ntainer.scm?id=329fa5bdbb621dae586cbfb062cbd3b295880ba5'>Revert "linux-container: Correct test for unprivileged user namespace support."Marius Bakke This broke 'guix environment --container' on non-Debian distributions. Fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/45066>. Reported by luhux <luhux@outlook.com>. This reverts commit 8bc5ca5160db3d82bd5b6b2b7ed80c96f42bd33e. 2020-12-03linux-container: Correct test for unprivileged user namespace support.Paul Garlick Fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/31977>. Reported by Paul Garlick <pgarlick@tourbillion-technology.com>. * gnu/build/linux-container.scm (unprivileged-user-namespace-supported?): Return #f when the 'userns-file' does not exist. 2020-10-01linux-container: Reset jailed root permissions.Jelle Licht * gnu/build/linux-container.scm (mount-file-systems): Add 'chmod' call. * tests/containers.scm ("call-with-container, mnt namespace, root permissions"): New test. 2020-09-10build: linux-container: Fix run-container.Mathieu Othacehe This is a follow-up of 5316dfc0f125b658e4a2acf7f00f49501663d943. Some users of run-container may expect that the container is jailed, even if there are no mounts. This is the case for some Guix tests. * gnu/build/linux-container.scm (run-container): Do not jail the container when the requested root is "/". 2020-09-02linux-container: Do not jail the container unconditionally.Mathieu Othacehe We may want to run a container inside the MNT namespace, without jailing the container. If RUN-CONTAINER is passed a null MOUNTS list, do not jail the container. * gnu/build/linux-container.scm (run-container): Do not call MOUNT-FILE-SYSTEMS if MOUNTS list is empty. 2019-09-12linux-container: "run-container" scripts shows the container's PID.Ludovic Courtès * gnu/build/linux-container.scm (call-with-container): Add #:process-spawned-hook and honor it. * gnu/system/linux-container.scm (container-script)[script]: Define 'explain' and pass it as #:process-spawned-hook'. 2019-07-06linux-container: Mount a new /dev/pts instance in the container.Ludovic Courtès Fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/36463>. Reported by Steffen Rytter Postas <nc@scalehost.eu>. * gnu/build/linux-container.scm (mount-file-systems): When /dev/ptmx exists on the host, explicitly mount a new instance of devpts and make /dev/ptmx a symlink to /dev/pts/ptmx. 2019-06-23linux-container: Remove dependency on (guix utils).Ludovic Courtès Fixes a bug whereby derivations importing (gnu build linux-container), such as the 'bitlbee' and 'tor' services, would depend on the user's (guix config) file, which was pulled as a dependency of (guix utils). As a result, those derivations would vary from user to user. * gnu/build/linux-container.scm (call-with-temporary-directory): New procedure. 2019-04-02linux-container: Make the guest UID and GID a parameter.Ludovic Courtès * gnu/build/linux-container.scm (initialize-user-namespace): Add #:guest-uid and #:guest-gid parameters and honor them. (run-container): Likewise. (call-with-container): Likewise. * tests/containers.scm ("call-with-container, user namespace, guest UID/GID"): New test.
