Hi Everyone, I need a little help in determining the proper SELinux context for data files served by Nginx. SELinux is in enforcing mode. The web server static pages are at /var/www/html (for historic reasons). The data files are in the filesystem in /var, but at /var/ftc-data. There's also a soft symlink at /var/www/html/ftc-data that points to /var/ftc-data. /var/www/html is working as expected, but I am getting a 403 on the data files and the data file directory. I.e., I get a 403 on http://www.example.com/ftc-data, even though the directory is ugo+x. The filesystem topology of interest is: +------+ | /var | +------+ / \ / \ / \ www ftc-data / |+ file1.dat / |+ file2.dat / |+ file3.dat html |+ index.html |+ symlink to ftc-data /var/www and /var/www/html have system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0. The web server is serving the static html files Ok. /var/ftc-data has unconfined_u:object_r:var_t:s0. I am not thrilled about unconfined_u, and I am pretty sure var_t should be httpd_sys_content_t. The last wrinkle is, the data files get updated once a day using a systemd timer. So systemd needs write access to /var/ftc-data. Would someone help me understand what SELinux context should be for /var/ftc-data, please? Thanks in advance. -- _______________________________________________ selinux mailing list -- selinux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to selinux-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/selinux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
