🎀 apptainer(1) — the fakeroot config glow-up 🎀

okay so bestie, this is a page from the apptainer manual set — specifically the apptainer-config-fakeroot one, and it's honestly giving "root-only VIP lounge" energy 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

apptainer-config-fakeroot — manage fakeroot user mappings entries (root user only) 👑

fr fr, root only. if you're not root, this is not your party, no cap 🚫

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

apptainer config fakeroot

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

kk so like — the config fakeroot command lets a root user add / remove / enable / disable fakeroot user mappings. that's the whole vibe. it's the little guest-list manager for who gets to use the fakeroot feature ✨

---

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• -a, --add[=false] — add a fakeroot mapping entry for a user, which lets them use the fakeroot feature 🫶
• -d, --disable[=false] — disable a user's fakeroot mapping entry, so they can't use the fakeroot feature anymore (heads up: the user mapping must be present already) 🙈
• -e, --enable[=false] — enable a user's fakeroot mapping entry, so they can use the fakeroot feature again (again: the user mapping must be present) ⭐
• -h, --help[=false] — help for fakeroot, aka the "wait what does this do again" button 😭
• -r, --remove[=false] — remove the user's fakeroot mapping entry entirely, so they can't use the fakeroot feature 💀

---

🧚 EXAMPLE 🧚

ok these are literally the whole guest-list workflow, copied exactly, don't @ me:

to add a fakeroot user mapping for the vagrant user:

$ apptainer config fakeroot --add vagrant

to remove a fakeroot user mapping for the vagrant user:

$ apptainer config fakeroot --remove vagrant

to disable a fakeroot user mapping for the vagrant user:

$ apptainer config fakeroot --disable vagrant

to enable a fakeroot user mapping for the vagrant user:

$ apptainer config fakeroot --enable vagrant

like… add, remove, disable, enable. the four horsemen of the guest list 🎀
