Bridge stdio to D-Bus connection
TLDR
Forward to system bus
$ systemd-stdio-bridge
Forward to user bus$ systemd-stdio-bridge --user
Forward to container bus$ systemd-stdio-bridge -M [container]
Forward to custom bus address$ systemd-stdio-bridge -p unix:path=[/path/to/socket]
SYNOPSIS
systemd-stdio-bridge [OPTIONS]
DESCRIPTION
systemd-stdio-bridge implements a proxy between stdin/stdout and a D-Bus connection. It expects an open connection via stdin/stdout and creates a new connection to the specified bus.
This enables remote D-Bus access via SSH or similar transport mechanisms, bridging external connections to the local bus.
PARAMETERS
--user
Connect to user D-Bus session--system
Connect to system D-Bus (default)-M, --machine= CONTAINER
Connect to D-Bus in specified container-p, --bus-path= ADDRESS
Connect to custom D-Bus address
CAVEATS
Expects a properly formatted D-Bus connection on stdin. Used primarily for remote D-Bus access scenarios. Requires appropriate permissions on the target bus.
HISTORY
systemd-stdio-bridge enables remote D-Bus access patterns, supporting tools like `busctl` and `systemctl` when operating on remote systems via SSH.
