Plankton

Plankton is a simple CLI tool to create containers according to the OCI spec.

This project is under development and is not usable yet. Make sure you follow the updates. Contributions are welcome!

Setting up locally

Make sure you have rust 1.34+ and cargo installed.

Clone the repository and go to the project directory:

$ git clone https://github.com/bernardolins/plankton.git
$ cd plankton

Use cargo to run the tests and build the project:

$ cargo test
$ cargo build

Plankton does not have a release yet. Make sure you follow the steps bellow before trying to run the project.

You will need an OCI bundle to run plankton. For now, you can create the bundle just like runc does.

From the project directory, create a container using the bundle:

  # target/debug/plankton run mycontainer -b /path/to/bundle

You can check the container state:

# target/debug/plankton query mycontainer
{
  "bundle": "/opt/plankton",
  "id": "mycontainer",
  "pid": 21496,
  "status": "stopped"
}
