imgcrypt image encryption library and command line lool

Project imgcrypt is a non-core subproject of containerd.

The imgcrypt library provides API exensions for containerd to support encryted container images and implements the ctd-decoder command line tool for use by containerd to decrypt encrypted container images. An extended version of containerd's ctr tool (`ctr-enc') with support for encrypting and decrypting container images is also provided.

imgcrypt relies on the ocicrypt library for crypto functions on image layers.

Usage

imgcrypt requires containerd 1.3 or later.

Build and install imgcrypt:

# make
# sudo make install

Start containerd with a configuration file that looks as follows. To avoid interference with a containerd from a Docker installation we use /tmp for directories. Also, we build containerd 1.3 from the source but do not install it.

# cat config.toml
disable_plugins = ["cri"]
root = "/tmp/var/lib/containerd"
state = "/tmp/run/containerd"
[grpc]
  address = "/tmp/run/containerd/mycontainerd.sock"
  uid = 0
  gid = 0
[stream_processors]
    [stream_processors."io.containerd.ocicrypt.decoder.v1.tar.gzip"]
        accepts = ["application/vnd.oci.image.layer.v1.tar+gzip+encrypted"]
        returns = "application/vnd.oci.image.layer.v1.tar+gzip"
        path = "/usr/local/bin/ctd-decoder"
    [stream_processors."io.containerd.ocicrypt.decoder.v1.tar"]
        accepts = ["application/vnd.oci.image.layer.v1.tar+encrypted"]
        returns = "application/vnd.oci.image.layer.v1.tar"
        path = "/usr/local/bin/ctd-decoder"

Start a local image registry so we can push the encrypted image to it. A recent versions of the registry is required to accept encrypted container images.

# docker pull registry:latest
# docker run -d -p 5000:5000 --restart=always --name registry registry

Push the encrypted image to the local registry, pull it using ctr-enc, and then run the image.

# $CTR images tag bash.enc:latest localhost:5000/bash.enc:latest
# $CTR images push localhost:5000/bash.enc:latest
# $CTR images rm localhost:5000/bash.enc:latest bash.enc:latest
# $CTR images pull localhost:5000/bash.enc:latest
# sudo $CTR run --rm localhost:5000/bash.enc:latest test echo 'Hello World!'
ctr: you are not authorized to use this image: missing private key needed for decryption
# sudo $CTR run --rm --key mykey.pem localhost:5000/bash.enc:latest test echo 'Hello World!'
Hello World!
