runc

runc is a CLI tool for spawning and running containers according to the OCF specification.

State of the project

Currently runc is an implementation of the OCF specification. We are currently sprinting to have a v1 of the spec out within a quick timeframe of a few weeks, ~July 2015, so the runc config format will be constantly changing until the spec is finalialized. However, we encourage you to try out the tool and give feedback.

Building:

go get -d github.com/opencontainers/runc
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/opencontainers/runc/
make
sudo make install

Using:

To run a container that you received just execute runc run with the JSON format at the argument or have a container.json file in the current working directory.

runc 
/ $ ps
PID   USER     COMMAND
1     daemon   sh
5     daemon   sh
/ $
