# Should we allow users to utilize the setuid program flow within Apptainer?
# note1: This is the default mode, and to utilize all features, this option
# must be enabled.  For example, without this option loop mounts of image 
# files will not work; only sandbox image directories, which do not need loop
# mounts, will work (subject to note 2).
# note2: If this option is disabled, it will rely on unprivileged user
# namespaces which have not been integrated equally between different Linux
# distributions.

# ALLOW PID NS: [BOOL]
# DEFAULT: yes

# MOUNT DEV: [yes/no/minimal]
# DEFAULT: yes

# is chosen, then only 'null', 'zero', 'random', 'urandom', and 'shm' will
# be included (the same effect as the --contain options)
mount dev = yes

# MOUNT DEVPTS: [BOOL]
# DEFAULT: yes
# Should we mount a new instance of devpts if there is a 'minimal'
# /dev, or -C is passed?  Note, this requires that your kernel was
# configured with CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES=y, or that you're
# running kernel 4.7 or newer.
mount devpts = yes

# MOUNT HOME: [BOOL]
# DEFAULT: yes
# Should we automatically determine the calling user's home directory and
# attempt to mount it's base path into the container? If the --contain option
# is used, the home directory will be created within the session directory or
# can be overridden with the APPTAINER_HOME or APPTAINER_WORKDIR
# environment variables (or their corresponding command line options).
mount home = yes

# MOUNT TMP: [BOOL]
# DEFAULT: yes
# Should we automatically bind mount /tmp and /var/tmp into the container? If
# the --contain option is used, both tmp locations will be created in the
# session directory or can be specified via the  APPTAINER_WORKDIR
# environment variable (or the --workingdir command line option).

# the container. The file or directory must exist within the container on
# which to attach to. you can specify a different source and destination
# path (respectively) with a colon; otherwise source and dest are the same.

# DEFAULT: yes

# ENABLE FUSEMOUNT: [BOOL]
# DEFAULT: yes
# Allow users to mount fuse filesystems inside containers with the --fusemount
# command line option.
enable fusemount = yes

# ENABLE OVERLAY: [yes/no/driver/try]
# DEFAULT: yes
# Enabling this option will make it possible to specify bind paths to locations
# that do not currently exist within the container.  If 'yes', kernel overlayfs
# will be tried but if it doesn't work, the image driver (i.e. fuse-overlayfs)
# will be used instead.  'try' is obsolete and treated the same as 'yes'.
# If 'driver' is chosen, overlay will always be handled by the image driver.
# If 'no' is chosen, then no overlay type will be used for missing bind paths
# nor for any other purpose.
# The ENABLE UNDERLAY 'preferred' option below overrides this option for
# creating bind paths.
enable overlay = yes

# ENABLE UNDERLAY: [yes/no/preferred]
# DEFAULT: yes
# Enabling this option will make it possible to specify bind paths to locations
# that do not currently exist within the container without using any overlay
# feature, when the '--underlay' action option is given by the user or when
# the ENABLE OVERLAY option above is set to 'no'.
# If 'preferred' is chosen, then underlay will always be used instead of
# overlay for creating bind paths.
# This option is deprecated and will be removed in a future release, because
# the implementation is complicated and the performance is similar to
# overlayfs and fuse-overlayfs.
enable underlay = yes

# MOUNT SLAVE: [BOOL]
# DEFAULT: yes
# Should we automatically propagate file-system changes from the host?
# This should be set to 'yes' when autofs mounts in the system should
# show up in the container.
mount slave = yes

# SESSIONDIR MAXSIZE: [STRING]
# DEFAULT: 64
# This specifies how large the default sessiondir should be (in MB). It will
# affect users who use the "--contain" options and don't also specify a
# location to do default read/writes to (e.g. "--workdir" or "--home") and
# it will also affect users of "--writable-tmpfs".
sessiondir max size = 64

# ALLOW SETUID-MOUNT ENCRYPTED: [BOOL}
# DEFAULT: yes
# Allow mounting of SIF encryption using the kernel device-mapper in

# WARNING: in setuid mode a "yes" here while still allowing users write
# access to the underlying filesystem data enables potential attacks on

# severity since normally unprivileged users do not have write access to the
