<title>Description</title>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<para><command>systemd-nsresourced</command> is a system service that permits transient delegation of a a
|
||
|
|
UID/GID range to a user namespace (see <citerefentry
|
||
|
|
project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>user_namespaces</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>)
|
||
|
|
allocated by a client, via a Varlink IPC API.</para>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<para>Unprivileged clients may allocate a user namespace, and then request a UID/GID range to be assigned
|
||
|
|
to it via this service. The user namespace may then be used to run containers and other sandboxes, and/or
|
||
|
|
apply it to an id-mapped mount.</para>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<para>Allocations of UIDs/GIDs this way are transient: when a user namespace goes away, its UID/GID range
|
||
|
|
is returned to the pool of available ranges. In order to ensure that clients cannot gain persistency in
|
||
|
|
their transient UID/GID range a BPF-LSM based policy is enforced that ensures that user namespaces set up
|
||
|
|
this way can only write to file systems they allocate themselves or that are explicitly allowlisted via
|
||
|
|
<command>systemd-nsresourced</command>.</para>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<para><command>systemd-nsresourced</command> automatically ensures that any registered UID ranges show up
|
||
|
|
in the system's NSS database via the <ulink url="https://systemd.io/USER_GROUP_API">User/Group Record
|
||
|
|
Lookup API via Varlink</ulink>.</para>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<para>Currently, only UID/GID ranges consisting of either exactly 1 or exactly 65536 UIDs/GIDs can be
|
||
|
|
registered with this service. Moreover, UIDs and GIDs are always allocated together, and
|
||
|
|
symmetrically.</para>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<para>The service provides API calls to allowlist mounts (referenced via their mount file descriptors as
|
||
|
|
per Linux <function>fsmount()</function> API), to pass ownership of a cgroup subtree to the user
|
||
|
|
namespace and to delegate a virtual Ethernet device pair to the user namespace. When used in combination
|
||
|
|
this is sufficient to implement fully unprivileged container environments, as implemented by
|
||
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-nspawn</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>, fully
|
||
|
|
unprivileged <varname>RootImage=</varname> (see
|
||
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>) or
|
||
|
|
fully unprivileged disk image tools such as
|
||
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-dissect</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<para>This service provides one <ulink url="https://varlink.org/">Varlink</ulink> service:
|
||
|
|
<constant>io.systemd.NamespaceResource</constant> allows registering user namespaces, and assign mounts,
|
||
|
|
cgroups and network interfaces to it.</para>
