owning unique name, too. The permissions are "sticky" and
are kept even if the corresponding well-known name is released (however, applications rarely release
well-known names in practice). Names may have a .* suffix to match all names underneath them, including
themselves (e.g. "foo.bar.*" matches "foo.bar", "foo.bar.baz" and "foo.bar.baz.quux", but not "foobar").
For more information, see xdg-dbus-proxy(1).
Examples:
dbus-system filter
Enable filtered access to the system DBus. Filters can be specified with the dbus-system.talk and
dbus-system.own commands.

the client owning the bus name org.freedesktop.Notifications on the session DBus.
nodbus (deprecated)
Disable D-Bus access (both system and session buses). Equivalent to dbus-system none and dbus-user
none.
Individual filters can be overridden via the --ignore command. Supposing a profile has
[...]
dbus-user filter
dbus-user.own org.mozilla.firefox.*
dbus-user.talk org.freedesktop.Notifications
dbus-system none
[...]
and the user wants to disable notifications, this can be achieved by putting the below in a local
override file:
[...]
ignore dbus-user.talk org.freedesktop.Notifications
[...]
Resource limits, CPU affinity
These profile entries define the limits on system resources (rlimits) for the processes inside the
sandbox. The limits can be modified inside the sandbox using the regular ulimit command. cpu command
configures the CPU cores available.
Examples:
cpu 0,1,2
Use only CPU cores 0, 1 and 2.
nice -5
Set a nice value of -5 to all processes running inside the sandbox.

All user home directories are visible inside the sandbox. By default, only current user home
directory is visible.
env name=value
Set environment variable. Examples:
env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/test/lib
env CFLAGS="-W -Wall -Werror"
ipc-namespace
Enable IPC namespace.
keep-fd
Inherit open file descriptors to sandbox.
name sandboxname
Set sandbox name. Example:
name browser

noautopulse (deprecated)
See keep-config-pulse.
nodvd Disable DVD and audio CD devices.
nogroups
Disable supplementary user groups
noinput
Disable input devices.
nosound
Disable sound system.
notv Disable DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting) TV devices.
nou2f Disable U2F devices.
novideo
Disable video capture devices.
machine-id
Spoof id number in /etc/machine-id file - a new random id is generated inside the sandbox.
shell none
Run the program directly, without a shell.
Networking
Networking features available in profile files.
defaultgw address
Use this address as default gateway in the new network namespace.
dns address
Set a DNS server for the sandbox. Up to three DNS servers can be defined.
hostname name
Set a hostname for the sandbox.
hosts-file file
Use file as /etc/hosts.
ip address
Assign IP addresses to the last network interface defined by a net command. A default gateway is
assigned by default.
Example:
net eth0
ip 10.10.20.56
ip none
No IP address and no default gateway are configured for the last interface defined by a net
command. Use this option in case you intend to start an external DHCP client in the sandbox.
Example:
net eth0
ip none
ip dhcp
Acquire an IP address and default gateway for the last interface defined by a net command, as well
as set the DNS servers according to the DHCP response. This command requires the ISC dhclient
DHCP client to be installed and will start it automatically inside the sandbox.
Example:
net br0
ip dhcp
This command should not be used in conjunction with the dns command if the DHCP server is set to
configure DNS servers for the clients, because the manually specified DNS servers will be
overwritten.
The DHCP client will NOT release the DHCP lease when the sandbox terminates. If your DHCP server
requires leases to be explicitly released, consider running a DHCP client and releasing the lease
manually in conjunction with the net none command.
ip6 address
Assign IPv6 addresses to the last network interface defined by a net command.
Example:
net eth0
ip6 2001:0db8:0:f101::1/64
ip6 dhcp
Acquire an IPv6 address and default gateway for the last interface defined by a net command, as
well as set the DNS servers according to the DHCP response. This command requires the ISC
dhclient DHCP client to be installed and will start it automatically inside the sandbox.
Example:
net br0
ip6 dhcp
This command should not be used in conjunction with the dns command if the DHCP server is set to
configure DNS servers for the clients, because the manually specified DNS servers will be
overwritten.
The DHCP client will NOT release the DHCP lease when the sandbox terminates. If your DHCP server
requires leases to be explicitly released, consider running a DHCP client and releasing the lease
manually.
iprange address,address
Assign an IP address in the provided range to the last network interface defined by a net command.
A default gateway is assigned by default.
Example:
net eth0
iprange 192.168.1.150,192.168.1.160
mac address
Assign MAC addresses to the last network interface defined by a net command.
mtu number
Assign a MTU value to the last network interface defined by a net command.
net bridge_interface
Enable a new network namespace and connect it to this bridge interface. Unless specified with
option --ip and --defaultgw, an IP address and a default gateway will be assigned automatically to
the sandbox. The IP address is verified using ARP before assignment. The address configured as
default gateway is the bridge device IP address. Up to four --net bridge devices can be defined.
Mixing bridge and macvlan devices is allowed.
net ethernet_interface|wireless_interface
Enable a new network namespace and connect it to this ethernet interface using the standard Linux
macvlan or ipvlan driver. Unless specified with option --ip and --defaultgw, an IP address and a
default gateway will be assigned automatically to the sandbox. The IP address is verified using
ARP before assignment. The address configured as default gateway is the default gateway of the
host. Up to four --net devices can be defined. Mixing bridge and macvlan devices is allowed.
net none
Enable a new, unconnected network namespace. The only interface available in the new namespace is
a new loopback interface (lo). Use this option to deny network access to programs that don't
really need network access.
net tap_interface
Enable a new network namespace and connect it to this ethernet tap interface using the standard
Linux macvlan driver. If the tap interface is not configured, the sandbox will not try to
configure the interface inside the sandbox. Please use ip, netmask and defaultgw to specify the
configuration.
netfilter
If a new network namespace is created, enabled default network filter.
netfilter filename
If a new network namespace is created, enabled the network filter in filename.
netlock
Generate a custom network filter and enable it.
netmask address
Use this option when you want to assign an IP address in a new namespace and the parent interface
specified by --net is not configured. An IP address and a default gateway address also have to be
added.
netns namespace
Run the program in a named, persistent network namespace. These can be created and configured
using "ip netns".
veth-name name
Use this name for the interface connected to the bridge for --net=bridge_interface commands,
instead of the default one.
Other
deterministic-exit-code
Always exit firejail with the first child's exit status. The default behavior is to use the exit
status of the final child to exit, which can be nondeterministic.
deterministic-shutdown
Always shut down the sandbox after the first child has terminated. The default behavior is to keep
the sandbox alive as long as it contains running processes.
join-or-start sandboxname
Join the sandbox identified by name or start a new one. Same as "firejail --join=sandboxname"
command if sandbox with specified name exists, otherwise same as "name sandboxname".
