StraitJacket 2.0

This web application is a (hopefully) safe and secure remote execution environment framework. It builds on top of Docker and Linux' AppArmor system calls and as such won't be able to run on any other operating system.

The end goal is to be able to run someone else's source code in any (configured) language automatically and not worry about hax.

Design

StraitJacket comes with a number of predetermined AppArmor profiles, and docker containers built for each supported language. When StraitJacket gets an incoming request to run some code, it will launch that container with the AppArmor profile applied.

AppArmor really does all the heavy lifting. For more information please see AppArmor's wiki. A big thanks to Immunix and the subsequent AppArmor team!

API

The API has two calls:

GET /info
POST /execute

You can view the API documentation directly from github at http://petstore.swagger.io/?url=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/instructure/straitjacket/master/public/api/2015-07-14.yml though you'll need to spin up an instance of straitjacket to actually perform API calls from that page.

Installation

Development

There is a Vagrantfile provided for developing Straitjacket. Run vagrant up to build the image.

To run straitjacket locally for development, ssh into the VM with vagrant ssh and run:

cd straitjacket
sudo ./straitjacket-setup.sh
./run-dev.sh

This will listen on port 8081, which is forwarded to the host machine.

You'll need to re-run straitjacket-setup.sh any time you add/modify a language apparmor profile or docker image. New docker images need to be added there, as well.

To run the language tests (sanity checks) defined in the config .yml files, run:

./run-dev.sh --test

AMI

You can build an AWS AMI using Packer by calling the build_ami.sh build script. You'll need to modify packer.json for your VPC and subnet IDs.

A pre-built AMI may be made public later.
