Additionally, the follow *logout*, *exit:*:: exits container-shell. +USAGE +----- +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. + +For usage over SSH a unprivileged user should be created: + + sudo adduser --gecos "container-tools,,," \ + --home /var/lib/container-tools/container-shell \ + --shell /usr/bin/container-shell + +The container-shell can then be allowed for specific SSH keys via /var/ib/container-tools/container-shell/.ssh/authorized_keys like so: + + command="/usr/bin/container-shell",no-port-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding,no-agent-forwarding,no-pty ssh-rsa [...] + + +RESTRICTED SHELL +---------------- +The container-shell by default grants any user that has access to it to use all available container commands. + +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. + +Example (blacklisting): In order to allow all commands except for removing and stopping containers, the following variable can be used: + + command="CONTAINER_COMMANDS_DISABLE='remove stop' /usr/bin/container-shell",no-port-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding,no-agent-forwarding,no-pty ssh-rsa [...] + +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: + + command="CONTAINER_COMMANDS_ENABLE='list version' /usr/bin/container-shell",no-port-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding,no-agent-forwarding,no-pty ssh-rsa [...] + SEE ALSO -------- diff --git a/share/man/container-top.1.txt b/share/man/container-top.1.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..5cc2a0a --- /dev/null +++ b/share/man/container-top.1.txt @@ -0,0 +1,75 @@ +// container-tools - Manage systemd-nspawn containers +// Copyright (C) 2014-2017 Daniel Baumann <daniel.baumann@open-infrastructure.net> +// +// This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify +// it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by +// the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or +// (at your option) any later version. +// +// This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, +// but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of +// MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
