runc
runc is a CLI tool for spawning and running containers according to the OCF specification.
State of the project
Currently runc is an implementation of the OCI specification. We are currently sprinting
to have a v1 of the spec out. So the runc config format will be constantly changing until
the spec is finalized. However, we encourage you to try out the tool and give feedback.
OCF
How does runc integrate with the Open Container Initiative Specification?
runc depends on the types specified in the
specs repository. Whenever the
specification is updated and ready to be versioned runc will update its dependency
on the specs repository and support the update spec.
Building:
At the time of writing, runc only builds on the Linux platform.
# create a 'github.com/opencontainers' in your GOPATH/src
cd github.com/opencontainers
git clone https://github.com/opencontainers/runc
cd runc
make
sudo make installIn order to enable seccomp support you will need to install libseccomp on your platform.
If you do not with to build runc with seccomp support you can add BUILDTAGS="" when running make.
Build Tags
runc supports optional build tags for compiling in support for various features.
| Build Tag | Feature | Dependency |
|---|---|---|
| seccomp | Syscall filtering | libseccomp |
| selinux | selinux process and mount labeling | |
| apparmor | apparmor profile support | libapparmor |
Testing:
You can run tests for runC by using command:
# make testNote that test cases are run in Docker container, so you need to install
docker first. And test requires mounting cgroups inside container, it's
done by docker now, so you need a docker version newer than 1.8.0-rc2.
You can also run specific test cases by:
# make test TESTFLAGS="-run=SomeTestFunction"Using:
To run a container, execute runc start in the bundle's root directory:
runc start
/ $ ps
PID USER COMMAND
1 daemon sh
5 daemon sh
/ $OCI Container JSON Format:
OCI container JSON format is based on OCI specs.
You can generate JSON files by using runc spec, it'll generate config.json
and runtime.json. It assumes that the file-system is found in a directory called
rootfs and there is a user with uid and gid of 0 defined within that file-system.
Below are sample config.json and runtime.json configuration files. Note that it
could be outdated, please always create base JSON files by runc spec.

}Examples:
Using a Docker image (requires version 1.3 or later)
To test using Docker's busybox image follow these steps:
- Install
dockerand download thebusyboximage:docker pull busybox - Create a container from that image and export its contents to a tar file:
docker export $(docker create busybox) > busybox.tar - Untar the contents to create your filesystem directory:
mkdir rootfs
tar -C rootfs -xf busybox.tar
- Create
config.jsonandruntime.jsonby usingrunc spec. - Execute
runc startand you should be placed into a shell where you can runps:
$ runc start
/ # ps
PID USER COMMAND
1 root sh
9 root ps
Using runc with systemd
To use runc with systemd, you can create a unit file
/usr/lib/systemd/system/minecraft.service as below (edit your
own Description or WorkingDirectory or service name as you need).
[Unit]
Description=Minecraft Build Server
Documentation=http://minecraft.net
After=network.target
[Service]
CPUQuota=200%
MemoryLimit=1536M
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/runc start
Restart=on-failure
WorkingDirectory=/containers/minecraftbuild
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.targetMake sure you have the bundle's root directory and JSON configs in your WorkingDirectory, then use systemd commands to start the service:
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl start minecraft.serviceNote that if you use JSON configs by runc spec, you need to modify
config.json and change process.terminal to false so runc won't
create tty, because we can't set terminal from the stdin when using
systemd service.
