# RootlessKit: the gate to the rootless world
RootlessKit is a kind of Linux-native "fake root" utility, made for mainly running [Docker and Kubernetes as an unprivileged user](https://github.com/rootless-containers/usernetes), so as to protect the real root on the host from potential container-breakout attacks.

## What it actually does
RootlessKit creates [`user_namespaces(7)`](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/user_namespaces.7.html) and [`mount_namespaces(7)`](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/mount_namespaces.7.html), and executes [`newuidmap(1)`](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/newuidmap.1.html)/[`newgidmap(1)`](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/newgidmap.1.html) along with [`subuid(5)`](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/subuid.5.html) and [`subgid(5)`](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/subgid.5.html).
RootlessKit also supports isolating [`network_namespaces(7)`](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/network_namespaces.7.html) with userspace NAT using ["slirp"](#network-drivers).
Kernel NAT using SUID-enabled [`lxc-user-nic(1)`](https://linuxcontainers.org/lxc/manpages/man1/lxc-user-nic.1.html) is also experimentally supported.
## Projects using RootlessKit
* [Docker/Moby](https://get.docker.com/rootless)
* [Usernetes](https://github.com/rootless-containers/usernetes): Docker & Kubernetes, installable under a non-root user's `$HOME`.
* [k3s](https://k3s.io/): Lightweight Kubernetes
* [BuildKit](https://github.com/moby/buildkit): Next-generation `docker build` backend
## Setup
```console
$ go get github.com/rootless-containers/rootlesskit/cmd/rootlesskit
$ go get github.com/rootless-containers/rootlesskit/cmd/rootlessctl
```
or just run `make` to make binaries under `./bin` directory.
### Requirements
* `newuidmap` and `newgidmap` need to be installed on the host. These commands are provided by the `uidmap` package on most distributions.
* `/etc/subuid` and `/etc/subgid` should contain more than 65536 sub-IDs. e.g. `penguin:231072:65536`. These files are automatically configured on most distributions.
```console
$ id -u
1001
$ whoami
penguin
$ grep "^$(whoami):" /etc/subuid
penguin:231072:65536
$ grep "^$(whoami):" /etc/subgid
penguin:231072:65536
```
#### Distribution-specific hints
Debian (excluding Ubuntu):
* `sudo sh -c "echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_userns_clone"` is required
Arch Linux:
* `sudo sh -c "echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_userns_clone"` is required
RHEL/CentOS 7:
* `sudo sh -c "echo 28633 > /proc/sys/user/max_user_namespaces"` is required
* [COPR package `vbatts/shadow-utils-newxidmap`](https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/vbatts/shadow-utils-newxidmap/) needs to be installed
## Usage
Inside `rootlesskit`, your UID is mapped to 0 but it is not the real root:
```console
$ rootlesskit bash
rootlesskit$ id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),65534(nogroup)
rootlesskit$ ls -l /etc/shadow
-rw-r----- 1 nobody nogroup 1050 Aug 21 19:02 /etc/shadow
rootlesskit$ $ cat /etc/shadow
cat: /etc/shadow: Permission denied
```
Environment variables are kept untouched:
```console
$ rootlesskit bash
rootlesskit$ echo $USER
penguin
rootlesskit$ echo $HOME
/home/penguin
rootlesskit$ echo $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
/run/user/1001
```
Filesystems can be isolated from the host with `--copy-up`:
```console
$ rootlesskit --copy-up=/etc bash
rootlesskit$ rm /etc/resolv.conf
rootlesskit$ vi /etc/resolv.conf
```
You can even create network namespaces with [Slirp](#network-drivers):
```console
$ rootlesskit --copy-up=/etc --copy-up=/run --net=slirp4netns --disable-host-loopback bash
rootlesskit$ ip netns add foo
...
```
Proc filesystem view:
```console
$ rootlesskit bash
rootlesskit$ cat /proc/self/uid_map
0 1001 1
1 231072 65536
rootlesskit$ cat /proc/self/gid_map
0 1001 1
1 231072 65536
rootlesskit$ cat /proc/self/setgroups
allow
```

## State directory
The following files will be created in the state directory, which can be specified with `--state-dir`:
* `lock`: lock file
* `child_pid`: decimal PID text that can be used for `nsenter(1)`.
* `api.sock`: REST API socket for `rootlessctl`. See [Port Drivers](#port-drivers) section.
If `--state-dir` is not specified, RootlessKit creates a temporary state directory on `/tmp` and removes it on exit.
Undocumented files are subject to change.
## Environment variables
The following environment variables will be set for the child process:
* `ROOTLESSKIT_STATE_DIR` (since v0.3.0): absolute path to the state dir
Undocumented environment variables are subject to change.
## Network Drivers
RootlessKit provides several drivers for providing network connectivity:
* `--net=host`: use host network namespace (default)
* `--net=slirp4netns`: use [slirp4netns](https://github.com/rootless-containers/slirp4netns) (recommended)
* `--net=vpnkit`: use [VPNKit](https://github.com/moby/vpnkit)
* `--net=lxc-user-nic`: use `lxc-user-nic` (experimental)
* `--net=vdeplug_slirp`: use [vdeplug_slirp](https://github.com/rd235/vdeplug_slirp) (deprecated)
[Benchmark (Aug 28, 2018)](https://github.com/rootless-containers/rootlesskit/pull/16):
| Implementation | MTU=1500 | MTU=4000 | MTU=16384 | MTU=65520
|---------------------------------|------------|-------------|-------------|------------
|(rootful veth) |(52.1 Gbps) | (45.4 Gbps) | (43.6 Gbps )| (51.5 Gbps)
|`rootlesskit --net=slirp4netns` | 1.07 Gbps | 2.78 Gbps | 4.55 Gbps | 9.21 Gbps
|`rootlesskit --net=vpnKit` | 514 Mbps | 526 Mbps | 540 Mbps |(Unsupported)
|`rootlesskit --net=vdeplug_slirp`| 763 Mbps |(Unsupported)|(Unsupported)|(Unsupported)
|
`--net=lxc-user-nic` is as fast as rootful veth.
### `--net=host` (default)
`--net=host` does not isolate the network namespace from the host.
Pros:
* No performance overhead
* Supports ICMP Echo (`ping`) when `/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ping_group_range` is configured
Cons:
* No permission for network-namespaced operations, e.g. creating iptables rules, running `tcpdump`
To route ICMP Echo packets (`ping`), you need to write the range of GIDs to [`net.ipv4.ping_group_range`](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/icmp.7.html).
```console
$ sudo sh -c "echo 0 2147483647 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ping_group_range"
```
### `--net=slirp4netns` (recommended)
`--net=slirp4netns` isolates the network namespace from the host and launch [slirp4netns](https://github.com/rootless-containers/slirp4netns) for providing usermode networking.
Pros:
* Possible to perform network-namespaced operations, e.g. creating iptables rules, running `tcpdump`
* Supports ICMP Echo (`ping`) when `/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ping_group_range` is configured
Cons:
* Extra performance overhead (but still faster than `--net=vpnkit`)
* Supports only TCP, UDP, and ICMP Echo packets
To use `--net=slirp4netns`, you need to install slirp4netns.
v0.3.0 or later is recommended.
```console
$ sudo dnf install slirp4netns
```
or
```console
$ sudo apt-get install slirp4netns
```
If binary package is not available for your distribution, install from the source:
```console
$ git clone https://github.com/rootless-containers/slirp4netns
$ cd slirp4netns
$ ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make
$ cp slirp4netns ~/bin
```
The network is configured as follows by default:
* IP: 10.0.2.100/24
* Gateway: 10.0.2.2
* DNS: 10.0.2.3
The network configuration can be changed by specifying custom CIDR, e.g. `--cidr=10.0.3.0/24` (requires slirp4netns v0.3.0+).
Specifying `--copy-up=/etc` is highly recommended unless `/etc/resolv.conf` on the host is statically configured. Otherwise `/etc/resolv.conf` in the RootlessKit's mount namespace will be unmounted when `/etc/resolv.conf` on the host is recreated, typically by NetworkManager or systemd-resolved.
It is also highly recommended to specyfy`--disable-host-loopback`. Otherwise ports listening on 127.0.0.1 in the host are accessible as 10.0.2.2 in the RootlessKit's network namespace.
Example session:
```console
$ rootlesskit --net=slirp4netns --copy-up=/etc --disable-host-loopback bash
rootlesskit$ ip a
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000

rootlesskit$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 10.0.2.3
rootlesskit$ curl https://www.google.com
<!doctype html><html ...>...</html>
```
### `--net=vpnkit`
`--net=vpnkit` isolates the network namespace from the host and launch [VPNKit](https://github.com/moby/vpnkit) for providing usermode networking.
Pros:
* Possible to perform network-namespaced operations, e.g. creating iptables rules, running `tcpdump`
Cons:
* Extra performance overhead
* Supports only TCP and UDP packets. No support for ICMP Echo (`ping`) unlike `--net=slirp4netns`, even if `/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ping_group_range` is configured.
To use `--net=vpnkit`, you need to install VPNkit.
```console
$ git clone https://github.com/moby/vpnkit.git
$ cd vpnkit
$ make
$ cp vpnkit.exe ~/bin/vpnkit
```
The network is configured as follows by default:
* IP: 192.168.65.3/24
* Gateway: 192.168.65.1
* DNS: 192.168.65.1
As in `--net=slirp4netns`, specifying `--copy-up=/etc` and `--disable-host-loopback` is highly recommended.
If `--disable-host-loopback` is not specified, ports listening on 127.0.0.1 in the host are accessible as 192.168.65.2 in the RootlessKit's network namespace.
### `--net=lxc-user-nic` (experimental)
`--net=lxc-user-nic` isolates the network namespace from the host and launch [`lxc-user-nic(1)`](https://linuxcontainers.org/lxc/manpages/man1/lxc-user-nic.1.html) SUID binary for providing kernel-mode NAT.
Pros:
* No performance overhead
* Possible to perform network-namespaced operations, e.g. creating iptables rules, running `tcpdump`
* Supports ICMP Echo (`ping`) without `/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ping_group_range` configuration
Cons:
* Less secure
* Needs `/etc/lxc/lxc-usernet` configuration
To use `lxc-user-nic`, you need to install `liblxc-common` package:
```console
$ sudo apt-get install liblxc-common
```
You also need to set up [`/etc/lxc/lxc-usernet`](https://linuxcontainers.org/lxc/manpages/man5/lxc-usernet.5.html):
```
# USERNAME TYPE BRIDGE COUNT
penguin veth lxcbr0 1
```
The `COUNT` value needs to be increased to run multiple RootlessKit instances with `--net=lxc-user-nic` simultaneously.
It may take a few seconds to configure the interface using DHCP.
If you start and stop RootlessKit too frequently, you might use up all available DHCP addresses.
You might need to reset `/var/lib/misc/dnsmasq.lxcbr0.leases` and restart the `lxc-net` service.
Currently, the MAC address is always set to a random address.
## Port Drivers
`rootlessctl` can be used for exposing the ports in the network namespace to the host network namespace.
You also need to launch `rootlesskit` with `--port-driver=(socat|slirp4netns|builtin)`. `builtin` is the fastest but currently experimental.
For example, to expose 80 in the child as 8080 in the parent:
```console
$ rootlesskit --state-dir=/run/user/1001/rootlesskit/foo --net=slirp4netns --disable-host-loopback --copy-up=/etc --port-driver=builtin bash
rootlesskit$ rootlessctl --socket=/run/user/1001/rootlesskit/foo/api.sock add-ports 0.0.0.0:8080:80/tcp
1
rootlesskit$ rootlessctl --socket=/run/user/1001/rootlesskit/foo/api.sock list-ports
ID PROTO PARENTIP PARENTPORT CHILDPORT
1 tcp 0.0.0.0 8080 80
rootlesskit$ rootlessctl --socket=/run/user/1001/rootlesskit/foo/api.sock remove-ports 1
1
```
You can also expose ports using `socat` and `nsenter` instead of RootlessKit's port drivers.
```console
$ pid=$(cat /run/user/1001/rootlesskit/foo/child_pid)
$ socat -t -- TCP-LISTEN:8080,reuseaddr,fork EXEC:"nsenter -U -n -t $pid socat -t -- STDIN TCP4\:127.0.0.1\:80"
```
