CageFS is a virtualized file system that, together with a set of tools, isolates different users by keeping each in their own “cage,” significantly enhancing system security.
For the end user, all functionalities remain accessible, but CageFS applies some essential restrictions:
-
Only known binaries are available
-
Limits process visibility to the individual user, implementing restrictions in the /proc folder
-
Restricts access to and visibility of system files
To install CageFS, the server must be running CloudLinux with an active license. The installation process is started with the following command:
yum install cagefs lvemanager
You should then review the packages to be installed and proceed with the installation so that CageFS is fully configured and functional on your system.
