How to disable SELinux in Fedora CoreOS

Warning: Depending on your application, disabling the SELinux security layer might be a bad idea since it might introduce new security risks especially if the container system has security issues.

In order to disable SELinux on Fedora CoreOS, run this:

sudo sed -i -e 's/SELINUX=/SELINUX=disabled #/g' /etc/selinux/config
sudo systemctl reboot

Note that this will reboot your system in order for the changes to take effect.

The sed command will replace the default

SELINUX=enforcing

in /etc/selinux/config to

SELINUX=disabled
