Container Example

Very basic example of launching a Linux container using Containerization.

Build and Run

1. Fetch Kernel

In your terminal, change directories to examples/ctr-example and run make fetch-default-kernel

You should now see the vmlinux image in examples/ctr-example

2. Build/Run ctr-example

From examples/ctr-example run make all

Warning

If you get the following error, try building from the default macOS terminal: error: compiled module was created by a newer version of the compiler

After the build completes, the example will run. In your terminal you should see something like:

Starting container example...
Fetching container initial filesystem...
Creating container from docker.io/library/alpine:3.16...
Starting container...
/ #

Congratulations, you've started the example container!
