This is not a troll post. I’m genuinely confused as to why SELinux gets so much of hate. I have to say, I feel that it’s a fairly robust system. The times when I had issues with it, I created a custom policy in the relevant directory and things were fixed. Maybe a couple of modules here and there at the most. It took me about 15 minutes max to figure out what permissions were being blocked and copy the commands from. Red Hat’s guide.
So yeah, why do we hate SELinux?
I only had a problem with it once, but having no experience with it really confused me.
I was mounting a directory to a docker container and i kept getting permission errors. The errors were not descriptive at all and really confused me as i already had sudo privileges and wasn’t expecting any problems with permission.
