This one LGTM as well (with the test moved to
guix-environment-container.sh). There’s just a minor issue:

This test would fail for me because my test store is at
~ludo/src/guix/test-tmp/store and my CWD is ~/src/guix. So when using
both --user and --no-cwd, the effect is that
~ludo/src/guix/test-tmp/store is not available at all within the
container, and thus execve("/bin/sh") fails with ENOENT:

Hey, Ludo!

Sorry I've been silent on the script you provided to me---between my GNU
volunteer work and preparing for my LP2018 talk, I've had no free time,
so I haven't even looked at it yet. After the conference I'll have the
time to collaborate a bit more.

Also---I thought the decision was that this patchset was inappropriate
for `guix environment`; did I misinterpret?

I admit that I forgot some of the implementation details of my own
patch; I'd have to look at it in more detail. I'll consider it tonight
or this weekend.

Thanks for taking a look at and applying these. If there are better
solutions, I'm fine with that---I just wanted a proof-of-concept to
start the discussion. Though, starting the discussion and then ducking
out for other obligations wasn't quite what I had in mind...

My initial reaction was that we shouldn’t stretch ‘guix environment’ to
do something that’s unrelated to environment management.

However as I looked at your patches, I found that the additions you made
are useful per se (for instance I’ve been wanting ‘--link-profile’ on a
couple of occasions for reasons like the one you gave, Fontconfig,
etc.). And the patches had tests, documentation, and everything, so it
seemed more beneficial to include them. :-)

Sure. I think the issue of least-authority execution of programs
remains open anway. Do we want a ‘guix run’-like command? Something in
the shell, but which shell(s) then? Automatically-generated wrappers so
we don’t depend on specific shells?

Thanks,
Ludo’.

One thing in particular about using `guix environment --ad-hoc' that is
particularly unfortunate with how I'm abusing it is that it will build
new derivations as necessary (as it is supposed to). So "starting
icecat" in a container isn't just that. I recently upgraded Guix, and
icecat isn't available on Hydra yet, so I'm unable to start icecat at
all until it compiles, which is hours on an X200 (though I'm assuming
that reverting ~/.config/guix/latest might allow me to work around it
temporarily with an old version). This would not have been a problem
with a normal icecat installation in my profile.

Obviously the desirable behavior is to just containerize whatever is in
your profile, if possible. Maybe the script you sent me does just
that. I'm excited to play around with it, I just can't atm. :(

Right. The ‘guix run’ script I sent doesn’t try to build things; it
just takes whatever is in $PATH (which has to be in the store,
ultimately) and runs it.

You still have to explicitly run ‘guix run icecat’, which isn’t great:
if you’re using GNOME Shell and clicking on the icon, you don’t get to
run it in a containerized environment.

Well, I do everything from a shell, so that works for me personally. :)
But yes, what you are describing is important.

But, from a security perspective, I'd like for containerization to be
_guaranteed_, otherwise a malicious script could just subvert it
(e.g. open icecat with an argument to a malicious HTML file). I used
`guix environment` not only because of its container support, but
because that ensured that icecat wasn't in my profile at all to be
invoked by something else.

Currently, I'd have to write a package definition to add a wrapper; that
wouldn't be done automatically for me. But considering a functional
package manager, it'd be an interesting problem to try to get around
that. And you don't want containerized versions of _every_
package---that's some serious bloat. Unless maybe they're packages that
are generated from existing package definitions (in some
yet-to-be-defined manner), and maybe those packages have a special
containerized output (in addition to `out',
e.g. `icecat:container'). (I suppose short-term, such outputs can be
created manually for select packages.)

Just spewing thoughts. I'm still not well-versed in Guix. So maybe
`guix run` is a good starting point and can be used by a wrapper in the
future. It also allows users to containerize something optionally---for
example, maybe a user doesn't want to containerize their PDF reader, but
if they are opening an untrusted PDF, they'll want to. A GNOME context
menu option to say "Open in isolated container" (sorta like Qubes)
sounds attractive.

I was thinking ‘guix package’ could create those wrappers automatically
based on a number of criteria: a package property could request
containerization, command-line options could disable that, and so on.

Yeah, though I very much think least authority would be a better default
than ambient authority. :-)

Yes, I'd much prefer that. That package definition might not be able to
infer certain things, so we'd need to be able to specify e.g. paths to
include in the container. Preferably overridable as well---for example,
I don't share ~/.cache/mozilla/icecat with the container (I want it to
be ephemeral), but other users may prefer to.

I agree for my needs; I suppose we'd need to see what downsides exist
from containerization (if any) that might make the user think
otherwise. If containerization by default is suitable, then there may
be no need to provide a non-container option, so long as the user can
choose paths to share with the container (and network access). This is
sounding more like an AppArmor type of permission system. (Without the
AppArmor, of course.)

I'm not ignoring this; I'll have time to look over the next couple of
weeks. I'll need to research the issue.

Hi Mike and Ludo!

I believe I've found a solution to the problem that Ludo was encountering. The
reason why Ludo was having trouble was because when a user specifies `--user`,
we rewrite the targets of our filesystem mappings so that every instance of
`$HOME` (as seen ouside the container) becomes `/home/$USER`. Since this applied
to all filesystem mappings, it included our filesystem mappings for inputs too.
However, our symlinks were not updated.

My change makes it so that we _only_ update the mappings that are either
user-specified, or cwd (if applicable). This solves Ludo's problems.

Here's the patch, let me know if it looks good:

Cheers,
Carl Dong

Good catch! The patches LGTM. (Note: you can use the ‘Co-authored-by’
tag for the second patch, I think it’s a more or less common
convention.)

Speaking of which, could you create an account on Savannah? That way we
could grant you commit access to make it more convenient for you and so
you can review and apply other people’s patches in your areas of expertise.

Please let me know what your account is, and reply with a message signed
by the key you’ll use to sign commits. Also please read the ‘HACKING’
file for info on the commit “rules”.

Thanks!

Ludo’.

Thank you for picking this up, and sorry again that I wasn't able to
find the time. I'm glad this patch is useful to someone else, and I'm
looking forward to seeing it applied.

Cool, I’ve added you to the Savannah group. You can now push these two
