Subject: [RFC 11/12] add support for fully rootless builds
Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2026 12:58:26 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260218115827.3947145-12-felix.moessbauer@siemens.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260218115827.3947145-1-felix.moessbauer@siemens.com>
Currently isar requires passwordless sudo and an environment
where mounting file systems is possible. This has proven problematic
for security reasons, both when running in a privileged container or
locally.
To solve this, we implement fully rootless builds that rely on the
unshare syscall which allows us to avoid sudo and instead operate in
temporary kernel namespaces as a user that is just privileged within
that namespace. This comes with some challenges regarding the handling
of mounts (they are cleared when leaving the namespace), as well as
cross namespace deployments (the outer user might not be able to access
the inner data). For that, we rework the handling of mounts and artifact
passing to make it compatible with both chroot modes (schroot and
unshare).

Conversion commands need to follow this strategy as well, but can read the image
(prior to conversion) from `${IMAGE_FILE_CHROOT}`.
+
+### Rootless isar execution
+
+Isar is able to run without the need for `sudo` in an environment that
+allows unprivileged users to unshare the kernels `user namespace`. Further,
+a sufficiently large set of sub ids needs to be configured in `/etc/subuid` / `etc/subgid`.
+This range should be `> 65536`, but smaller ranges might work as well, depending on the
+ids used in the rootfs.
+
+A simple check if rootless is supported can be done by running:
+
+```bash
+mmdebstrap --unshare-helper /bin/echo "rootless supported" || echo "rootless not supported"
+```
+
+On many systems, setting the following settings is sufficent, but no general guidance
+can be provided.
+
+```bash
+echo 0 | sudo tee -a /proc/sys/kernel/apparmor_restrict_unprivileged_userns
+echo 1 | sudo tee -a /proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_userns_clone
+```
+
+To enable rootless builds, set the bitbake variable `ISAR_ROOTLESS = "1"`.
+This internally switches the chroot mode from `schroot` to `unshare`.
+
+When using kas, the `build_system` needs to be set to `isar-rootless`, but the final
+interfaces still need to be clarified. Further, kas patches are needed (for details,
+check the kas mailing list).
