nginx_selinux(8)      nginx SELinux Policy documentation      nginx_selinux(8)

NAME
       nginx_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the nginx processes

DESCRIPTION
FILE CONTEXTS
       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
       type.

       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls

       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to	 these	files.
       SELinux	nginx  policy  is  very flexible allowing users to setup their
       nginx processes in as secure a method as possible.

       The following file types are defined for nginx:

       nginx_exec_t

       - Set files with the nginx_exec_t type, if you want  to	transition  an
       executable to the nginx_t domain.

       nginx_initrc_exec_t

       -  Set  files with the nginx_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
       tion an executable to the nginx_initrc_t domain.

       nginx_log_t

       - Set files with the nginx_log_t type, if you want to treat the data as
       nginx log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.

       nginx_var_lib_t

       -  Set  files  with  the nginx_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
       nginx files under the /var/lib directory.

       nginx_var_run_t

       - Set files with the nginx_var_run_t type, if you  want	to  store  the
       nginx files under the /run directory.

       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.

PROCESS TYPES
       SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
       system

       You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps

       Policy  governs	the  access confined processes have to files.  SELinux
       nginx policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their nginx  pro‐
       cesses in as secure a method as possible.

       The following process types are defined for nginx:

       nginx_t

       Note: semanage permissive -a PROCESS_TYPE can be used to make a process
       type permissive. Permissive process types  are  not  denied  access  by
       SELinux. AVC messages will still be generated.

COMMANDS
       semanage	 fcontext  can also be used to manipulate default file context
       mappings.

       semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate  whether  or	not  a
       process type is permissive.

       semanage	 module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
       icy modules.

       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
       icy settings.
