Additionally, the following commands are specific to container\-shell: +.PP +\fBabout:\fR +.RS 4 +shows introduction (manpage)\&. +.RE +.PP +\fBhelp:\fR +.RS 4 +shows available commands within the container\-shell\&. +.RE +.PP +\fBhelp COMMAND:\fR +.RS 4 +shows help (manpage) for a specific container command\&. +.RE +.PP +\fBlogout\fR, \fBexit:\fR +.RS 4 +exits container\-shell\&. +.RE +.SH "USAGE" +.sp +Although the container\-shell can be started from a running system like any other program, the main intend is to use the container\-shell via SSH\&. That way otherwise unprivileged users have possibility to manage containers without needing a regular shell login on the container server\&. +.sp +For usage over SSH a unprivileged user should be created: +.sp +.if n \{\ +.RS 4 +.\} +.nf +sudo adduser \-\-gecos "container\-tools,,," \e + \-\-home /var/lib/container\-tools/container\-shell \e + \-\-shell /usr/bin/container\-shell +.fi +.if n \{\ +.RE +.\} +.sp +The container\-shell can then be allowed for specific SSH keys via /var/ib/container\-tools/container\-shell/\&.ssh/authorized_keys like so: +.sp +.if n \{\ +.RS 4 +.\} +.nf +command="/usr/bin/container\-shell",no\-port\-forwarding,no\-X11\-forwarding,no\-agent\-forwarding,no\-pty ssh\-rsa [\&.\&.\&.] +.fi +.if n \{\ +.RE +.\} +.SH "RESTRICTED SHELL" +.sp +The container\-shell by default grants any user that has access to it to use all available container commands\&. +.sp +Through two corresponding environment variables users can be allowed or disallowed to use specific container commands\&. In connection with SSH this makes it possible to grant certain SSH keys (and by that, users) privileges to operate container servers without having to give them root access, a login shell at all and prevents them from doing things they are not trusted to do\&. +.sp +Example (blacklisting): In order to allow all commands except for removing and stopping containers, the following variable can be used: +.sp +.if n \{\ +.RS 4 +.\} +.nf +command="CONTAINER_COMMANDS_DISABLE=\*(Aqremove stop\*(Aq /usr/bin/container\-shell",no\-port\-forwarding,no\-X11\-forwarding,no\-agent\-forwarding,no\-pty ssh\-rsa [\&.\&.\&.] +.fi +.if n \{\ +.RE +.\} +.sp +Example (whitelisting): The other way around works too\&. To disallow all commands except for listing containers and showing the container\-tools version, the following variable can be used: +.sp +.if n \{\ +.RS 4 +.\} +.nf +command="CONTAINER_COMMANDS_ENABLE=\*(Aqlist version\*(Aq /usr/bin/container\-shell",no\-port\-forwarding,no\-X11\-forwarding,no\-agent\-forwarding,no\-pty ssh\-rsa [\&.\&.\&.] +.fi +.if n \{\ +.RE +.\} +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.sp +machinectl(1), systemd\-nspawn(1)\&. +.SH "HOMEPAGE" +.sp +More information about container\-tools and the Open Infrastructure project can be found on the homepage at https://open\-infrastructure\&.net\&. +.SH "CONTACT" +.sp +Bug reports, feature requests, help, patches, support and everything else are welcome on the Open Infrastructure Software Mailing List <software@lists\&.open\-infrastructure\&.net>\&. +.sp +Debian specific bugs can also be reported in the Debian Bug Tracking System at https://bugs\&.debian\&.org\&. +.SH "AUTHORS" +.sp +container\-tools was written by Daniel Baumann <daniel\&.baumann@open\-infrastructure\&.net>\&. |
