This particular program states that no character devices orblock devices might be created and that /dev/null is not allow allowedto be read, written, or created. Will cause LXC to instruct the kernel to allow access to alldevices by default. To deny access to devices deny device rulesmust be added via lxc.cgroup2.devices.deny key.This is referred to as a „denylist“ device program. Will cause LXC to instruct the kernel to block access to alldevices by default. To grant access to devices allow device rulesmust be added via the lxc.cgroup2.devices.allowkey.

If nobody posts one in the next week or two, I might work on it if I get some time. Specifically, you need to manually allocate the subordinate uid and gid ranges to root in /etc/subuid and /etc/subgid and then set those ranges in /etc/lxc/default.conf using lxc.idmap entries. If we want several of the containers we create to have autostart, then we might prefer to create a new configuration file to use with lxc-create. This can be mitigated by either setting the relevant lxc.cgroup configuration entries (memory, cpu and pids) or by making sure that the parent user is placed in appropriately configured cgroups at login time. The latter has been introduced back in LXC 1.0 (February 2014) and requires a reasonably recent kernel (3.13 or higher).

• Instead of files to read from andwrite to a eBPF program ofBPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_DEVICE can be attached to acgroup.
• In the unified cgroup hierarchy the implementation of the devicecontroller has completely changed.
• We are pleased to announce that LXC will fully support the new unified cgroup hierarchy (or cgroup v2, cgroup2).

Containers can be managed over the network in a transparent way through a REST API. It also works with large scale deployments by integrating with OpenStack. LXD isn’t a rewrite of LXC, in fact it’s building on top of LXC to provide a new,better user experience. Under the hood, LXD uses LXC through liblxc and its Go bindingto create and manage the containers. This means that „your-username“ is allowed to create up to 10 veth devices connected to the lxcbr0 bridge. As yet another option, if we want all of our containers to autostart, then we can modify the default LXC configuration directly.

As a convenience it also provides one default bridge on the system. To prevent this, untrusted users or containers ought to have entirely separate id maps (ideally of uids and gids each). We are aware of a number of exploits which will let you escape such containers and get full root privileges on the host. Some of those exploits can be trivially blocked and so we do update our different policies once made aware of them.

API¶

We will however try to mitigate those issues so that accidental damage to the host is prevented. NOTE – LXC will generally ensure that mount targets and relativebind-mount sources are properly confined under the containerroot, to avoid attacks involving over-mounting host directoriesand files. We are pleased to announce that LXC will fully support the new unified cgroup hierarchy (or cgroup v2, cgroup2). To this end we also introduced a new configuration key lxc.cgroup2.controller name to configure cgroup limits on the unified cgroup hierarchy.For detailed information you can read this blogpost.

What is Incus?¶

This is achieved through a combination of kernel security features such asnamespaces, mandatory access control and control groups. A hook to be run in the host’s namespace after the container has been setup, and immediately before starting the container init. Note that if two processes are in different user namespaces and one process wants to inherit the other’s network namespace it usually needs to inherit the user namespace as well.

New Configuration Keys

• If we later stop the container and restart it, our changes will still be there.
• Callers can now set LXC_ATTACH_TERMINAL to request to be attached to a new terminal allocated from the host’s devpts mount before attaching to the container.
• Some others aren’t blockable as they would require blocking so many core features that the average container would become completely unusable.
• Instead ofdistributing a system resource it allows to manage device access.
• And a lot more simpler in maintenance if you running big amounts of the containers.I seen many times how people spending hours configuring network to make less robust solution, that I can setup with with lxc network in several seconds.

Thisis resilient to block device backed filesystems as well ascontainer cloning. Whether this information is provided in the form of environmentvariables or as arguments to the script depends on the value oflxc.hook.version. If set to 1 then information isprovided in the form of environment variables.

This configuration parameter can be specified multiple times; oncefor each environment variable you wish to configure. We strongly recommend all LXC users to plan an upgrade to the 3.0 branch.Due to the transition of libpam-cgfs to LXC, this should be done at the same time as the upgrade to LXCFS 3.0 to avoid potential conflicts. Currently only querying the features FEATURE_MEM_TRACK and FEATURE_LAZY_PAGES are supported. Whether to rotate the console logfile specified in lxc.console.logfile.

The namespaces to create are specified as lxc coin a space separated list. Each namespace must correspond to one of the standard namespace identifiers as seen in the /proc/PID/ns directory. When lxc.namespace.clone is not explicitly set all namespaces supported by the kernel and the current configuration will be used.

In such containers, protection of the host and prevention of escape is entirely done through Mandatory Access Control (apparmor, selinux), seccomp filters, dropping of capabilities and namespaces. I’m battling that one in my chef environment… there are several resources out there that call themselves ‘lxd’ but they are simple wrappers around around the lxc CLI tool and are not actually LXD. There’s little to no understanding of the distinction in the general market, but I would soooo love to have their namespaces because I am trying to do it right, by giving the consumer options between the CLI and the REST api. Start with high-level basics and gradually work into the command-line, explaining networking concepts as you go.

Above, the output of lxc-info –name mycontainer and lxc-ls –fancy have shown us that mycontainer has an IP address on the host’s local network. We can reconfigure the container to autostart by added a line to the container’s configuration. Inside the container is where we really get a feeling for what a system container is and how it is like a lightweight virtual machine in many ways. If we later stop the container and restart it, our changes will still be there. Note that the terminal prompts we use here may be different than you see on your computer. The terminal prompts we use here emphasize if we are currently in a host shell or container shell and which user we are.

ROOT FILE SYSTEM

The “defaults” for things like storage path is an absolute pain to change, and should be looked at. It’s generally a bad idea to mix and match LXC and LXD on the same system, in my opinion, because you are likely to get confused, or LXC and LXD might get themselves confused with sharing resources like namespaces, etc. I am not aware of any good use case for using both, so you should really decide on which one to use, and stick with it. It’s basically an alternative to LXC’s tools and distribution template systemwith the added features that come from being controllable over the network.

Please see the cgroups manual page for a detailedexplanation of the differences between the two versions. With AppArmor disabled, privileged containers should be considered as entirely unsafe. While we don’t consider them to be root safe when apparmor is present, we also don’t know of a trivial way to escape in that case, but without apparmor it’s downright trivial. For interacting with the daemon (to create and manage containers, for instance), you want to use the lxc command. A container’s file system activity is restricted to /var/lib/lxc//rootfs. When a container is destroyed all of /var/lib/lxc/ is also destroyed.

Distribution packages¶

This marks Syfy’s first pilot in a while as the network has been ordering projects straight-to-series over the past two years. The network’s most recent pilot, Incorporated, executive produced by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, was just picked up to series. That means that if two containers share through identical or overlapping id maps, a common kernel uid, then they also share limits, meaning that a user in a first container can effectively DoS the same user in another container. However there is one thing that’s worth keeping in mind, ulimits are as their name suggest, tied to a uid at the kernel level. Those technologies combined will typically prevent any accidental damage of the host, where damage is defined as things like reconfiguring host hardware, reconfiguring the host kernel or accessing the host filesystem. When running a system container, Incus simulates a virtual version of a full operating system.
