AppArmor.d

Full set of AppArmor profiles

AppArmor.d is a set of over 1500 AppArmor profiles whose aim is to confine most Linux based applications and processes.

Purpose¶

• Confine all root processes such as all systemd tools, bluetooth, dbus, polkit, NetworkManager, OpenVPN, GDM, rtkit, colord
• Confine all Desktop environments
• Confine all user services such as Pipewire, Gvfsd, dbus, xdg, xwayland
• Confine some "special" user applications: web browsers, file managers, etc
• Should not break a normal usage of the confined software

See the Concepts' page for more detail on the architecture.

Goals¶

• Target both desktops and servers
• Support for all distributions that support AppArmor:
  • Arch Linux
  • Ubuntu 24.04/22.04
  • Debian 12
  • openSUSE Tumbleweed
• Support for all major desktop environments:
  • Gnome (GDM)
  • KDE (SDDM)
  • XFCE (Lightdm) (work in progress)
• Fully tested (work in progress)
