Specifying configuration options such as volume mounts, memory limits or uid:gid mapping while running a container with docker is as simple as specifying command line options to the docker command. While using runc, these configurations are passed to runc as a file. This configuration file, the runtime-spec, is a configuration standard put in place by the Open Container Initiative (OCI) to specify options for a container and is used by runc[2]. In simpler words, the runtime-spec is a JSON file named config.json consisting of configurations pertaining to a specific container.

To accomplish this, runc uses criu, an open source piece of software which does the actual checkpoint and restore. In order to use runc commands such as checkpoint and restore, you ought to have the criu binary installed on your host system. You can find instruction for installing criu here.

The runtime spec, as discussed above, is a set of configuration options stored in a file read by runc to apply configuration before running the container. In docker, you can explicitly set some of the options that you can provide in the runtime-spec. Going through the most common configuration options, you can:

Limit the amount of memory that can be allocated to the processes running under the new cgroup inside the container. For instance, the snippet below will instruct runc to limit the amount of memory available to the container to 2068MB. A value of -1 means unlimited memory.

I'm not quite sure what docker meant by oci vs runc back when this question was asked, it was probably differentiating between a built-in runtime in the docker engine when they were forking off the runc code. That has long finished and you'll only see runc and containerd.runc runtimes in current docker installs. The reason the wording is confusing is because runc is an OCI project.

Although runC itself can create a container manifest (runc spec > config.json), the resulting file is pretty generic, and will probably still have to be filled in with many environmental variables. Why do that manually when the Docker engine captures that information automatically?

If I try --allowerasing, sure that might work... but is it safe to erase these runc, podman and containerd files??? Will it work after that?It's so strange to be happening on such a major distro but I can't find a solid resolution.

The search service can find package by either name (apache),provides(webserver), absolute file names (/usr/bin/apache),binaries (gprof) or shared libraries (libXm.so.2) instandard path. It does not support multiple arguments yet... The System and Arch are optional added filters, for exampleSystem could be "redhat", "redhat-7.2", "mandrake" or "gnome", Arch could be "i386" or "src", etc. depending on your system. System Arch RPM resource runcrunc is a CLI tool for spawning and running containers according to the OCIspecification. It is designed to be as minimal as possible, and is the workhorseof Docker. It was originally designed to be a replacement for LXC within Docker,and has grown to become a separate project entirely.

From the error you can see that it has to do with runc and cgroup v2 but I am super uncertain if downgrading to cgroup v1 is the way to go here or not or if there is another core probelm. Thx for any help

RunC is the default runtime when you create containers using the kubectl command. No special runtime class is needed. For information creating containers using runc as the runtime engine, see Container Orchestration.

runc is a command line client for running applications packaged according to the Open Container Initiative (OCI) format and is a compliant implementation of the Open Container Initiative specification

As I explained in Dockerless, part 1: Which tools to replace Docker with and why , there is an Open Containers Initiative (OCI) and specifications for how to run containers and manage container images. runc is compliant with this specification, but there are other runtimes that are OCI-compliant. You can even run OCI-compliant virtual machines.

There is no reason to use runc daily. It's one of those small internal utilities that is not meant to be used directly. But we are going to do it anyway, just to understand a bit better how containers work.

runc doesn't have a concept of "images", like Podman or Docker do. You can not just execute runc run nginx:latest. Instead, runc expects you to provide an "OCI bundle", which is basically a root filesystem and a config.json file.

What we copied is an OCI Image, but as we already know, runc needs OCI Runtime Bundle. We need a tool that would convert an Image to a Bundle. This tool will be umoci - an openSUSE utility with the only purpose of manipulating OCI images. To install it, grab latest release from Github Releases and make it available on your PATH. At the moment of writing, latest version is 0.4.5. umoci unpack takes an OCI image and makes a bundle out of it:

Let's inspect this container a bit closer by replacing command with sleep infinite and setting terminal option to "false" inside config.json. runc does not provide whole lot of command line arguments. It has commands like start, stop and run, but the configuration of container is always coming from the file, not from the command line:

In case of Docker, there is a central daemon that knows everything about containers. How is runc able to find our containers? It turns out, it just keeps the state on the filesystem, by default inside /run/runc/CONTAINER_NAME/state.json:

As we run in detached mode, there is no relation between original runc run command (there is no such process anymore) and this container process. If we check in the process table, we will see that parent process of the container is PID 1:

Detached mode is used by Docker, containerd, CRI-O and others. It's purpose is to simplify integration between runc and full-featured container management tools. Worth mentioning is that runc itself is not a library of some sort - it's a CLI. When other tools use runc, they invoke the same runc commands that we just saw in action.

conmon uses runc as a runtime via -r argument and application bundle specified by -b argument. If we inspect the directory that is passed as bundle, we will see a familiar config.json file, that points to the root filesystem and sets up a ton of different options. And if we check /run/runc directory, we will see the state for this container just as if we would execute runc directly:

In real work you will almost never do the things that I just showed you - unless you are developing your own or existing container tools. You must not assemble application bundles out of container images and you will be much better off using Podman instead of runc directly.

But it is very helpful to know what happens behind the scenes and what is really involved in running a container. There are still many layers between end user and the final container process, but if you have an understanding of the very last layer, then containers will stop being something magic and at times weird. In the end, it's just runc spawning a process within namespaces.

The most important part about runc is that it tracks the OCI runtime-spec. Even though practically every container these days is spawned with runc, it doesn't have to be spawned with runc. You can swap it with any other container runtime that follows the runtime-spec and your container engine like CRI-O is supposed to work the same way.

So I will continue looking into runc as it comes as a simple download from github as a precompiled static binary. Seems less trouble than to downgrade systemd with aptitude. Must be a reason for that update to .54

Both runc and Docker make use of libcontainer but have very different CLIs. If you would like to learn more about how to customise runc, add networking and much more then check out the official homepage at: runc.io or the Github repo.

Storage: At least one Portworx node should have extra storage available, either as an unformatted partition or as a disk-drive. Note that Portworx automatically formats any storage devices you pass as parameters to the px-runc installer. The following example command passes the /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc3 storage devices as parameters:

At this point, Docker still calls directly into the HCS. Going forward, however, container management tools expanding to include Windows containers and the Windows container host could call into containerd and runhcs the way they call on containerd and runc on Linux.

runhcs is a fork of runc. Like runc, runhcs is a command line client for running applications packaged according to the Open Container Initiative (OCI) format and is a compliant implementation of the Open Container Initiative specification.

The bundle directory (using -b bundle) is optional.As with runc, containers are configured using bundles. A container's bundle is the directory with the container's OCI specification file, "config.json". The default value for "bundle" is the current directory.

docker.errors.APIError: 500 Server Error: Internal Server Error("failed to create task for container: failed to create shim task: OCIruntime create failed: runc create failed: unsupported spec(1.1.0-rc.2), need 1.0.x: unknown")

A container runtime shim is a piece of software that resides in between a container manager (containerd, cri-o, podman) and a container runtime (runc, crun) solving the integration problem of these counterparts.

However, before jumping to the shim development, we need to familiarize ourselves with the container runtime component of the choice. Unsurprisingly, conman uses runc as a container runtime, so I will start the article by covering basic runc use cases alongside its design quirks. Then I'll show the naive way to use runc from code and explain some related pitfalls. The final part of the article will provide an overview of the shim's design.

The detailed explanation of what is a container runtime and why do we need one is out of the scope of this article. If you are lacking this knowledge, read this section first, then check out runc README file, and try out runc --help.
