Overview

Package sandboxuser decides which user sandbox processes run as and the mode of session directories that follows from it. It has no platform-specific dependencies so every binary that talks to Docker can import it.

Functions

func DirMode

func DirMode() os.FileMode

DirMode is the mode for session directories: 0o700 when the sandbox user owns them, otherwise 0o777 so a differently-numbered sandbox user (e.g. "nobody", UID 65534) can write. In the 0o777 case the parent WORKSPACE_BASE_DIR is created 0o700 so other host users cannot reach the session directories.

func PrivateDirs

func PrivateDirs() bool

PrivateDirs reports whether session directories are owned by the sandbox user and can therefore be created owner-only.

func User

func User() string

User returns the user ("uid:gid" or a name) sandbox processes run as.

By default sandboxes run as the same uid:gid as the API process. They then own the bind-mounted session directory, which can stay 0o700. If the API runs as root (not the Compose default) there is no private uid to share, so the legacy "nobody" user is used together with world-writable (0o777) session directories. SANDBOX_USER overrides the choice; any value other than the API's own uid:gid keeps the 0o777 directories because the user cannot be assumed to own them.
