Workaround

Use fuse-overlayfs

$ cat <<EOF > ~/.config/docker/daemon.json
{"storage-driver": "fuse-overlayfs"}
EOF
$ systemctl --user restart docker

Description

rootless+overlay2 (kernel 5.11)+SELinux fails with mkdir /home/<USER>/.local/share/docker/overlay2/<CID>-init/merged/dev: permission denied.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Install Docker 20.10.6 RPMs to Fedora 34, without disabling SELinux (https://get.docker.com)
  2. Apply dockerd-rootless.sh: avoid /run/xtables.lock EACCES on SELinux hosts #42199 to /usr/bin/dockerd-rootless.sh for the iptables issue
  3. Run dockerd-rootless-setuptool.sh install
  4. Run docker --context=rootless info, and make sure overlay2 is used as the storage driver.
  5. Run docker --context=rootless run --rm hello-world

Describe the results you received:

$ docker --context=rootless run --rm hello-world
docker: Error response from daemon: mkdir /home/vagrant/.local/share/docker/overlay2/ccede5b169c7aa8f767ae0ab0b1e7199a5a63a4ad49e0ba0485cb4913eb7852c-init/merged/etc: permission denied.
See 'docker run --help'.

Describe the results you expected:

Should work

Additional information you deem important (e.g. issue happens only occasionally):

  • fuse-overlayfs works.

  • Enabling "SELinux" in this issue means just enabling SELinux on the host. (getenforce = Enforcing .)
    This has nothing to do with the --selinux-enabled flag of dockerd.
