    Secondly, I'm not sure of your distro, since in another thread you said you use Ubuntu but typically SELinux is not shipped with Ubuntu. Usually Fedora/RedHat uses SELinux and Debian/Ubuntu use AppArmor. However, on RedHat systems there is a container-selinux package that containes policy files for handling containers, and installing it made a lot of my container-related alerts with SELinux disappear after I added it. I'm not sure if there's a similar package for Ubuntu.

    Yeah, use ps -Z PID (from outside of a container) to check its label.

    Some other useful sources of info - the container_selinux man page tells you about container_t. And an index of Dan Walsh's blog posts about containers & SELinux can be found in the README of <https://github.com/containers/container-selinux>.

    You can try running https://github.com/crc-org/crc with the podman preset (!) to test it. It would not be exactly the same how podman machine will use it eventualky, but might help to give an idea of performance or issues we can imorove on first. We have seen a lot of users being more than content as it also works in a vpn environment. Note that the CRC tool primarily aims at OpenShift deployment... This is a different preset (resource intensive). Only available as an installer with our tray (sorry about this).

    The driver we use is https://github.com/crc-org/vfkit and I am sure Christophe could share a method to just run the VM with our driver. HMU by email if you prefer.
