fuse-overlayfs snapshotter plugin for containerd

Unlike overlayfs, fuse-overlayfs can be used as a non-root user on almost all recent distros.

You do NOT need this fuse-overlayfs plugin on the following environments, because they support the real overlayfs for non-root users:

fuse-overlayfs-snapshotter is a non-core sub-project of containerd.

Requirements

  • kernel >= 4.18
  • containerd >= 1.4
  • fuse-overlayfs >= 0.7.0

Setup

Two installation options are supported:

  1. Embed fuse-overlayfs plugin into the containerd binary
  2. Execute fuse-overlayfs plugin as a separate binary

Choose 1 if you don't mind recompiling containerd, otherwise choose 2.

Option 1: Embed fuse-overlayfs plugin into the containerd binary

Create builtins_fuseoverlayfs_linux.go under $GOPATH/src/github.com/containerd/containerd/cmd/containerd with the following content, and recompile the containerd binary:

package main

import _ "github.com/containerd/fuse-overlayfs-snapshotter/plugin"

No extra configuration is needed.

See https://github.com/containerd/containerd/blob/master/docs/rootless.md for how to run containerd as a non-root user.

Option 2: Execute fuse-overlayfs plugin as a separate binary

"Easy way"

The easiest way is to use containerd-rootless-setuptool.sh included in nerdctl.

$ containerd-rootless-setuptool.sh install
$ containerd-rootless-setuptool.sh install-fuse-overlayfs
[INFO] Creating "/home/exampleuser/.config/systemd/user/containerd-fuse-overlayfs.service"
...
[INFO] Installed "containerd-fuse-overlayfs.service" successfully.
[INFO] To control "containerd-fuse-overlayfs.service", run: `systemctl --user (start|stop|restart) containerd-fuse-overlayfs.service`
[INFO] Add the following lines to "/home/exampleuser/.config/containerd/config.toml" manually:
### BEGIN ###
[proxy_plugins]
  [proxy_plugins."fuse-overlayfs"]
    type = "snapshot"
    address = "/run/user/1000/containerd-fuse-overlayfs.sock"
###  END  ###
[INFO] Set `export CONTAINERD_SNAPSHOTTER="fuse-overlayfs"` to use the fuse-overlayfs snapshotter.

Add the [proxy_plugins."fuse-overlayfs"] configuration shown above to ~/.config/containerd/config.toml. "1000" needs to be replaced with your actual UID.

"Hard way"

Click here to show the "hard way"

  • Install containerd-fuse-overlayfs-grpc binary. The binary will be installed under $DESTDIR/bin.
$ make && DESTDIR=$HOME make install
  • Create the following configuration in ~/.config/containerd/config.toml:
version = 2
# substitute "/home/suda" with your own $HOME
root = "/home/suda/.local/share/containerd"
# substitute "/run/user/1001" with your own $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
state = "/run/user/1001/containerd"

[grpc]
  address = "/run/user/1001/containerd/containerd.sock"

[proxy_plugins]
  [proxy_plugins."fuse-overlayfs"]
    type = "snapshot"
    address = "/run/user/1001/containerd/fuse-overlayfs.sock"
  • Start RootlessKit with sleep infinity (or any kind of "pause" command):
$ rootlesskit \
  --net=slirp4netns --disable-host-loopback \
  --copy-up=/etc --copy-up=/run \
  --state-dir=$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/rootlesskit-containerd \
  sh -c "rm -rf /run/containerd ; sleep infinity"

(Note: rm -rf /run/containerd is a workaround for containerd/containerd#2767)

  • Enter the RootlessKit namespaces and run containerd-fuse-overlayfs-grpc:
$ nsenter -U --preserve-credentials -m -n -t $(cat $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/rootlesskit-containerd/child_pid) \
  containerd-fuse-overlayfs-grpc $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/containerd/fuse-overlayfs.sock $HOME/.local/share/containerd-fuse-overlayfs
  • Enter the same namespaces and run containerd:
$ nsenter -U --preserve-credentials -m -n -t $(cat $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/rootlesskit-containerd/child_pid) \
  containerd -c $HOME/.config/containerd/config.toml

Usage

$ export CONTAINERD_SNAPSHOTTER=fuse-overlayfs
$ nerdctl run ...

How to test

To run the test as a non-root user, RootlessKit needs to be installed.

$ go test -exec rootlesskit -test.v -test.root
