oci-runtime-tool

oci-runtime-tool is a collection of tools for working with the OCI runtime specification. To build from source code, runtime-tools requires Go 1.19.x or above.

Generating an OCI runtime spec configuration files

oci-runtime-tool generate generates configuration JSON for an OCI bundle. OCI-compatible runtimes like runC expect to read the configuration from config.json.

$ oci-runtime-tool generate --output config.json
$ cat config.json
{
        "ociVersion": "0.5.0",
        …
}

Validating an OCI bundle

oci-runtime-tool validate validates an OCI bundle. The error message will be printed if the OCI bundle failed the validation procedure.

$ oci-runtime-tool generate
$ oci-runtime-tool validate
INFO[0000] Bundle validation succeeded.

Testing OCI runtimes

The runtime validation suite uses node-tap, which is packaged for some distributions (for example, it is in Debian's node-tap package). If your distribution does not package node-tap, you can install npm (for example, from Gentoo's nodejs package) and use it:

$ npm install tap

Build the validation executables:

$ make runtimetest validation-executables

Runtime validation currently only supports the OCI Runtime Command Line Interface. If we add support for alternative APIs in the future, runtime validation will gain an option to select the desired runtime API. For the command line interface, the RUNTIME option selects the runtime command (funC in the OCI Runtime Command Line Interface).

You can also run an individual test executable directly:

$ sudo RUNTIME=runc validation/default/default.t
TAP version 13
ok 1 - has expected hostname
  ---
  {
    "actual": "mrsdalloway",
    "expected": "mrsdalloway"
  }
  ...
…
ok 287 # SKIP linux.gidMappings not set
1..287

If you cannot install node-tap, you can probably run the test suite with another TAP consumer. For example, with prove:

$ sudo make TAPTOOL='prove -Q -j9' RUNTIME=runc VALIDATION_TESTS=validation/pidfile/pidfile.t localvalidation
RUNTIME=runc prove -Q -j9 validation/pidfile.t
All tests successful.
