Subject: bug#62487: guix-daemon fails on SELinux/systemd distros
Date: Mon, 27 Mar 2023 18:16:45 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87a5zygoeq.fsf@inria.fr> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2251 bytes --]
Hello!
Running guix-daemon on an SELinux distro is difficult and sparsely
documented (info "(guix) SELinux Support"). On-line fora are full of
questions on this topic and sometimes random advice.
I thought we could improve on that by having ‘guix-install.sh’ take care
of most things dynamically and documenting any remaining bits with
copy/pastable snippets.
The attached patch does 90% of the job! I tested it on the Rocky Linux 9
live image available at:
https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/9/live/x86_64/Rocky-9-Workstation-Lite-x86_64-latest.iso
The missing 10% related to the ‘gnu-store.mount’ job: guix-daemon fails
to remount it read-write:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
# guix build hello
guix build: error: remounting /gnu/store writable: Permission denied
# ausearch -c guix-daemon | tail

It works fine (as in: ‘guix build hello’ succeeds) if I ‘systemctl stop
guix-daemon.service’ and instead run:
guix-daemon --build-users-group=guixbuild
in the terminal.
Could it be a systemd feature at play here?
As a stopgap, we could change ‘guix-install.sh’ to not install
‘gnu-store.mount’ on SELinux systems.
Thoughts?
Ludo’.
