Containment & sandboxing
Launched apps are sandboxed by default. The default level is fail-closed: with no
sandbox runtime available, glass_start errors rather than running the app unconfined.
Set the level with the GLASS_SANDBOX environment variable on the server (e.g. GLASS_SANDBOX=off
to launch unconfined when you understand the risk):
- Linux: bubblewrap + unprivileged user namespaces.
- Windows: Sandboxie Classic.
glass-mcp doctor reports sandbox availability alongside display/compositor checks and prints
the exact remedy for your system. The full level table is in the
glass README.
