The SELinux node is an experimental image, ready to run inside a Qemu/KVM guest, offering a Gentoo Hardened system with SELinux and IMA/EVM enabled.

The node is a small (about 1.6 Gbyte of used space) environment which offers a minimal installation. The image itself is created for 50 Gbyte but can of course be resized by the proper tools.

The image can be found on the mirrors, in experimental/amd64/qemu-selinux/.

Usage

To use the image, start it up with the following options:

Option Description
-cpu kvm64 Run with the KVM 64-bit enabled CPU, needed as the image is built for x86_64

Features

Networking

The image will run the DHCP client service (if you can tell me how to disable that as well, please), but does not enable any interfaces or any network-facing daemons explicitly.
