Development VM
To ensure compatibility across distribution, this project ships a wide range of development and tests VM images.
The test VMs can be built locally using cloud-init, packer on Qemu/KVM using Libvirt. No other hypervisor will be targeted for these tests. The files that generate these images can be found in the tests/packer directory. The VMs are fully managed using a justfile that provides an integration environment helper for apparmor.d.
Available recipes:
help # Show this help message
build # Build the go programs
enforce # Prebuild the profiles in enforced mode
complain # Prebuild the profiles in complain mode
fsp # Prebuild the profiles in FSP mode
install # Install the profiles
pkg # Build & install apparmor.d on Arch based systems
dpkg # Build & install apparmor.d on Debian based systems
rpm # Build & install apparmor.d on OpenSUSE based systems
tests # Run the unit tests
lint # Run the linters
check # Run style checks on the profiles
man # Generate the man pages
docs # Build the documentation
serve # Serve the documentation
clean # Remove all build artifacts
package dist # Build the package in a clean OCI container
img dist flavor # Build the VM image
create dist flavor # Create the machine
up dist flavor # Start a machine
halt dist flavor # Stops the machine
reboot dist flavor # Reboot the machine
destroy dist flavor # Destroy the machine
ssh dist flavor # Connect to the machine
list # List the machines

Requirements¶
Note
You may need to edit some settings to fit your setup:
- The default ssh key and ISO directory in
tests/packer/variables.pkr.hcl
Build¶
One can see the available images by running:
Distribution Flavor
archlinux gnome
archlinux kde
archlinux server
archlinux xfce
debian12 gnome
debian12 kde
debian12 server
ubuntu24 server
...
A VM image can be build with:
The image will then be showed in the list of images:
The VM can then be created with:
And connected to with:
Develop¶
Credentials
The admin user is: user, its password is: user. It has passwordless sudo access. Automatic login is not enabled on DE. The root user is not locked.
Directories
All the images come pre-configured with the latest version of apparmor.d installed and running in the VM. The apparmor.d project directory is mounted as /home/user/Projects/apparmor.d
Usage
On all images, aa-update can be used to rebuild and install the latest version of the profiles. p, pf, and pu are two pre-configured aliases of ps that show the security status of processes. htop is also configured to show this status.
