[SOLVED] Access to docker.socket using SELinux in FCOS

Access to docker.socket using SELinux in FCOS

Intro

Greetings,

Since a week I'm trying to setup a FCOS (Fedora CoreOS) and running a Docker Swarm along with SELinux (this is my first experience with SELinux)

Containers is running great but when I'm trying to use the /var/run/docker.socket I'm always getting permission denied

portainer_agent.0.k9c6uqifwohk@localhost    | 2020/03/14 13:24:11 [ERROR] [main,docker] [message: Unable to retrieve information from Docker] [error: Got permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock: Get http://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fdocker.sock/v1.24/info: dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: connect: permission denied]

I've already tried to disable SELinux (setenforce 0) to ensure the problem comes from SELinux,

Info

docker.socket

srw-rw----. 1 root docker system_u:object_r:container_var_run_t:s0 0 Mar 14 13:14 /var/run/docker.sock

Here a docker-compose.yaml I'm using for my tests

version: '3.2'

services:
  agent:
    image: portainer/agent
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:z      
      - /var/lib/docker/volumes:/var/lib/docker/volumes:z
    networks:
      - agent_network
    deploy:
      mode: global
      placement:
        constraints: [node.platform.os == linux]


networks:
  agent_network:
    driver: overlay
    attachable: true

Thanks for you help!

Solution

I've finally succeeded, using dockersock.te from this GitHub

Here the function I use in my installation script:

function fix_socket_permission()
{
    echo "Downloading docker socket policy"
    sudo rpm-ostree install policycoreutils-python-utils
    echo "Need reboot"
    # need to reboot

    curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dpw/selinux-dockersock/master/dockersock.te -o /tmp/dockersock.te

    echo "Applying policy to system"
    checkmodule -M -m -o dockersock.mod /tmp/dockersock.te
    semodule_package -o dockersock.pp -m dockersock.mod
    sudo semodule -i dockersock.pp
    rm -rf /tmp/dockersock.te
}
