Problem

How to use the systemd-stdio-bridge command: Implement a proxy between stdin/stdout and a D-Bus. Note: It expects to receive an open connection via stdin/stdout when started, and will create a new connection to the specified bus. More information: <https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/systemd-stdio-bridge.html>.

Solution

systemd-stdio-bridge — Implement a proxy between stdin/stdout and a D-Bus. Note: It expects to receive an open connection via stdin/stdout when started, and will create a new connection to the specified bus. More information: <https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/systemd-stdio-bridge.html>.

Forward stdin/stdout to the local system bus:

systemd-stdio-bridge

Forward stdin/stdout to a specific user's D-Bus:

systemd-stdio-bridge --{{user}}

Forward stdin/stdout to the local system bus within a specific container:

systemd-stdio-bridge {{[-M|--machine]}} {{mycontainer}}

Forward stdin/stdout to a custom D-Bus address:

systemd-stdio-bridge {{[-p|--bus-path]}} unix:path=/{{path/to/dbus_socket}}
