A fast and low-memory footprint OCI Container Runtime fully written in C. While most of the tools used in the Linux containers ecosystem are written in Go, I believe C is a better fit for a lower-level tool like container runtime. runc, the most used implementation of the OCI runtime specs written in Go, re-execs itself and uses a module written in C for setting up the environment before the container process starts. crun aims to be also usable as a library that can be easily included in programs without requiring an external process for managing OCI containers.

Features

  • Low-memory footprint OCI Container Runtime fully written in C
  • Documentation available
  • Examples available
  • Crun is faster than runc and has a much lower memory footprint
  • Python is needed only by libocispec to generate the C parser at build time
  • Shared Libraries
