Been trying out the Sandbox code. Seeing it in action is, for us, a dream come true.
For a long while now, the need to isolate the applications being started has been high on the agenda. Thanks to a load of work by Jeetu to integrate the awesome LXC code into our ebrainpool client, the client now...
The previous two posts on building the eBrainPool Linux Container have outlined the following strategies and problems associated with them : Design 1. Bridging the network interface on host Design 2. Unique network bridge for container Both the above strategies have the deficiency that they requ...
This is the second part in my series of blog entries on designing an eBrainPool Linux Container that follows objectives I outlined in my previous post Building the eBrainPool Linux Container - Part 1
Design 2 - Unique network bridge for container
Maximum security with minimum complexity - this...
I've been toying with Linux Containers (LXC) to provide a sandbox for eBrainPool. Design objectives of the eBrainPool system with regards to sandboxing can be roughly jotted down as :
-
applications on the host should be run within this sandbox and shared to the outside world.
-
filesystem i...
Ok Ok...the above pic isn't a sandbox but of cottages by the sand taken during one of my trips to Goa, but it should still be enough to set the tempo for this blog post....and also hopefully take the people here to a nice tranquil place by the sea....the sun....the sand :)
So I've been toying with...
In this concluding post on stuff we learnt during the eBrainPool workshop at the Chaos Communications Camp (CCC) 2011, I shall focus on discussions we had with regards trust models.
It is increasingly being felt that reputation is the sincerest currency. The social standing of an individual and th...
Discovery Services and breaking dependence from the Olsr plugin
Currently the eBrainPool client uses the Olsr routing messages itself for discovery. Our custom Olsr plugin sends out custom messages that signify the presence of an eBrainPool client on that node. This plugin also scans incoming mess...
We've been very fortunate and honoured to have had the chance to interact with some really interesting people at the CCC 2011 and learn from them. We have had many questions with regards mesh, security, privacy and the best way forward and we thank everyone who has attended the workshop and helped s...
The Road ahead becomes clearer
17, MarFor those following the fun and games going on here @ebrainpool, Both Jeetu and myself are currently in heavy coding mode, working on little pieces for the next release.
A quick update on things ... we wrangled back and forth about the timelines that would be required to develop and integrate the...
Its been a hectic few months. We have been trying to get all this up and running, getting better documentation down, and putting things together to get the development of the next release sorted out. With this new site, coming on, this might be a good time to explain what we have been working toward...
