Conversion to OCI Runtime Configuration

When extracting an OCI Image into an OCI Runtime bundle, two orthogonal components of the extraction are relevant:

  1. Extraction of the root filesystem from the set of filesystem layers.
  2. Conversion of the image configuration blob to an OCI Runtime configuration blob.

This section defines how to convert an application/vnd.oci.image.config.v1+json blob to an OCI runtime configuration blob (the latter component of extraction). The former component of extraction is defined elsewhere and is orthogonal to configuration of a runtime bundle. The values of runtime configuration properties not specified by this document are implementation-defined.

A converter MUST rely on the OCI image configuration to build the OCI runtime configuration as described by this document; this will create the "default generated runtime configuration".

The "default generated runtime configuration" MAY be overridden or combined with externally provided inputs from the caller. In addition, a converter MAY have its own implementation-defined defaults and extensions which MAY be combined with the "default generated runtime configuration". The restrictions in this document refer only to combining implementation-defined defaults with the "default generated runtime configuration". Externally provided inputs are considered to be a modification of the application/vnd.oci.image.config.v1+json used as a source, and such modifications have no restrictions.

For example, externally provided inputs MAY cause an environment variable to be added, removed or changed. However an implementation-defined default SHOULD NOT result in an environment variable being removed or changed.

Verbatim Fields

Certain image configuration fields have an identical counterpart in the runtime configuration. Some of these are purely annotation-based fields, and have been extracted into a separate subsection. A compliant configuration converter MUST extract the following fields verbatim to the corresponding field in the generated runtime configuration:

Image Field Runtime Field Notes
Config.WorkingDir process.cwd
Config.Env process.env 1
Config.Entrypoint process.args 2
Config.Cmd process.args 2
  1. The converter MAY add additional entries to process.env but it SHOULD NOT add entries that have variable names present in Config.Env.
  2. If both Config.Entrypoint and Config.Cmd are specified, the converter MUST append the value of Config.Cmd to the value of Config.Entrypoint and set process.args to that combined value.

Annotation Fields

These fields all affect the annotations of the runtime configuration, and are thus subject to precedence.

Image Field Runtime Field Notes
author annotations 1,2
created annotations 1,3
Config.Labels annotations
Config.StopSignal annotations 1,4
  1. If a user has explicitly specified this annotation with Config.Labels, then the value specified in this field takes lower precedence and the converter MUST instead use the value from Config.Labels.
  2. The value of this field MUST be set as the value of org.opencontainers.image.author in annotations.
  3. The value of this field MUST be set as the value of org.opencontainers.image.created in annotations.
  4. The value of this field MUST be set as the value of org.opencontainers.image.stopSignal in annotations.

Parsed Fields

Certain image configuration fields have a counterpart that must first be translated. A compliant configuration converter SHOULD parse all of these fields and set the corresponding fields in the generated runtime configuration:

Image Field Runtime Field
Config.User process.user.*

The method of parsing the above image fields are described in the following sections.

Config.User

If the values of user or group in Config.User are numeric (uid or gid) then the values MUST be copied verbatim to process.user.uid and process.user.gid respectively. If the values of user or group in Config.User are not numeric (user or group) then a converter SHOULD resolve the user information using a method appropriate for the container's context. For Unix-like systems, this MAY involve resolution through NSS or parsing /etc/passwd from the extracted container's root filesystem to determine the values of process.user.uid and process.user.gid.

In addition, a converter SHOULD set the value of process.user.additionalGids to a value corresponding to the user in the container's context described by Config.User. For Unix-like systems, this MAY involve resolution through NSS or parsing /etc/group and determining the group memberships of the user specified in process.user.uid. If the value of user in Config.User is numeric, the converter SHOULD NOT modify process.user.additionalGids.

If Config.User is not defined, the converted process.user value is implementation-defined. If Config.User does not correspond to a user in the container's context, the converter MUST return an error.

Optional Fields

Certain image configuration fields are not applicable to all conversion use cases, and thus are optional for configuration converters to implement. A compliant configuration converter SHOULD provide a way for users to extract these fields into the generated runtime configuration:

Image Field Runtime Field Notes
Config.ExposedPorts annotations 1
Config.Volumes mounts 2
  1. The runtime configuration does not have a corresponding field for this image field. However, converters SHOULD set the org.opencontainers.image.exposedPorts annotation.
  2. Implementations SHOULD provide mounts for these locations such that application data is not written to the container's root filesystem. If a converter implements conversion for this field using mountpoints, it SHOULD set the destination of the mountpoint to the value specified in Config.Volumes. An implementation MAY seed the contents of the mount with data in the image at the same location. If a new image is created from a container based on the image described by this configuration, data in these paths SHOULD NOT be included in the new image. The other mounts fields are platform and context dependent, and thus are implementation-defined. Note that the implementation of Config.Volumes need not use mountpoints, as it is effectively a mask of the filesystem.

Config.ExposedPorts

The OCI runtime configuration does not provide a way of expressing the concept of "container exposed ports". However, converters SHOULD set the org.opencontainers.image.exposedPorts annotation, unless doing so will cause a conflict.

org.opencontainers.image.exposedPorts is the list of values that correspond to the keys defined for Config.ExposedPorts (string, comma-separated values).

Annotations

There are three ways of annotating an OCI image in this specification:

  1. Config.Labels in the configuration of the image.
  2. annotations in the manifest of the image.
  3. annotations in the image index of the image.

In addition, there are also implicit annotations that are defined by this section which are determined from the values of the image configuration. A converter SHOULD NOT attempt to extract annotations from manifests or image indices. If there is a conflict (same key but different value) between an implicit annotation (or annotation in manifests or image indices) and an explicitly specified annotation in Config.Labels, the value specified in Config.Labels MUST take precedence.

A converter MAY add annotations which have keys not specified in the image. A converter MUST NOT modify the values of annotations specified in the image.
