From source build runsc with Podman not Docker
Description
Is there any way to build runsc with Podman instead of Docker?
There is nothing specific to Docker in runsc. Both Podman and Docker create containers using a common interface: OCI runtime interface. This interface is implemented by runC to create containers as processes in Linux. While runsc implements it by creating containers inside a gVisor sandbox. I don't have experience with Podman, but as long as Podman complies to the runtime interface, runsc will work. I found some information below about how to configure Podman to use different runtimes:
https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/podman/libpod.conf.5.en.html https://serverfault.com/questions/989509/how-can-i-change-the-oci-runtime-in-podman
Please give it a try and feel free to create more issues if anything doesn't work.
I know how to use gvisor in podman, but I'm talking about whether docker in https://github.com/google/gvisor#installing-from-source can be replaced by podman, and if not, is it considered to add support in the future?
I need to compile from source because I want to try to package gVisor from source and pass all the tests, but since docker will break my network environment I try to use podman
I see what you mean now. You can build using Bazel directly, e.g. bazel build runsc. Or you set DOCKER_BUILD=false if you'd like to continue to use make. You could look into making docker/podman configurable in bazel.mk.
Could you please reopen this issue? I can't solve this problem at the moments.
Why you need passthrough options when building from source with docker https://github.com/google/gvisor/blob/master/tools/bazel.mk#L112
