Description

Created originally in Butane by @quentin9696: https://github.com/coreos/butane/issues/477


Feature Request

Environment

I run on AWS but I don't think it matter

Desired Feature

Be able to import custom SELinux module with ignition. This is usually done by running the command semodule -i /path/to/module. Files can be compile module or cil modules

Other Information

This must be done after the filesystem is loaded.

Some OS comes with SElinux enabled by default, I think it would be nice to have more feature related to selinux

Research direction

Start by reviewing Ignition's handling of configuration after the filesystem is loaded and the documented semodule -i command behavior. Determine how compiled and CIL SELinux modules would be represented and ordered after filesystem setup. Done means both module types can be imported after the filesystem is available, with coverage for the supported configuration behavior.
