Currently Podman prevents SELinux container separation, when running within a container. This PR adds a new --security-opt label=nested When setting this option, Podman unmasks and mountsi /sys/fs/selinux into the containers making /sys/fs/selinux fully exposed. Secondly Podman sets the attribute run.oci.mount_context_type=rootcontext This attribute tells crun to mount volumes with rootcontext=MOUNTLABEL as opposed to context=MOUNTLABEL. With these two settings Podman inside the container is allowed to set its own SELinux labels on tmpfs file systems mounted into its parents container, while still being confined by SELinux. Thus you can have nested SELinux labeling inside of a container. Signed-off-by: Daniel J Walsh <dwalsh@redhat.com>
Common Man Page Options
This subdirectory contains option (flag) names and descriptions
common to multiple podman man pages. Each file is one option. The
filename does not necessarily need to be identical to the option
name: for instance, hostname.container.md
and hostname.pod.md
exist because the --hostname option is sufficiently different
between podman-{create,run}
and podman-pod-{create,run}
to
warrant living separately.
How
The files here are included in podman-*.md.in
files using the @@option
mechanism:
@@option foo ! will include options/foo.md
The tool that does this is hack/markdown-preprocess
. It is a python
script because it needs to run on readthedocs.io
. From a given .md.in
file, this script will create a .md
file that can then be read by
go-md2man
, sphinx
, anything that groks markdown. This runs as
part of make docs
.
Special Substitutions
Some options are almost identical except for 'pod' vs 'container'
differences. For those, use <<text for pods|text for containers>>
.
Order is immaterial: the important thing is the presence of the
string "pod
" in one half but not the other. The correct string
will be chosen based on the filename: if the file contains -pod
,
such as podman-pod-create
, the string with pod
(case-insensitive)
in it will be chosen.
The string <<subcommand>>
will be replaced with the podman subcommand
as determined from the filename, e.g., create
for podman-create.1.md.in
.
This allows the shared use of examples in the option file:
Example: podman <<subcommand>> --foo --bar
As a special case, podman-pod-X
becomes just X
(the "pod" is removed).
This makes the pod-id-file
man page more useful. To get the full
subcommand including 'pod', use <<fullsubcommand>>
.
Restrictions
There is a restriction for having a single text line with three back-ticks in the front and the end of the line. For instance:
```Some man page text```
This is currently not allowed and will cause a corruption of the compiled man page. Instead, put the three back-ticks on separate lines like:
``` Some man page text ```
