  • Podman/buildah oci bundle

    But there is another issue - machinectl doesn't know how to start oci-bundle. It would be nice to have a tool which would generate .nspawn file from config.json (apparrently, there is an open issue for that https://github.com/opencontainers/runtime-tools/issues/669)
  • Youki, a container runtime in Rust, passed all the default tests provided by opencontainers.

    I think you might be looking at the gitignore for https://github.com/opencontainers/runtime-tools/blob/master/.gitignore , which is NOT the repo made by /u/utam0k. That's a large repo from opencontainers that includes many different things, so that .gitignore is bigger but by no means unreasonable.

    youki, a container runtime in Rust I'm implementing, passed all the default tests provided by opencontainers. There are still many issues that need to be implemented, but it's getting fun. I think Rust to be a good choice for implementing container utilities. If you are interested, please refer to the motivation section of README for more details. I'd like to hear your opinions.
  • Crun: Fully featured OCI runtime and C library for running containers
    7 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 30 Jan 2021
    crun runs the OCI validations tests on each PR.

    The tests are maintained here: https://github.com/opencontainers/runtime-tools/tree/master/...

    I guess this is the closest to be "certified compliant", but that is not enough for working with existing container engines as everyone just assumes runc is used

  • Using "Non-Executing Containers"
    1 project | /r/kubernetes | 8 Mar 2022
    Or you can low-level OCI tooling. I would bet there is a tool for that. https://github.com/opencontainers/image-tools
  • Podman/buildah oci bundle
    4 projects | /r/podman | 30 Dec 2021
    Thanks, that one also generates oci image (not oci bundle). Apparently, there are couple of other tools which can be used to generate oci bundle: umoci (https://github.com/opencontainers/umoci) and image-tools (https://github.com/opencontainers/image-tools).

What are some alternatives?

When comparing runtime-tools and image-tools you can also consider the following projects:

crun - A fast and lightweight fully featured OCI runtime and C library for running containers

umoci - umoci modifies Open Container images

singularity - Singularity has been renamed to Apptainer as part of us moving the project to the Linux Foundation. This repo has been persisted as a snapshot right before the changes.

clair - Vulnerability Static Analysis for Containers

containerd - An open and reliable container runtime

youki - An experimental container runtime written in Rust

gvisor - Application Kernel for Containers

runtime-spec - OCI Runtime Specification

runc - CLI tool for spawning and running containers according to the OCI specification
