nova-rootwrap¶
Synopsis¶
nova-rootwrap CONFIG_FILE COMMAND
Description¶
nova-rootwrap is an application that filters which commands nova is allowed to run as another user.
To use this, you should set the following in nova.conf
:
rootwrap_config=/etc/nova/rootwrap.conf
You also need to let the nova user run nova-rootwrap as root in
sudoers
:
nova ALL = (root) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/nova-rootwrap /etc/nova/rootwrap.conf *
To make allowed commands node-specific, your packaging should only install
{compute,network}.filters
respectively on compute and network nodes, i.e.
nova-api nodes should not have any of those files installed.
Note
nova-rootwrap is being slowly deprecated and replaced by
oslo.privsep
, and will eventually be removed.
