history
Project history and usage
Landrun is a small Linux command-line sandbox that wraps the kernel Landlock security module so ordinary users can run a process with explicit filesystem and TCP access rules.
Project history
The project appeared publicly in March 2025 with early 0.1.x releases. Its README frames it as a practical front end for Landlock: no root, no containers, no SELinux or AppArmor policy files, and a command-line flag model for read, write, execute, bind, and connect permissions.
The early release stream quickly refined the access model. Version 0.1.3, released on 2025-03-22, added a deny-all behavior when no sandbox rules are provided. Version 0.1.4, released on 2025-03-23, replaced a global execution flag with path-specific execution permissions. Version 0.1.10, released on 2025-03-23, expanded Landlock permission coverage and tests, and version 0.1.14, released on 2025-04-03, added helper flags for dynamically linked executables.
Adoption history
Landrun's adoption signal is mainly package-nerd and security-tool visibility rather than a long institutional history. The upstream README lists distro packaging for Arch AUR and SlackBuilds, and the Homebrew formula places it in the macOS/Linux package-manager ecosystem even though the underlying sandbox requires Linux Landlock support.
How it is used
Typical usage is to prefix another command with `landrun` and add only the paths and TCP ports that process should access. The README also documents a systemd integration pattern for wrapping services such as nginx with reduced filesystem and network permissions.
Why package nerds care
For package collectors, Landrun is notable because it turns a relatively obscure kernel LSM into a normal CLI tool. It sits near tools such as firejail and bubblewrap, but its hook is using unprivileged, kernel-native Landlock rules with a small Go implementation.
Timeline
- 2025-03-22: v0.1.3 release documented deny-all behavior when no sandbox rules are supplied.
- 2025-03-23: v0.1.4 release introduced path-specific execution permissions.
- 2025-03-23: v0.1.10 release expanded Landlock permission coverage and test coverage.
- 2025-04-03: v0.1.14 release added `--ldd` and `--add-exec` helper flags.
