Easy Containers GUI improved
There are improvements to the Easy Containers GUI. This is
launched via the "Filesystem" category in the menu. Here is the latest
main window:
There are two main improvements:
1. Security levels
The idea is to choose a broad criteria to preselect the options in the
Expert tab. Given that the options in the Expert tab might be confusing
without studying them carefully, this simple seven-level system makes it
easier.
2. GUI to manage security options for existing containers
Previously, the only way to change the security options for an existing
container was to edit it's 'configuration' file. Now, you choose a
container from the drop-down list in the "Manage" frame, and the
"Security options" frame gets loaded. You can make changes if you wish,
then click "Update & exit" button.
/usr/local/easy_containers/templates has 'configuration' files for
some apps. This can be expanded to have configurations that have been
tested to work.
Attention has been given to installing an SFS or app where absolute
minimal security is required, The 'devx' SFS for example, we could
install it to a container, and want all the power, just want to install
so that it doesn't affect the main desktop.
