This utility lets you create an executable binary, with the suid flag set. The suid flag makes it possible for an user to execute an executable as if they are the owner of the file. For example:
suid-wrapper -o run_docker_sh $(which docker) -- run -it --rm alpine sh --
With the command above, a run_docker_sh will be created. Consider this file is owned by a user named 'docker'. If a user named 'user' tries to run it, because of the suid flag, the process that will be started will have the uid set to that of 'docker', with the same permissions 'docker' has.

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
Snapd can be installed from Manjaro’s Add/Remove Software application (Pamac), found in the launch menu. From the application, search for snapd, select the result, and click Apply.
Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:
sudo pacman -S snapd
Once installed, the systemd unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
To enable classic snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between /var/lib/snapd/snap and /snap:
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
To install suid-wrapper, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install suid-wrapper
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
