source-to-image VS crun

You can try and use s2i (source to image) - https://github.com/openshift/source-to-image You deploy container to your cluster that produce another image

Surprised to see it supports source-to-image (S2I). If you're using S2I, you're likely using OpenShift where your development pipeline is figured out for you. You wouldn't be using Shipwright on that platform.

If that's not an option, I unfortunately don't know how to compile source code into an IMG file from github, but I have a feeling that there's quite a few people who are knowledgeable in these matters lurking around this subreddit. The only thing I found was this: https://github.com/openshift/source-to-image but I have no idea how or where exactly to execute the code outlined in the readme below. Looks promising though.

Source-To-Image (S2I) is a toolkit for building images directly from source code without Dockerfile. This tool works well for simple, expected scenarios and workflows but quickly becomes annoying and clumsy if you need little too much customization or if your project doesn't have the expected layout. You might consider using S2I if you are not very confident with Docker yet or if you build your images on OpenShift cluster, as builds with S2I are a built-in feature.

Yep pretty much.

The executables bundle crun (a container runtime)[0], and a fuse implementation of squashfs and overlayfs. Appended to that is a squashfs of the image.

At runtime the squashfs and overlayfs are mounted and the container is started.

On this note, I was really surprised to find Red Hat's OCI runtime is written in C: https://github.com/containers/crun

Is anyone working on a Rust version?

It's interesting that, in light of things like this, you still see large software companies adding support for new components written in non-memory safe languages (e.g. C)

As an example Red Hat OpenShift added support for crun(https://github.com/containers/crun) this year(https://cloud.redhat.com/blog/whats-new-in-red-hat-openshift...), which is written in C as an alternative to runc, which is written in Go(https://github.com/opencontainers/runc)...

Kubernetes needs an OCI runtime to run containers with. Crun is one implementation it can use.

Docker also appears to be able to use crun for it's engine as well. https://github.com/containers/crun/issues/37

crun

Looks like https://github.com/containers/crun/issues/255 - start there.
