AppArmor

AppArmor is a mandatory access control mechanism (like SELinux). It can constrain programs based on pre-defined or generated policy definitions.

Void ships with some default profiles for several services, such as dhcpcd and wpa_supplicant. Container runtimes such as LXC and podman integrate with AppArmor for better security for container payloads.

To use AppArmor on a system, one must:

  1. Install the apparmor package.
  2. Set the APPARMOR variable in /etc/default/apparmor to enforce or complain.
  3. Set apparmor=1 security=apparmor on the kernel commandline.

To accomplish the third step, consult the documentation on how to modify the kernel cmdline.
