SELinux blocking nginx

I’m exploring SELINUX with ood 2.0.18, and getting the following grumps related to nginx

ausearch --raw -c nginx

I confirmed /opt/ood/… is correct according to restorecon. I suspect something with /run being tmpfs and this being recreated at boot w/o the input of selinux policy for /var/run/ondemand-nginx is the root of this problem, but that’s just a guess.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Ric

@tdockendorf please advise.

The /run/ondemand-nginx patch I submitted (subject Suggested fix for selinux problems with /run/ondemand-nginx) seems to have resolved all of the nginx SEL problems I was having. I should have tagged that onto this topic.
