2020-12-06Revert "linux-container: Correct test for unprivileged user namespace support."...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. Marius Bakke
2020-12-03linux-container: Correct test for unprivileged user namespace support....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. Paul Garlick
2020-10-01linux-container: Reset jailed root permissions....* gnu/build/linux-container.scm (mount-file-systems): Add 'chmod' call. * tests/containers.scm ("call-with-container, mnt namespace, root permissions"): New test. Jelle Licht
2020-09-10build: linux-container: Fix run-container....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 "/". Mathieu Othacehe
2020-09-02linux-container: Do not jail the container unconditionally....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. Mathieu Othacehe
2019-09-12linux-container: "run-container" scripts shows the container's PID....* 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'. Ludovic Courtès
2019-07-06linux-container: Mount a new /dev/pts instance in the container....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. Ludovic Courtès
2019-06-23linux-container: Remove dependency on (guix utils)....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. Ludovic Courtès
2019-04-02linux-container: Make the guest UID and GID a parameter....* 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. Ludovic Courtès
2018-01-15linux-container: Work around EBADF errors upon exit....Typically 'read-pid-file/container' would fail when starting services in containers such as BitlBee. * gnu/build/linux-container.scm (call-with-clean-exit): Use 'primitive-_exit' instead of 'primitive-exit'. (container-excursion*): Close OUT. Ludovic Courtès
2017-10-11file-systems: 'mount-file-system' now takes a <file-system> object....* gnu/build/file-systems.scm (mount-file-system): Rename 'spec' to 'fs' and assume it's a <file-system>. * gnu/build/linux-boot.scm (boot-system): Assume MOUNTS is a list of <file-system> and adjust accordingly. * gnu/build/linux-container.scm (mount-file-systems): Remove 'file-system->spec' call. * gnu/services/base.scm (file-system-shepherd-service): Add 'spec->file-system' call. Add (gnu system file-systems) to 'modules'. * gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm (raw-initrd): Use (gnu system file-systems). Add 'spec->file-system' call for #:mounts. Ludovic Courtès
2017-02-07linux-container: Add 'container-excursion*'....* gnu/build/linux-container.scm (container-excursion*): New procedure. * tests/containers.scm ("container-excursion*") ("container-excursion*, same namespaces"): New tests. Ludovic Courtès
2017-02-06linux-container: Add comment on exception handling....* gnu/build/linux-container.scm (run-container): Add note about writing the exceptions. Ludovic Courtès
2017-02-06linux-container: Do not rely on 'isatty?'....This avoids problems where 'isatty?' return #t but 'ttyname' fails with ENOTTY or such. * gnu/build/linux-container.scm (mount-file-systems): Remove call of 'isatty?'. Directly call 'ttyname' and catch 'system-error'. Ludovic Courtès
2016-11-10container: Pass a list of <file-system> objects as things to mount....* gnu/build/linux-container.scm (mount-file-systems): 'mounts' is now a list of <file-system> objects instead of a list of lists ("specs"). Add call to 'file-system->spec' as the argument to 'mount-file-system'. (run-container, call-with-container): Adjust docstring accordingly. * gnu/system/file-systems.scm (spec->file-system): New procedure. * gnu/system/linux-container.scm (container-script)[script]: Call 'spec->file-system' inside gexp. * guix/scripts/environment.scm (launch-environment/container): Remove call to 'file-system->spec'. * tests/containers.scm ("call-with-container, mnt namespace") ("call-with-container, mnt namespace, wrong bind mount"): Pass a list of <file-system> objects. Ludovic Courtès
2016-10-19container: Allow 'container-excursion' to the same namespaces....Before that, 'container-excursion' would call 'setns' even when the target namespace is the one the caller is already in, which would fail. * gnu/build/linux-container.scm (container-excursion): Introduce 'source' and 'target'. Compare the result of 'readlink' on these instead of comparing file descriptors to decide whether to call 'setns'. * tests/containers.scm ("container-excursion, same namespace"): New test. Ludovic Courtès
2016-05-31container: Gracefully report mount errors in the child process....Fixes <http://bugs.gnu.org/23306>. * gnu/build/linux-container.scm (run-container): Use 'socketpair' instead of 'pipe'. Rename 'in' to 'child' and 'out' to 'parent'. Send a 'ready message or an exception argument list from the child to the parent; adjust the parent accordingly. * tests/containers.scm ("call-with-container, mnt namespace, wrong bind mount"): New test. * tests/guix-environment-container.sh: Add test with --expose=/does-not-exist. Ludovic Courtès
2016-05-31container: Gracefully handle failure to set up user namespaces....* gnu/build/linux-container.scm (run-container): Exit when the parent process doesn't say 'ready. Ludovic Courtès
2016-01-23build: container: Make 'unprivileged-user-namespace-supported?' more robust....* gnu/build/linux-container.scm (unprivileged-user-namespace-supported?): Only read and check the first character, to cope with a possible newline in the (pseudo-)file. Mark H Weaver
2015-11-03build: container: Add feature test predicates....* gnu/build/linux-container.scm (user-namespace-supported?, unprivileged-user-namespace-supported?, setgroups-supported?): New procedures. * tests/container.scm: Use predicates. * tests/syscalls.scm: Likewise. David Thompson
2015-10-28container: Remove unnecessary CLONE_CHILD_* flags....* gnu/build/linux-container.scm (namespaces->bit-mask): Remove CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID and CLONE_CHILD_SETTID, which are unneeded. Discussed at <http://bugs.gnu.org/21694>. Ludovic Courtès
2015-10-10build: container: Fix call-with-clean-exit....Before, call-with-clean-exit would *always* return an exit code of 1. * gnu/build/linux-container.scm (call-with-clean-exit): Exit with status code of 0 if thunk does not throw an exception. * tests/containers.scm: Add test. David Thompson
2015-09-07build: container: Use the same clone flags as fork(3)....The intent is to make 'clone' behave a lot more like 'primitive-fork', which calls clone(2) with SIGCHLD, CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID, and CLONE_CHILD_SETTID flags. Notably, running 'clone' at the REPL without these flags would break the REPL beyond repair. * guix/build/syscalls.scm (CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID, CLONE_CHILD_SETTID): New variables. * gnu/build/linux-container.scm (namespaces->bit-mask): Add CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID and CLONE_CHILD_SETTID to bit mask. David Thompson
2015-09-07build: container: Setup /dev/console....* gnu/build/linux-container.scm (mount-file-systems): Bind mount the controlling terminal as /dev/console. David Thompson
2015-08-08build: container: Add #:host-uids argument to call-with-container....It's not always possible to map 65536 uids when creating a container as the root user within another user namespace. This is true when building Guix within the build daemon's container. By using a uid range of 1 by default, even as the root user, the tests now pass. * gnu/build/linux-container.scm (initialize-user-namespace, run-container): Add 'host-uids' argument. (call-with-container): Add #:host-uids keyword argument. * tests/containers.scm ("container-excursion"): Update 'run-container' call. David Thompson
2015-07-09gnu: build: Add Linux container module....* gnu/build/linux-container.scm: New file. * gnu-system.am (GNU_SYSTEM_MODULES): Add it. * .dir-locals.el: Add Scheme indent rules for 'call-with-container', and 'container-excursion'. * tests/containers.scm: New file. * Makefile.am (SCM_TESTS): Add it.
