# ansible-role-containerd

Ansible role to install [containerd](https://github.com/containerd/containerd). `containerd` is an industry-standard container runtime with an emphasis on simplicity, robustness and portability. It is available as a daemon for Linux and Windows, which can manage the complete container lifecycle of its host system: image transfer and storage, container execution and supervision, low-level storage and network attachments, etc.

`ansible-galaxy install role githubixx.containerd`

- Create a `requirements.yml` file with the following content (this will download the role from Github) and install with
`ansible-galaxy role install -r requirements.yml`:

```yaml
---
roles:
- name: githubixx.containerd
src: https://github.com/githubixx/ansible-role-containerd.git
version: 0.13.2+1.7.22
```

## Role Variables

```yaml
# Only value "base" is currently supported
containerd_flavor: "base"

# containerd version to install
containerd_version: "1.7.22"

# Directory where to store "containerd" binaries
containerd_binary_directory: "/usr/local/bin"

# Location of containerd configuration file
containerd_config_directory: "/etc/containerd"

# Directory to store the archive
containerd_tmp_directory: "{{ lookup('env', 'TMPDIR') | default('/tmp', true) }}"

# Owner/group of "containerd" binaries. If the variables are not set
# the resulting binary will be owned by the current user.
containerd_owner: "root"
containerd_group: "root"

# Specifies the permissions of the "containerd" binaries
containerd_binary_mode: "0755"

# Operating system
# Possible options: "linux", "windows"
containerd_os: "linux"

# Processor architecture "containerd" should run on.
# Other possible values: "arm64","arm"
containerd_arch: "amd64"

# Name of the archive file name
containerd_archive_base: "containerd-{{ containerd_version }}-{{ containerd_os }}-{{ containerd_arch }}.tar.gz"

# The containerd download URL (normally no need to change it)
containerd_url: "https://github.com/containerd/containerd/releases/download/v{{ containerd_version }}/{{ containerd_archive_base }}"

# containerd systemd service settings
containerd_service_settings:
"ExecStartPre": "{{ modprobe_location }} overlay"
"ExecStart": "{{ containerd_binary_directory }}/containerd"
"Restart": "always"
"RestartSec": "5"
"Type": "notify"
"Delegate": "yes"
"KillMode": "process"
"OOMScoreAdjust": "-999"
"LimitNOFILE": "1048576"

# Content of configuration file of "containerd". The settings below are the
# settings that are different to the default "containerd" settings.
#
# The default "containerd" configuration can be generated with this command:
#
# containerd config default
#
# Difference to default configuration:
#
# - The configuration file contains a few role variables that will be replaced when
# the configuration template is processed.
# - In 'plugins."io.containerd.grpc.v1.cri".containerd.runtimes.runc.options' the
# setting "SystemdCgroup" is set to "true" instead of "false". This is relevant for
# Kubernetes e.g. Also see:
# https://kubernetes.io/docs/setup/production-environment/container-runtimes/#containerd-systemd)

## Dependencies

Optional dependencies (e.g. needed for Kubernetes):

- [runc](https://github.com/githubixx/ansible-role-runc)
- [CNI](https://github.com/githubixx/ansible-role-cni)

You can use every other `runc` and `CNI` role of course.

## Example Playbook

```yaml
- hosts: your-host
roles:
- githubixx.containerd
```

More examples are available in the [Molecule tests](https://github.com/githubixx/ansible-role-containerd/tree/master/molecule/kvm).

## Testing

This role has a small test setup that is created using [Molecule](https://github.com/ansible-community/molecule), libvirt (vagrant-libvirt) and QEMU/KVM. Please see my blog post [Testing Ansible roles with Molecule, libvirt (vagrant-libvirt) and QEMU/KVM](https://www.tauceti.blog/posts/testing-ansible-roles-with-molecule-libvirt-vagrant-qemu-kvm/) how to setup. The test configuration is [here](https://github.com/githubixx/ansible-role-containerd/tree/master/molecule/kvm).

Afterwards molecule can be executed:

```bash
molecule converge
```

This will setup a few virtual machines (VM) with different supported Linux operating systems and installs `containerd`, `runc` and the `CNI` plugins (which are needed by Kubernetes e.g.).

A small verification step is also included. It pulls a nginx container and runs it to make sure that `containerd` is setup correctly and is able to run container images:

```bash
molecule verify
```

To clean up run

```bash
molecule destroy
```
