NAME¶

umoci raw runtime-config - Generate an OCI runtime configuration for an image

SYNOPSIS¶

umoci raw runtime-config --image=image[:tag] [--rootfs=rootfs] [--rootless] config

umoci raw config --image=image[:tag] [--rootfs=rootfs] [--rootless] config

DESCRIPTION¶

Generate a new OCI runtime configuration from an image, without extracting the rootfs of said image. The configuration is written to the path given by config, overwriting it if it exists already. This is one of the operations done by umoci-unpack(1) when generating the runtime bundle, but because of the overhead of extracting a root filesystem, umoci-unpack(1) is not practical to be used many times if the user doesn't actually want to use the root filesystem. Some fields require a root filesystem as a "source of truth", and a source root filesystem can be specified using --rootfs. The other flags have the same effects as with umoci-unpack(1).

Note however that the output of umoci-raw-runtime-config(1) is not necessarily identical to the output from umoci-unpack(1). This is especially true if --rootfs is not specified, which results in umoci(1) leaving fields in the runtime spec to their defaults if computing their values would require using the root filesystem as a source-of-truth.

OPTIONS¶

The global options are defined in umoci(1).

--image=image[:tag]
The OCI image tag which will be extracted to the bundle. image must be a
path to a valid OCI image and tag must be a valid tag in the image. If
tag is not provided it defaults to "latest".

--rootfs=rootfs
Use rootfs as a secondary source of truth when generating the runtime
configuration (this is especially important for Config.User conversion). If
unspecified, any runtime fields that require a secondary source of truth to
be filled with be left in their default values. This may result in
discrepancies between the output of umoci-unpack(1) and
umoci-raw-runtime-config(1).

--rootless
Generate a rootless container configuration, similar to the configuration
produced by umoci-unpack(1) when provided the --rootless flag.

EXAMPLE¶

The following downloads an image from a docker(1) registry using skopeo(1) and then generates the config.json for that image.

% skopeo copy docker://opensuse/amd64:42.2 oci:image:latest
% umoci raw runtime-config --image image:latest config.json

If a root filesystem is already present, it is possible to specify it with the --rootfs flag. This will source the root filesystem for conversion operations that necessitate it.

% skopeo copy docker://opensuse/amd64:42.2 oci:image:latest
# umoci unpack --image image bundle
% umoci raw runtime-config --image image --rootfs bundle/rootfs config.json
