Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/2916

Hi,

newHomeDir=/home/test99

sudo mkdir $newHomeDir

sudo chmod -R 777 $newHomeDir

sudo chown $USERNAME $newHomeDir

firejail --noprofile --read-write=$newHomeDir --read-only=/my_custom_dir --private=$newHomeDir opera

I got this error:

Error mount bind: fs_home.c:239 fs_private_homedir: No such file or directory

Thanks for your help

I found it. With below change it worked:

newHomeDir=/home/myusername/test99

but why? Is there any way to use /home/$newHome ?

@jsabe you need --allusers

--allusers
All directories under /home are visible inside the sandbox. By
default, only current user home directory is visible.
