[![GoDoc](https://godoc.org/github.com/opencontainers/runc/libcontainer?status.svg)](https://godoc.org/github.com/opencontainers/runc/libcontainer)
|
|
|
|
Libcontainer provides a native Go implementation for creating containers
|
|
with namespaces, cgroups, capabilities, and filesystem access controls.
|
|
It allows you to manage the lifecycle of the container performing additional operations
|
|
after the container is created.
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Container
|
|
A container is a self contained execution environment that shares the kernel of the
|
|
host system and which is (optionally) isolated from other containers in the system.
|
|
|
|
#### Using libcontainer
|
|
|
|
Because containers are spawned in a two step process you will need a binary that
|
|
will be executed as the init process for the container. In libcontainer, we use
|
|
the current binary (/proc/self/exe) to be executed as the init process, and use
|
|
arg "init", we call the first step process "bootstrap", so you always need a "init"
|
|
function as the entry of "bootstrap".
|
|
|
|
In addition to the go init function the early stage bootstrap is handled by importing
|
|
[nsenter](https://github.com/opencontainers/runc/blob/master/libcontainer/nsenter/README.md).
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
import (
|
|
_ "github.com/opencontainers/runc/libcontainer/nsenter"
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
func init() {
|
|
if len(os.Args) > 1 && os.Args[1] == "init" {
|
|
runtime.GOMAXPROCS(1)
|
|
runtime.LockOSThread()
|
|
factory, _ := libcontainer.New("")
|
|
if err := factory.StartInitialization(); err != nil {
|
|
logrus.Fatal(err)
|
|
}
|
|
panic("--this line should have never been executed, congratulations--")
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then to create a container you first have to initialize an instance of a factory
|
|
that will handle the creation and initialization for a container.
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
factory, err := libcontainer.New("/var/lib/container", libcontainer.Cgroupfs, libcontainer.InitArgs(os.Args[0], "init"))
|
|
if err != nil {
|
|
logrus.Fatal(err)
|
|
return
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Once you have an instance of the factory created we can create a configuration
|
|
struct describing how the container is to be created. A sample would look similar to this:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
defaultMountFlags := unix.MS_NOEXEC | unix.MS_NOSUID | unix.MS_NODEV
|
|
config := &configs.Config{

},

},
|

}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Once you have the configuration populated you can create a container:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
container, err := factory.Create("container-id", config)
|
|
if err != nil {
|
|
logrus.Fatal(err)
|
|
return
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To spawn bash as the initial process inside the container and have the
|
|
processes pid returned in order to wait, signal, or kill the process:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
process := &libcontainer.Process{
|
|
Args: []string{"/bin/bash"},
|
|
Env: []string{"PATH=/bin"},
|
|
User: "daemon",
|
|
Stdin: os.Stdin,
|
|
Stdout: os.Stdout,
|
|
Stderr: os.Stderr,
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
err := container.Run(process)
|
|
if err != nil {
|
|
container.Destroy()
|
|
logrus.Fatal(err)
|
|
return
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// wait for the process to finish.
|
|
_, err := process.Wait()
|
|
if err != nil {
|
|
logrus.Fatal(err)
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// destroy the container.
|
|
container.Destroy()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Additional ways to interact with a running container are:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
// return all the pids for all processes running inside the container.
|
|
processes, err := container.Processes()
|
|
|
|
// get detailed cpu, memory, io, and network statistics for the container and
|
|
// it's processes.
|
|
stats, err := container.Stats()
|
|
|
|
// pause all processes inside the container.
|
|
container.Pause()
|
|
|
|
// resume all paused processes.
|
|
container.Resume()
|
|
|
|
// send signal to container's init process.
|
|
container.Signal(signal)
|
|
|
|
// update container resource constraints.
|
|
container.Set(config)
|
|
|
|
// get current status of the container.
|
|
status, err := container.Status()
|
|
|
|
// get current container's state information.
|
|
state, err := container.State()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Checkpoint & Restore
|
|
|
|
libcontainer now integrates [CRIU](http://criu.org/) for checkpointing and restoring containers.
|
|
This let's you save the state of a process running inside a container to disk, and then restore
|
|
that state into a new process, on the same machine or on another machine.
|
|
|
|
`criu` version 1.5.2 or higher is required to use checkpoint and restore.
|
|
If you don't already have `criu` installed, you can build it from source, following the
|
|
[online instructions](http://criu.org/Installation). `criu` is also installed in the docker image
|
|
generated when building libcontainer with docker.
