Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure with docker-compose on Red Hat 7.5 and review the SELinux audit.log entries for the rest-server container. Investigate the container image filesystem labels, including /usr/bin/rest-server, /bin/busybox, and /lib/ld-musl-x86_64.so.1. Done means the cause and a verified configuration or labeling fix are documented and the container starts successfully.

Description

help: wanted

After upgrading to latest Redhat 7.5 release I cannot start my restic/rest-server docker container. Seems to be some SE Linux issues. Maybe I'm missing something in my docker setup.

docker-compose up
Starting rest_srv ... done
Attaching to rest_srv
rest_srv | Error relocating /lib/ld-musl-x86_64.so.1: RELRO protection failed: Permission denied
rest_srv | Error relocating /entrypoint.sh: RELRO protection failed: Permission denied
rest_srv exited with code 127

Looks like the restic docker container files need to have container_t context?

Audit2allow gives me this but Not sure how to change context on the docker image filesystem.

module test_rule 1.0;

require {
type unlabeled_t;
type container_t;
class file { execute_no_trans open read };
}

#============= container_t ==============

#!!!! The file '/usr/bin/rest-server' is mislabeled on your system.
#!!!! Fix with $ restorecon -R -v /usr/bin/rest-server
allow container_t unlabeled_t:file execute_no_trans;

#!!!! This avc is allowed in the current policy
allow container_t unlabeled_t:file { open read };
