### Environments with SELinux

To make An Otter Wiki run in an environment with `SELINUX=enforcing` with the methods propose in the [[Installation]] document the bind mounts have to be adjusted.

When podman gives you the error message
12
```
13
mkdir: cannot create directory '/app-data': Permission denied
14
```
15
please update your `compose.yaml` to
16
```yaml
17
services:
18
otterwiki:
19
image: redimp/otterwiki:2
20
restart: unless-stopped

ports:

Added SELinux hint for Caddy
29
In our tests in `rocky:9 docker` configured the permissions even with setting the `:z` flag, please see the [docker documentation about bind mounts](https://docs.docker.com/engine/storage/bind-mounts/#configure-the-selinux-label) for more details.

#### Caddy as reverse proxy provisioning TLS certificates
32
33
In an environment with `SELINUX=enforcing` where Caddy is used as reverse proxy, it was observed that it is necessary to run
34
```bash
35
setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect on
36
```
37
to enable Caddy to connect to the internet in order to provision proper TLS certificates.
