Manage Linux capabilities for users and groups

NAME

apptainer-capability - Manage Linux capabilities for users and groups

SYNOPSIS

apptainer capability

DESCRIPTION

Capabilities allow you to have fine grained control over the permissions that
your containers need to run.

NOTE: capability add/drop commands require root to run. Granting capabilities
to users allows them to escalate privilege inside the container and will
likely give them a route to privilege escalation on the host system as well.
Do not add capabilities to users who should not have root on the host system.

OPTIONS

-h, --help[=false]
help for capability

EXAMPLE

  All group commands have their own help output:
  $ apptainer help capability add
  $ apptainer capability add --help
