How to use gnome keyring under my chroot?

I have a debian bullseye chroot in which I use svn. I want to save my password somewhere. One of the means to do so is to use gnome-keyring password store. What should I configure in order to allow svn in my chroot to use gnome-keyring? If possible, I don't want to start gnome-keyring twice. I currently use Ubuntu 23.04.

I figured it out for my case :

allow access to host dbus mounting /run/user
allow applications in your chroot to locate the bus setting the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment variable

Step 1 : I edited /etc/fstab and added the following line :

/run/user/<your UID> /<path_to_the_chroot_root_directory>/run/user/<your UID> auto bind 0 0

You need to replace with your UID and <path_to_the_chroot_root_directory> with the path to the root directory of your chroot.

To apply before reboot, remount :

sudo mount -a

I do not know if this mount breaches security.

Step 2 : A long time ago, for a reason, I've emptied DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment variable in my ~/.bashrc. I've just have to comment out this line.

If your variable is not yet set, this will do :

export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/run/user/$UID/bus

But having the variable unset looks like an evidence of another issue you may want to dig for a solution.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
