I'd love to try this but ideally we'd have a package for this. Maybe we can toss this in a COPR or something. (Appimage isn't an option I'm willing to support)

There's a COPR now, if it gets put into Fedora then it'll be real easy: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/espanso-copr-available-for-testing/88921

Oh wow! That was quicker than I thought, I didn't know this could happen on such short turn around times!

Update:

I have installed the COPR as suggested on Discord in the following manner,

1. Downloaded the repo file from https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/eclipseo/espanso/
2. Added it to /etc/yum.repos.d
3. Installed it as rpm-ostree install espanso-wayland.
4. Now I am able to follow the guide to enable espanso-wayland as a systemd service and it launches.

However, I still have the following issues,

1. I am unable to use setcap as indicated,
   sudo setcap "cap_dac_override p" $(which espanso-wayland) I get the error Failed to set capabilities on file /usr/bin/espanso-wayland' (Read-only file system)
2. A window/process that I am unable to dismiss is created. If I kill it with ps -ef | grep 'espanso-wayland' and then kill, then it doesn't run at all. Here is a video for it.

Any tips would be really helpful!

I have reverted back to the distrobox approach that worked earlier for me.

Just checking in to see if any of you have tried this!

@castrojo Can you let me know what help is required? I'd be happy to learn and help if I can.

Someone needs to PR in the copr and enable the package and then probably fix the issues you ran into.

Please see ublue-os/bazzite@ed975d1

For a method of setting capabilities for binaries.

@m2Giles Is this the specific line that you refer to ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/mount --bind /usr/local/bin/.sunshine /usr/bin/sunshine?

Please read through the following to understand what is going on.

https://universal-blue.discourse.group/t/selinux-workarounds-for-binaries-with-the-wrong-label/342?u=m2giles

Instead of SELinux issues, your binary doesn't a capability it needs to function. So you can use the following ExecStart=/usr/sbin/setcap cap_dac_override p /usr/bin/espanso-wayland)

If espanso-wayland is a symlink you will need to modify it for following the symlink instead.

Sigh, copied the wrong line, I was referring to ExecStart=/usr/sbin/setcap cap_sys_admin p /usr/bin/sunshine instead of what I had put in.

Thank you for the details, I'll check the links and report back to see if this works.
