Havind said that, it will be nice to be able to run virtiofsd without root. </blockquote><div> </div><div>Yes they can run as root. I can tell you what we plan to do with the containerized virtiofsd: We run it as part of the user-owned pod (a set of containers). One of our main goals at the moment is to run VMs in a user-owned pod without additional privileges.</div><div>So that in case the user (VM-creator/owner) enters the pod or something breaks out of the VM they are just in the unprivileged container sandbox.</div><div>As part of that we try to get also rid of running containers in the user-context with the root user. One possible scenario which I could think of as being desirable from a kubevirt perspective: </div><div>We would run the VM in one container and have an unprivileged virtiofsd container in parallel. This container already has its own mount namespace and it is not that critical if something manages to enter this sandbox. But we are not as far yet as getting completely rid of root right now in kubevirt, so if as a temporary step it needs root, the current proposed changes would still be very useful for us.

If we were to run unpriviliged, probably all files on host will have to be owned by unpriviliged user and guest visible uid/gid will have to be stored in xattrs. I think virtfs supports something similar. </blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"> I am sure there are other restrictions but this probably is the biggest one to overcome. > > "Just" pointing docker to a different seccomp.json file is something which > k8s users/admin in many cases can't do. Or may be issue is that standard seccomp.json does not allow unshare() and hence you are forced to use a non-standar seccomp.json.
