I want to run bwrap inside my docker container. This seems to require the container to run in privileged mode. Does anyone know whether this is supported?
I can’t say for sure whether this particular software will work, but it definitely should!
We use docker images to make things simple and consistent, but apps don’t run inside Docker proper - they run as individual Firecracker virtual machines. You should be able to do just about anything in your machines, including running docker itself!

Hi,
Remember that docker images are used mainly as a packaging format for you to ship your rootfs around, but these get unpacked into a real filesystem and run by an actual full virtual machine (a reduced-footprint one, see https://firecracker-microvm.github.io/) and thus stuff running in it has all the privileges and capabilities of running in a real hardware-emulated VM.
Fairly easy to create an app with a stock Ubuntu or Debian image, install bwrap and give it a try, but like Allison says, it should totally work.

thanks for the info!
