+## <a name="configLinuxPersonality" />Personality
+
+**`personality`** (object, OPTIONAL) sets the Linux execution personality. For more information
+see the [personality](personality.2) syscall documentation. As most of the options are
+obsolete and rarely used, and some reduce security, the currently supported set is a small
+subset of the available options.
+
+* **`domain`** *(string, REQUIRED)* - the execution domain.
+    The valid list of constants is shown below. `LINUX32` will set the `uname` system call to show
+    a 32 bit CPU type, such as `i686`.
+
+    * `LINUX`
+    * `LINUX32`
+
+* **`flags`** *(array of strings, OPTIONAL)* - the additional flags to apply.
+    Currently no flag values are supported.
