About

LXC is a userspace interface for the Linux kernel containment features. Through a powerful API and simple tools, it lets Linux users easily create and manage system or application containers. LXC containers are often considered as something in the middle between a chroot and a full fledged virtual machine. The goal of LXC is to create an environment as close as possible to a standard Linux installation but without the need for a separate kernel. LXC is free software, most of the code is released under the terms of the GNU LGPLv2.1+ license, some Android compatibility bits are released under a standard 2-clause BSD license and some binaries and templates are released under the GNU GPLv2 license. LXC's stable release support relies on the Linux distributions and their own commitment to pushing stable fixes and security updates.

About

CLI tool for spawning and running containers according to the OCI specification. runc only supports Linux. It must be built with Go version 1.17 or higher. In order to enable seccomp support, you will need to install libseccomp on your platform. runc supports optional build tags for compiling support of various features, with some of them enabled by default. runc currently supports running its test suite via Docker. To run the suite just type make test. There are additional make targets for running the tests outside of a container but this is not recommended as the tests are written with the expectation that they can write and remove anywhere. You can run a specific test case by setting the TESTFLAGS variable. You can run a specific integration test by setting the TESTPATH variable. You can run a specific rootless integration test by setting the ROOTLESS_TESTPATH variable. Please note that runc is a low-level tool not designed with an end-user in mind.
