Fortify
=======
[](https://pkg.go.dev/git.ophivana.moe/cat/fortify)
Lets you run graphical applications as another user ~~in an Android-like sandbox environment~~ (WIP) 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~~ (WIP).
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;
user = "nixos";
shell = "zsh";
stateDir = "/var/lib/persist/module";
target = {
chronos = {
launchers = {
weechat.method = "sudo";
claws-mail.capability.pulse = false;
discord = {
command = "vesktop --ozone-platform-hint=wayland";
share = pkgs.vesktop;
};
chromium.dbus = {
configSystem = {
talk = [
"org.bluez"
"org.freedesktop.Avahi"
"org.freedesktop.UPower"
];
};
config = {
talk = [
"org.freedesktop.DBus"
"org.freedesktop.FileManager1"
"org.freedesktop.Notifications"
"org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver"
"org.freedesktop.secrets"
"org.kde.kwalletd5"
"org.kde.kwalletd6"
];
own = [
"org.chromium.Chromium.*"
"org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.org.chromium.Chromium.*"
"org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.chromium.*"
];
call = {
"org.freedesktop.portal.*" = "*";
};
broadcast = {
"org.freedesktop.portal.*" = "@/org/freedesktop/portal/*";
};
};
};
};
packages = with pkgs; [
weechat
claws-mail
vesktop
chromium
];
persistence.directories = [
".config/weechat"
".claws-mail"
".config/vesktop"
];
extraConfig = {
programs.looking-glass-client.enable = true;
};
};
};
};
}
```
* `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.
* `shell` is the shell used to run the launch command, required for sourcing the home-manager environment.
* `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.
The available options are:
* `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.
* `dbus.id`, D-Bus application id, has no effect if `dbus.config` is set.
* `dbus.mpris`, whether to enable MPRIS defaults, has no effect if `dbus.config` is set.
* `capability.wayland`, whether to share the Wayland socket.
* `capability.x11`, whether to share the X11 socket and allow connection.
* `capability.dbus`, whether to proxy D-Bus.
* `capability.pulse`, whether to share the PulseAudio socket and cookie.
* `share`, package containing desktop/icon files. Defaults to launcher name.
* `method`, the launch method for the sandboxed program, can be `"fortify"`, `"fortify-sudo"`, `"sudo"`.
