Pi-hole on Fedora has issues with SELinux

@jaredbusch said in Pi-hole on Fedora has issues with SELinux:

I meant to look into this last month when I set it up at a client and I forgot.

I'll post the things to update here in a bit. Unless someone else already has them handy.

Hrm, I forget what I did with mine. I don't remember having any problems with it, but that might have been included in the installation notes I used. I'll see if I can't track those down.

I'm using Fedora that is provided by Vultr.
I have 30 alerts and I would need to generate a local policy module and use the setsebool command to fix them.

travisdh1

I think I found the command used to fix things.

chcon -v --type=dnsmasq_var_log_t /var/log/pihole.log

That was the only thing sitting in my command history at least. Wish I could remember where I found it.

Has to be. I jsut ran that to fix the context, rebooted, and I cannot access the admin interface yet.

Yup.

SELinux is preventing lighttpd from map access on the file /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that lighttpd should be allowed map access on the lighttpd.conf file by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# ausearch -c 'lighttpd' --raw | audit2allow -M my-lighttpd
# semodule -X 300 -i my-lighttpd.pp

All I did was set /var/www/html/admin to httpd_sys_content_t

And set /var/log/pi-hole.log to dnsmasq_var_log_t.

While I can run that command, I do not want to. I would prefer to find the right thing I need to change because there is no reason to install all the SELinux tools on an instance just to set a permission.

tried to load the admin page and it added some more.

SELinux is preventing sudo from using the sys_resource capability.

*****  Plugin sys_resource (37.5 confidence) suggests   **********************

If you do not want processes to require capabilities to use up all the system resources on your system;
Then you need to diagnose why your system is running out of system resources and fix the problem.

According to /usr/include/linux/capability.h, sys_resource is required to:

/* Override resource limits. Set resource limits. */
/* Override quota limits. */
/* Override reserved space on ext2 filesystem */
/* Modify data journaling mode on ext3 filesystem (uses journaling
   resources) */
/* NOTE: ext2 honors fsuid when checking for resource overrides, so
   you can override using fsuid too */
/* Override size restrictions on IPC message queues */
/* Allow more than 64hz interrupts from the real-time clock */
/* Override max number of consoles on console allocation */
/* Override max number of keymaps */

Do
fix the cause of the SYS_RESOURCE on your system.

The two things you did make it run on reboot, just no access to the GUI.
I suspect just the log permission change lets the app itself run.

Yes. I didnt' look at the gui afterwards. Just noticed it was actually able to run and allowed me to get to the admin interface.

Why not permanently set SELinux to permissive instead of using Debian?
