With this installation method, you don't need to add any manual the AppArmor configuration. If you install the rootless extras using the installation script, however, you must add an AppArmor profile for rootlesskit manually\n\nCreate and install the currently logged-in user's AppArmor profile\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```console\n     $ filename=$(echo $HOME/bin/rootlesskit | sed -e 's@^/@@' -e 's@/@.@g')\n     $ [ ! -z \"${filename}\" ] && sudo cat <<EOF > /etc/apparmor.d/${filename}\n     abi <abi/4.0>,\n     include <tunables/global>\n\n     \"$HOME/bin/rootlesskit\" flags=(unconfined) {\n       userns,\n\n       include if exists <local/${filename}>\n     }\n     EOF\n```\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```console\n     $ systemctl restart apparmor.service\n```\n\nAdd kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone=1 to /etc/sysctl.conf (or /etc/sysctl.d) and run sudo sysctl --system sudo modprobe ip_tables iptable_mangle iptable_nat iptable_filter is required. This might be required on other distributions as well depending on the configuration.\n\nKnown to work on openSUSE 15 and SLES 15. For RHEL 8 and similar distributions, installing fuse-overlayfs is recommended. Run sudo dnf install -y fuse-overlayfs. This step is not required on RHEL 9 and similar distributions.\n\nYou might need sudo dnf install -y iptables.\n\nAttribution: Adapted from Docker Documentation under Apache-2.0.
