=head1 NAME
Sys::Linux::Namespace - A Module for setting up linux namespaces
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Sys::Linux::Namespace;
# Create a namespace with a private /tmp
my $ns1 = Sys::Linux::Namespace->new(private_tmp => 1);
$ns1->setup(code => sub {
# This code has it's own completely private /tmp filesystem
open(my $fh, "</tmp/private");
print $fh "Hello Void";
});
# The private /tmp has been destroyed and we're back to our previous state
# Let's do it again, but this time with a private PID space too
my $ns2 = Sys::Linux::Namespace->new(private_tmp => 1, private_pid => 1);
$ns2->setup(code => sub {
# I will only see PID 1. I can fork anything I want and they will only see me
# if I die they die too.
use Data::Dumper;
print Dumper([glob "/proc/*"]);
});
# We're back to our previous global /tmp and PID namespace
# all processes and private filesystems have been removed
# Now let's set up a private /tmp
$ns1->setup();
# We're now permanently (for this process) using a private /tmp.
=head1 REQUIREMENTS
This module requires your script to either have CAP_SYS_ADMIN, usually by running as C<root>. Without that it will fail to setup the namespaces and cause your program to exit.
=head1 METHODS
=over 1
=item C<new>
Construct a new Sys::Linux::Namespace object. This collects all the options you want to enable, but does not engage them.
=item C<setup>
Engage the namespaces. Without a C<code> parameter it will alter the current process and place it whatever namespaces are configured.
If called with a C<code> parameter, it will run the coderef in the namespace with a child process.
This method also accepts an overriding C<code> parameter so you can run multiple coderefs in a configured namespace without creating new objects.
=back
=head1 OPTIONS
=over 1
=item C<private_mount>
Setup a private mount namespace, this makes every currently mounted filesystem private to our process.
This means we can unmount and mount new filesystems without other processes seeing the mounts.
=item C<private_tmp>
Sets up the private mount namespace as above, but also automatically sets up /tmp to be a clean private tmpfs mount.
Takes either a true value, or a hashref with options to pass to the mount syscall. See C<man 8 mount> for a list of possible options.
=item C<private_pid>
Create a private PID namespace. This requires a C<code> parameter either to C<new()> or to C<setup()>
=item C<private_net>
TODO This is not yet implemented. Once done however, it will allow a child process to execute with a private network preventing communication. Will require a C<code> parameter to C<new()> or C<setup>.
