Generation of bootc compatible disk images is done via the command:

sudo podman run --rm -it --privileged \
         --pull=newer \
         --security-opt label=type:unconfined_t \
         -v ./config.toml:/config.toml:ro \
         -v ./output:/output \
         -v /var/lib/containers/storage/:/var/lib/containers/storage/ \
         quay.io/centos-bootc/bootc-image-builder:latest \
         --type qcow2 \
         quay.io/centos-bootc/centos-bootc:stream9

Ref: https://github.com/osbuild/bootc-image-builder?tab=readme-ov-file#-examples

And this currently results in an apparently harmless AVC denial:

avc:  denied  { nnp_transition nosuid_transition } for  pid=40081 comm="bootc" \
        scontext=system_u:system_r:install_t:s0:c68,c235 \
        tcontext=system_u:system_r:container_runtime_t:s0:c68,c235 \
        tclass=process2 permissive=0

This commit adds allow rules for processes with install_t type, like bootc, to silence the AVCs.

Reviewer's Guide by Sourcery

This pull request adds SELinux policy rules to allow processes running with the install_t type (such as bootc) to transition to the container_runtime_t type. This resolves AVC denials observed during the generation of bootc-compatible disk images.

No diagrams generated as the changes look simple and do not need a visual representation.

File-Level Changes

Change Details Files

Doesn't look like this will merge unless rebased. Rebasing might remove the lgtm label, so I'll take the liberty to re-add it.
