ov eval dbus -- D-Bus Interaction Inside Containers
Overview
Send desktop notifications, call D-Bus methods, list services, and introspect objects inside running containers. Uses native Go (godbus/dbus/v5) -- no dependency on dbus-send CLI. All commands operate on the container's session bus.
Also as a declarative verb
Every ov eval dbus <method> (list/call/introspect/notify) is authorable as a dbus: verb inside a eval: block. Method-specific fields (dest:, path:, method:, args:, text:) are siblings of the verb line. See /ov-eval:eval for the full YAML shape. Example: - dbus: list\n stdout:\n contains: "org.freedesktop.Notifications".
Quick Reference
| Action | Command | Description |
|--------|---------|-------------|
| Send notification | ov eval dbus notify <image> "title" "body" | Desktop notification via Notifications interface |
| Call method | ov eval dbus call <image> <dest> <path> <method> [args...] | Generic D-Bus method call |
| List services | ov eval dbus list <image> | List all registered session bus services |
| Introspect | ov eval dbus introspect <image> <dest> <path> | Introspect a service's interfaces and methods |
Usage
Desktop Notifications
# Simple notification
ov eval dbus notify sway-browser-vnc "Build Complete" "Image built successfully"
# Notification appears via swaync or other notification daemon
Generic Method Calls
# Call any D-Bus method on the session bus
ov eval dbus call sway-browser-vnc org.freedesktop.Notifications /org/freedesktop/Notifications org.freedesktop.Notifications.GetCapabilities
List Services
# See all registered services on the container's session bus
ov eval dbus list sway-browser-vnc
Introspect a Service
# View interfaces, methods, signals, and properties
ov eval dbus introspect sway-browser-vnc org.freedesktop.Notifications /org/freedesktop/Notifications
Prerequisites
- Container must have a D-Bus session bus running (provided by the
dbuslayer) - For notifications: a notification daemon must be running (e.g.,
swaync) - Container must be running (
ov start <image>)
