  • 👷 Introducing: restricted-workers library, version 0.1.0.

    This library provides an abstract interface for running various kinds
    👷 of workers under resource restrictions. It is being developed as part
    of the interactive-diagrams project and you can read more about the
    origins of the library in my GSoC report:

    👷 The library provides a convenient way of running worker processes,
    👷 saving data obtained by the workers at start-up, a simple pool
    🔒 abstraction and a configurable security and resource limitations.

    🔒 Right now there are several kinds of security restrictions that could
    👷 be applied to the worker process:

    • RLimits
    • chroot jail
    • custom process euid
    • cgroups
    • 🖨 process niceness
    • 🔒 SELinux security context

    The library has been uploaded to hackage and you can install it using cabal-install.
