Fortify
|
|
=======
|
|

[](https://pkg.go.dev/git.ophivana.moe/cat/fortify)
|
|
|
|
Lets you run graphical applications as another user in a confined environment with a nice NixOS
|
|
module to configure target users and provide launchers and desktop files for your privileged user.
|
|
|
|
Why would you want this?
|
|
|
|
- It protects the desktop environment from applications.
|
|
|
|
- It protects applications from each other.
|
|
|
|
- It provides UID isolation on top of the standard application sandbox.
|
|
|
|
There are a few different things to set up for this to work:
|
|
|
|
- A set of users, each for a group of applications that should be allowed access to each other
|
|
|
|
- A tool to switch users, currently sudo and machinectl are supported.
|
|
|
|
- If you are running NixOS, the module in this repository can take care of launchers and desktop files in the privileged
|
|
user's environment, as well as packages and extra home-manager configuration for target users.
|
|
|
|
If you have a flakes-enabled nix environment, you can try out the tool by running:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
nix run git+https://git.ophivana.moe/cat/fortify -- -h
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Module usage
|
|
|
|
The NixOS module currently requires home-manager and impermanence to function correctly.
|
|
|
|
To use the module, import it into your configuration with
|
|
|
|
```nix
|
|
{
|
|
inputs = {
|
|
nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-24.05";
|
|
|
|
fortify = {
|
|
url = "git+https://git.ophivana.moe/cat/fortify";
|
|
|
|
# Optional but recommended to limit the size of your system closure.
|
|
inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
|
|
};
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
outputs = { self, nixpkgs, fortify, ... }:
|
|
{
|
|
nixosConfigurations.fortify = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
|
|
system = "x86_64-linux";
|
|
modules = [
|
|
fortify.nixosModules.fortify
|
|
];
|
|
};
|
|
};
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This adds the `environment.fortify` option:
|
|
|
|
```nix
|
|
{ pkgs, ... }:
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
environment.fortify = {
|
|
enable = true;

|

call = {

|

};
|

|
|
|
|
* `enable` determines whether the module should be enabled or not. Useful when sharing configurations between graphical
|
|
and headless systems. Defaults to `false`.
|
|
|
|
* `user` specifies the privileged user with access to fortified applications.
|
|
|
|
* `stateDir` is the path to your persistent storage location. It is directly passed through to the impermanence module.
|
|
|
|
* `target` is an attribute set of submodules, where the attribute name is the username of the unprivileged target user.
|
|
|
|
The available options are:
|
|
|
|
* `packages`, the list of packages to make available in the target user's environment.
|
|
|
|
* `persistence`, user persistence attribute set passed to impermanence.
|
|
|
|
* `extraConfig`, extra home-manager configuration for the target user.
|
|
|
|
* `launchers`, attribute set where the attribute name is the name of the launcher.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
* `command`, the command to run as the target user. Defaults to launcher name.
|
|
|
|
* `dbus.config`, D-Bus proxy custom configuration.
|
|
|
|
* `dbus.configSystem`, D-Bus system bus custom configuration, null to disable.
|
|
|

|
|
|
