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.
containerd is a member of CNCF with ['graduated'](https://landscape.cncf.io/selected=containerd) status.
containerd is designed to be embedded into a larger system, rather than being used directly by developers or end-users.
## Now Recruiting
We are a large inclusive OSS project that is welcoming help of any kind shape or form:
* Documentation help is needed to make the product easier to consume and extend.
* We need OSS community outreach / organizing help to get the word out; manage
and create messaging and educational content; and to help with social media, community forums/groups, and google groups.
* We are actively inviting new [security advisors](https://github.com/containerd/project/blob/main/GOVERNANCE.md#security-advisors) to join the team.
* New sub-projects are being created, core and non-core that could use additional development help.
* Each of the [containerd projects](https://github.com/containerd) has a list of issues currently being worked on or that need help resolving.
- If the issue has not already been assigned to someone, or has not made recent progress and you are interested, please inquire.
- If you are interested in starting with a smaller / beginner level issue, look for issues with an `exp/beginner` tag, for example [containerd/containerd beginner issues.](https://github.com/containerd/containerd/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Aexp%2Fbeginner)
## Getting Started
See our documentation on [containerd.io](https://containerd.io):
* [for ops and admins](docs/ops.md)
* [namespaces](docs/namespaces.md)
* [client options](docs/client-opts.md)
See how to build containerd from source at [BUILDING](BUILDING.md).
If you are interested in trying out containerd see our example at [Getting Started](docs/getting-started.md).
## Nightly builds
There are nightly builds available for download [here](https://github.com/containerd/containerd/actions?query=workflow%3ANightly).
Binaries are generated from `main` branch every night for `Linux` and `Windows`.
Please be aware: nightly builds might have critical bugs, it's not recommended for use in production and no support provided.
## Runtime Requirements
Runtime requirements for containerd are very minimal. Most interactions with
the Linux and Windows container feature sets are handled via [runc](https://github.com/opencontainers/runc) and/or
OS-specific libraries (e.g. [hcsshim](https://github.com/Microsoft/hcsshim) for Microsoft).
The current required version of `runc` is described in [RUNC.md](docs/RUNC.md).
There are specific features
used by containerd core code and snapshotters that will require a minimum kernel
version on Linux. With the understood caveat of distro kernel versioning, a
reasonable starting point for Linux is a minimum 4.x kernel version.
The overlay filesystem snapshotter, used by default, uses features that were
finalized in the 4.x kernel series. If you choose to use btrfs, there may
be more flexibility in kernel version (minimum recommended is 3.18), but will
require the btrfs kernel module and btrfs tools to be installed on your Linux
distribution.
To use Linux checkpoint and restore features, you will need `criu` installed on
your system. See more details in [Checkpoint and Restore](#checkpoint-and-restore).
Build requirements for developers are listed in [BUILDING](BUILDING.md).
## Supported Registries
Any registry which is compliant with the [OCI Distribution Specification](https://github.com/opencontainers/distribution-spec)
is supported by containerd.
For configuring registries, see [registry host configuration documentation](docs/hosts.md)
## Features
### Client
containerd offers a full client package to help you integrate containerd into your platform.
```go
import (
"context"
"github.com/containerd/containerd"
"github.com/containerd/containerd/cio"
"github.com/containerd/containerd/namespaces"
)
func main() {
client, err := containerd.New("/run/containerd/containerd.sock")
defer client.Close()
}
```
### Namespaces
Namespaces allow multiple consumers to use the same containerd without conflicting with each other. It has the benefit of sharing content but still having separation with containers and images.
To set a namespace for requests to the API:
```go
context = context.Background()
// create a context for docker
docker = namespaces.WithNamespace(context, "docker")
containerd, err := client.NewContainer(docker, "id")
```
To set a default namespace on the client:
```go
client, err := containerd.New(address, containerd.WithDefaultNamespace("docker"))
```
### Distribution
```go
// pull an image
image, err := client.Pull(context, "docker.io/library/redis:latest")
// push an image
err := client.Push(context, "docker.io/library/redis:latest", image.Target())
```
### Containers
In containerd, a container is a metadata object. Resources such as an OCI runtime specification, image, root filesystem, and other metadata can be attached to a container.
```go
redis, err := client.NewContainer(context, "redis-master")
defer redis.Delete(context)
```
### OCI Runtime Specification
containerd fully supports the OCI runtime specification for running containers. We have built in functions to help you generate runtime specifications based on images as well as custom parameters.
You can specify options when creating a container about how to modify the specification.
```go
redis, err := client.NewContainer(context, "redis-master", containerd.WithNewSpec(oci.WithImageConfig(image)))
```
### Root Filesystems
containerd allows you to use overlay or snapshot filesystems with your containers. It comes with built in support for overlayfs and btrfs.
```go
// pull an image and unpack it into the configured snapshotter
image, err := client.Pull(context, "docker.io/library/redis:latest", containerd.WithPullUnpack)
// allocate a new RW root filesystem for a container based on the image
redis, err := client.NewContainer(context, "redis-master",
containerd.WithNewSnapshot("redis-rootfs", image),
containerd.WithNewSpec(oci.WithImageConfig(image)),
)
// use a readonly filesystem with multiple containers
for i := 0; i < 10; i++ {
id := fmt.Sprintf("id-%s", i)
container, err := client.NewContainer(ctx, id,
containerd.WithNewSnapshotView(id, image),
containerd.WithNewSpec(oci.WithImageConfig(image)),
)
}
```
### Tasks
Taking a container object and turning it into a runnable process on a system is done by creating a new `Task` from the container. A task represents the runnable object within containerd.
```go
// create a new task
task, err := redis.NewTask(context, cio.NewCreator(cio.WithStdio))
defer task.Delete(context)
// the task is now running and has a pid that can be used to setup networking
// or other runtime settings outside of containerd
pid := task.Pid()
// start the redis-server process inside the container
err := task.Start(context)
// wait for the task to exit and get the exit status
status, err := task.Wait(context)
```
### Checkpoint and Restore
If you have [criu](https://criu.org/Main_Page) installed on your machine you can checkpoint and restore containers and their tasks. This allows you to clone and/or live migrate containers to other machines.
```go
// checkpoint the task then push it to a registry
checkpoint, err := task.Checkpoint(context)
err := client.Push(context, "myregistry/checkpoints/redis:master", checkpoint)
// on a new machine pull the checkpoint and restore the redis container
checkpoint, err := client.Pull(context, "myregistry/checkpoints/redis:master")
redis, err = client.NewContainer(context, "redis-master", containerd.WithNewSnapshot("redis-rootfs", checkpoint))
defer container.Delete(context)
task, err = redis.NewTask(context, cio.NewCreator(cio.WithStdio), containerd.WithTaskCheckpoint(checkpoint))
defer task.Delete(context)
err := task.Start(context)
```
### Snapshot Plugins
In addition to the built-in Snapshot plugins in containerd, additional external
plugins can be configured using GRPC. An external plugin is made available using
the configured name and appears as a plugin alongside the built-in ones.
To add an external snapshot plugin, add the plugin to containerd's config file
(by default at `/etc/containerd/config.toml`). The string following
`proxy_plugin.` will be used as the name of the snapshotter and the address
should refer to a socket with a GRPC listener serving containerd's Snapshot
GRPC API. Remember to restart containerd for any configuration changes to take
effect.
```
[proxy_plugins]
[proxy_plugins.customsnapshot]
type = "snapshot"
address = "/var/run/mysnapshotter.sock"
```
See [PLUGINS.md](/docs/PLUGINS.md) for how to create plugins
### Releases and API Stability
Please see [RELEASES.md](RELEASES.md) for details on versioning and stability
of containerd components.
Downloadable 64-bit Intel/AMD binaries of all official releases are available on
our [releases page](https://github.com/containerd/containerd/releases).
For other architectures and distribution support, you will find that many
Linux distributions package their own containerd and provide it across several
architectures, such as [Canonical's Ubuntu packaging](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/bionic/+package/containerd).
#### Enabling command auto-completion
Starting with containerd 1.4, the urfave client feature for auto-creation of bash and zsh
autocompletion data is enabled. To use the autocomplete feature in a bash shell for example, source
the autocomplete/ctr file in your `.bashrc`, or manually like:
```
$ source ./contrib/autocomplete/ctr
```
#### Distribution of `ctr` autocomplete for bash and zsh
For bash, copy the `contrib/autocomplete/ctr` script into
`/etc/bash_completion.d/` and rename it to `ctr`. The `zsh_autocomplete`
file is also available and can be used similarly for zsh users.
Provide documentation to users to `source` this file into their shell if
you don't place the autocomplete file in a location where it is automatically
loaded for the user's shell environment.
### CRI
`cri` is a [containerd](https://containerd.io/) plugin implementation of the Kubernetes [container runtime interface (CRI)](https://github.com/kubernetes/cri-api/blob/master/pkg/apis/runtime/v1alpha2/api.proto). With it, you are able to use containerd as the container runtime for a Kubernetes cluster.
#### CRI Status
`cri` is a native plugin of containerd. Since containerd 1.1, the cri plugin is built into the release binaries and enabled by default.
> **Note:** As of containerd 1.5, the `cri` plugin is merged into the containerd/containerd repo. For example, the source code previously stored under [`containerd/cri/pkg`](https://github.com/containerd/cri/tree/release/1.4/pkg)
was moved to [`containerd/containerd/pkg/cri` package](https://github.com/containerd/containerd/tree/main/pkg/cri).
The `cri` plugin has reached GA status, representing that it is:
* Feature complete
* Works with Kubernetes 1.10 and above
* Passes all [CRI validation tests](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/contributors/devel/sig-node/cri-validation.md).
* Passes all [node e2e tests](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/contributors/devel/sig-node/e2e-node-tests.md).
* Passes all [e2e tests](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/contributors/devel/sig-testing/e2e-tests.md).
See results on the containerd k8s [test dashboard](https://k8s-testgrid.appspot.com/sig-node-containerd)
#### Validating Your `cri` Setup
A Kubernetes incubator project, [cri-tools](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/cri-tools), includes programs for exercising CRI implementations. More importantly, cri-tools includes the program `critest` which is used for running [CRI Validation Testing](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/contributors/devel/sig-node/cri-validation.md).
