Ask HN: Deploy a sandboxed desktop software?
I have a nw.js application but at the same time I don't want to allow malicious code to be run on the clients machines.
My thought was to put the app in a sandbox and distribute the software along with the sandbox.
Has anybody run into such situation with Electron/nw.js? Say you ship a browser built on Electron/nw.js, how do you make it secure enough and is sandboxing the right approach?
I'm not sure where to ask this question as stackoverflow has already closed it
- jboulhous 9y agoHi, you may find a solution in the "node-main" key of a nw.js application manifest without sandboxing, see the manifest format here https://github.com/nwjs/nw.js/wiki/manifest-format https://github.com/nwjs/nw.js/wiki/manifest-format
