I've recently tried running some quick Docker commands using host's directory as a volume:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
docker run -i -t -v `pwd`:/mnt debian:jessie bash -c "ls -hal /mnt"
|
|
ls: cannot open directory /mnt: Permission denied
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
I use Fedora as my main OS, which, it turns out, has some pretty nice SELinux settings. These deny access from inside the container to the outside.
|
|
Said Fedora consists mostly of almost-newest-but-stable everything though, which makes Docker to be in a fairly recent version.
|
|
A version that understands how to change a SELinux context for the directory we're mounting, by itself !
|
|
You need at least Docker v1.7 for this.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
docker run -i -t -v `pwd`:/mnt:Z debian:jessie bash -c "ls -hal /mnt"
|
|
total 8.0K
|
|
drwxrwxr-x. 2 1000 1000 4.0K Dec 30 18:34 .
|
|
drwxr-xr-x. 21 root root 242 Dec 30 19:07 ..
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Please note the capital `Z` as a mount parameter.
|
|
And that is it. Mostly. Some cleanup remains, as docker leaves the host's directory with a changed SELinux context.
|
|
To restore it you need to
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
restorecon -R `pwd`
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or use any other path you'd like instead of `pwd` in the examples above.

Happy dockering !
