I need instructions for how to setup a chroot environment on the server - I found this old discussion:
http://www.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:components:tce
The TCE is a thin client system (lying in a chroot) that can be booted via PXE/NFS. The chroot is the rootfs of the netbootet thin client.
but this seems to be a tool for setting up chroot on the CLIENT side? Seems to be a different use case.
Yes.
What I want: I would like to chroot users that logged into the server via x2go client to see only files in their home directory (or inside their "jail") - what is the recommended + most efficient way of doing this with the least administrative overhead? - mind the updates! - so recompiling jail binaries after every update of relevant software should happen automatically, most preferable solution would be:
Have you taken a look at the generic schroot (package name) tool? For X2Go you will have to run install one X2Go server per chroot and run one SSHd per chroot, I guess. So that is: many SSH ports, one for each chroot.
apt-get install x2go-server-chroot x2go-create-chroot /home/user
Nothing like this exists, yet. If you aim at working on such a thing, then please contribute it to the project.
I know, that John Sullivan offers a software service designed like you suggest, based on VServer.
without any needed (or minimal) additional interaction after future updates so that your jail is always uptodate after an apt-get update.
Big goal...
does this exist?
No, not yet. But soon???
if not, how to create it? THANK you very much for your attention, Bughunter
Will be happy to help you with your issues. If you start working on actual code, let's move the discussion to the x2go-dev ML.
BTW search for x2go +chroot with Google to see how small the internet can be ;)
