Before checkout the examples, make sure that you have built or installed the components described in overlaybd and BUILDING.
This doc includes:
Check whether the overlaybd-tcmu
is running.
For any problems, please checkout overlaybd.
First, you should make sure that '/etc/containerd/config.toml' has been changed and contains the following contents like this:
[proxy_plugins.overlaybd]
type = "snapshot"
address = "/run/overlaybd-snapshotter/overlaybd.sock"
Use ctr
to check the plugin.
# in other terminal
sudo ctr plugin ls | grep overlaybd
sudo ctr snapshot --snapshotter overlaybd ls
If there is no overlaybd plugin, please checkout BUILDING.
The containerd feature supports target snapshot references on prepare is released by v1.4.x.
[Recommend] Now we support to start an overlaybd container by nerdctl
(#603).
$ sudo nerdctl run --net host -it --rm --snapshotter=overlaybd registry.hub.docker.com/overlaybd/redis:6.2.1_obd

And also, you can use ctr
to run this image. However, you should first use the subcommand rpull
in the customized bin/ctr
to pull image
# you will see that the rpull doesn't pull layer data.
sudo bin/ctr rpull registry.hub.docker.com/overlaybd/redis:6.2.1_obd
# start the container
sudo ctr run --net-host --snapshotter=overlaybd --rm -t registry.hub.docker.com/overlaybd/redis:6.2.1_obd demo
After container launched success, we could see a new block device (sdb) has been created, and its mount-point is the lowerdir of overlayfs.
$ sudo lsblk

Overlaybd image convertor helps to convert a normal image to overlaybd-format remote image.
# pull the source image
sudo nerdctl pull registry.hub.docker.com/library/redis:6.2.1
# convert
sudo bin/ctr obdconv registry.hub.docker.com/library/redis:6.2.1 registry.hub.docker.com/overlaybd/redis:6.2.1_obd_new
# push the overlaybd image to registry, then the new converted image can be used as a remote image
sudo nerdctl push registry.hub.docker.com/overlaybd/redis:6.2.1_obd_new
# remove the local overlaybd image
sudo nerdctl rmi registry.hub.docker.com/overlaybd/redis:6.2.1_obd_new
# run
sudo nerdctl run --net host --rm --snapshotter=overlaybd registry.hub.docker.com/overlaybd/redis:6.2.1_obd_new
