Daily Workflow

This page covers the day-to-day commands for working with intuneme once you have completed the Quick Start.

Start the container

intuneme start

This boots the container, installs udev hotplug rules for USB devices, and configures Nvidia GPU forwarding if a GPU is detected. The container runs a full systemd instance — it takes a few seconds to be ready.

Launch apps

Open Microsoft Edge inside the container:

intuneme open edge

Open Intune Portal (for compliance checks and re-enrollment):

intuneme open portal

Tip

If you have the GNOME extension or desktop shortcuts installed, you can launch these apps directly from the Activities overview without opening a terminal.

Get a shell

intuneme shell

Opens an interactive login shell inside the container as the container user. This gives you a full D-Bus session with gnome-keyring, so you can run enrollment commands (intune-portal) or manage YubiKeys (ykman).

Check status

intuneme status

Shows whether the container is initialized, whether it is running, and (if the broker proxy is enabled) the proxy state.

Stop the container

intuneme stop

Shuts down the container and removes the udev hotplug rules. Enrollment state and browser profiles in ~/Intune/ are always preserved.

Typical session

intuneme start          # boot the container
intuneme open edge      # use Edge for corporate resources
# ... do your work ...
intuneme stop           # shut down when done

Note

The container does not need to be stopped between reboots — intuneme start is idempotent and re-installs any missing configuration on each boot.
