# MRs - https://gitlab.com/whitebox-aero/whitebox/-/merge_requests/228 # Description Currently, we run the backend container and rq-worker container in privileged mode, which is required to give containers access to host hardware like wifi. This is not ideal, as malicious plugins can be installed and take advantage of privileged access. Additionally, if a proper shutdown is needed and similar situations arise, it's better to have a manager in the middle, which can either be a privileged Docker service or a normal service running on a host, and expose host-specific features to whitebox services via an API. # Scope - Discuss and write a WIP for implementing a whitebox host manager to expose host functionality to whitebox services over a layer of abstraction.
