Project: containerd (Runtime / Container Runtime)
File: managed-opt.md

The containerd managed opt directory provides a way for users to install containerd dependencies using the existing distribution infrastructure. With runtime v2 and new shim's being built, it is a challenge to download various shims or runtime dependencies onto a machine. The managed `/opt` directory for containerd allows users to create images that provide these dependencies and install them on a system using the containerd client API. Configuration: default: `/opt/containerd` containerd config: ```toml version = 2 [plugins."io.containerd.internal.v1.opt"] path = "/opt/mypath" ``` Usage: code: ```go image, err := client.Pull(ctx, "docker.io/crosbymichael/runc:latest") client.Install(ctx, image) ``` Options: ```go // WithInstallLibs installs libs from the image func WithInstallLibs(c *InstallConfig) { } // WithInstallReplace will replace existing files func WithInstallReplace(c *InstallConfig) { } ``` ctr: ```bash ctr content fetch docker.io/crosbymichael/runc:latest ctr install docker.io/crosbymichael/runc:latest ``` You can manage versions and see what is running via standard image commands. Images: These images MUST be small and only contain binaries and libs if required. ```Dockerfile FROM scratch Add runc /bin/runc ``` Containerd will only extract files in `/bin` of the image by default, Opts can be added to replace or install `libs/`. However, we recommend that these binaries be static to reduce linked dependencies. The code adds a service to manage an `/opt/containerd` directory and provide that path to callers via the introspection service. How to Test: Delete runc from your system. ```bash sudo ctr run --rm docker.io/library/redis:alpine redis ctr: OCI runtime create failed: unable to retrieve OCI runtime error (open /run/containerd/io.containerd.runtime.v1.linux/default/redis/log.json: no such file or directory): exec: "runc": executable file not found in $PATH: unknown sudo ctr content fetch docker.io/crosbymichael/runc:latest sudo ctr install docker.io/crosbymichael/runc:latest sudo ctr run --rm docker.io/library/redis:alpine redis 1:C 01 Aug 15:59:52.864 # oO0OoO0OoO0Oo Redis is starting oO0OoO0OoO0Oo 1:C 01 Aug 15:59:52.864 # Redis version=4.0.10, bits=64, commit=00000000, modified=0, pid=1, just started 1:C 01 Aug 15:59:52.864 # Warning: no config file specified, using the default
