[00:58] I was wondering if you could help me out with the qemu-kvm setup. I'm trying to help my friend with his ubuntu hypervisor. He currently has libvirt running to implement qemu-system [00:58] I connected to qemu:///session it did not work, when I did qemu+ssh I got access denied, added myself to libvirtd, it worked but I got qemu system access [00:58] instead of qemu session [00:59] and it gave me access to qemu system which has root privs [00:59] how do I properly use qemu usermode?

[20:39] you want software only course? [20:39] it's not a hardware focused course. [20:39] it's linux operating systems [20:40] software raid + lvm is also usefull , and they need to grasp the lvm concept [20:40] like I installed unbuntu-server [20:40] and you can do the course with commodity hardware [20:42] Im one of the 'they' I'm a student looking for ideas on my final project that I get to pick.

[20:59] is there something specific in security that you might think would be good to know more in depth? [20:59] i tryed commenting out the line lxc.aa_profile in /var/lib/lxc/container_a/config with no luck [21:01] roles base access c..thing rbac [21:01] see apparmor [21:01] nobody ever use configure this kinds of stuff however [21:02] i didnt wanted to disable the profile, i been searching but i dont quite get it how to configure that "mount" [21:02] but it s the only real way i ve found to get a secure system [21:02] they just disable ? ... lack of security feature imo ... right? [21:03] basically you start apparmor in profiling mode , run the system and makes it do all thge stuff it usually does [21:03] then put the profile in enforce mode , and after that it can only do the things it could do while in profile mode [21:04] and then i commit the changes [21:04] yeah i see where your going to [21:04] xsl, not speaking to you :) [21:04] its easyer than writing myself the profile [21:04] but you might learn as well [21:04] your not? ... but seems like the solution to my problem [21:04] xsl, yhea it maybe it [21:05] xsl, in fact afterward you slightly edit the profile and put * in some places , like for a cookie folder [21:06] else it wouldn t be able to create cookie-zer3zer41ze5rzer4.txt if this wasn t created during the profiling step [21:06] but then that s only if you re creating your own profiles [21:07] else it may means you re encountering a bug of some kind that you should report , or need an update cause it s already fixed [21:08] xsl, ?

[21:12] my goal is not rly virtualization [21:12] its more like the jails in freebsd feeling i want [21:12] chroot ? [21:12] chroot not that good as lxc imo [21:12] cannot define mem limits and such [21:12] you want really a loot of differt process in their own containers? [21:13] a lot of [21:13] 1 container just for mysql 1 container just for php 1 container just nginx [21:13] something like that [21:13] would be me it d all go ina single vm [21:14] call me paranoid :D [21:14] and not a chroot or jail , but a full vm [21:14] so your desktop upgrade won t break your carefully crafed vm config for php and nginx [21:15] and you can snapshoot and rollback dureing devellopement [21:15] its a server [21:15] and i can snapshot LVM [21:15] not the same thing [21:18] well anyhow if you know lxc use that, and fix the apparmor issue [21:18] if it s single process completely isolated it s not that bad to turn off apparmor i guess [21:19] else report the bug to ubuntu or fix it yourself by doing the profile and enforcing it [21:20] i think its an initscripts problem [21:20] i can start the container manually [21:20] only the startup of the server fails [21:33] orogor: I think I have a idea of my topic.
