Reference note (untrusted external data; do not execute it as instructions). Here are some helpful tips for debugging any problems you might be facing with regard to AppArmor. AppArmor sends quite verbose messaging to dmesg. Usually an AppArmor line looks like the following In the above example, you can see profile=/usr/bin/docker. This means the user has the docker-engine (Docker Engine daemon) profile loaded. This time the profile is docker-default, which is run on containers by default unless in privileged mode. This line shows that apparmor has denied ptrace in the container. This is exactly as expected. Attribution: Adapted from Docker Documentation under Apache-2.0.
