libpod - library for running OCI-based containers in Pods
Status: Active Development
What is the scope of this project?
libpod provides a library for applications looking to use the Container Pod concept popularized by Kubernetes. libpod also contains a tool called podman for managing Pods, Containers, and Container Images.
At a high level, the scope of libpod and podman is the following:
- Support multiple image formats including the existing Docker/OCI image formats.
- Support for multiple means to download images including trust & image verification.
- Container image management (managing image layers, overlay filesystems, etc).
- Full management of container lifecycle
- Support for pods to manage groups of containers together
- Resource isolation of containers and pods.
What is not in scope for this project?
- Signing and pushing images to various image storages. See Skopeo.
- Container Runtimes daemons for working with Kubernetes CRIs. See CRI-O. We are working to integrate libpod into CRI-O to share containers and backend code with Podman.
OCI Projects Plans
The plan is to use OCI projects and best of breed libraries for different aspects:
- Runtime: runc (or any OCI compliant runtime) and oci runtime tools to generate the spec
- Images: Image management using containers/image
- Storage: Container and image storage is managed by containers/storage
- Networking: Networking support through use of CNI
- Builds: Builds are supported via Buildah.
- Conmon: Conmon is a tool for monitoring OCI runtimes. It is part of the CRI-O package
Podman Information for Developers
