When using SELinux for controlling processes within a container, you need to make sure any content that gets volume mounted into the container is readable, and potentially writable, depending on the use case.

By default, Docker container processes run with the system_u:system_r:svirt_lxc_net_t:s0 label. The svirt_lxc_net_t type is allowed to read/execute most content under /usr, but it is not allowed to use most other types on the system.

With the release of Fedora 22 Atomic host, the Cockpit Project team changed the way cockpit was delivered. You can read more about the change on the Cockpit Project wiki page. The team is currently uploading the cockpit container to the Fedora repo on the Docker Hub, but Fedora Release Engineering is working on publishing layered images. We now have a super-privileged container (SPC) for the web service (cockpit-ws) with the bridge, shell, and docker components installed by default on the Atomic host.

In case you missed the news on Twitter, we’re taking this show on the road! Specifically, we have a few opportunities to learn more about Project Atomic in Tokyo, Japan.

Next week, I’ll be attending LinuxCon Japan to speak about Project Atomic and the traditional package problems.

We’ll also be hosting a Meetup in Ebisu on 2 June at the Red Hat Tokyo office! If you’re local to Tokyo (or can get there easily) then you should definitely sign up and check out the Meetup!

Have a meetup, talk, or event where you’re discussing Project Atomic and want to spread the word? Shoot me an email to jzb at Red Hat or find me on Twitter.
