(title
(en "New @code{GUIX_SANDBOX_EXTRA_SHARES} variable for nonguix containers (Steam)")
(body
(en "The nonguix container has a new environment variable
@code{GUIX_SANDBOX_EXTRA_SHARES} which is a @code{:} delimited list of
directories to share with the container. These directories will be available
at the same path as the host. For instance, you can set this to another drive
you want to have a Steam library in by either setting this variable in your
environment or launching Steam with:
@example
GUIX_SANDBOX_EXTRA_SHARES=/some/other/drive steam
@end example
This should allow you to select @code{/some/other/drive} in Steam for a game
library. This is an experimental feature and just provides a basic way to add
shares to the container, so please test and report any difficulties or
suggestions to improve."))))
