@ -4,28 +4,33 @@ A non-root user can execute containerd by using [`user_namespaces(7)`](http://ma
For example [RootlessKit](https://github.com/rootless-containers/rootlesskit) can be used for setting up a user namespace (along with mount namespace and optionally network namespace). Please refer to RootlessKit documentation for further information.
See also [Rootless Docker documentation](https://docs.docker.com/engine/security/rootless/).
## Daemon
```console
$ rootlesskit --net=slirp4netns --copy-up=/etc \
$ rootlesskit --net=slirp4netns --copy-up=/etc --copy-up=/run \
--state-dir=/run/user/1001/rootlesskit-containerd \
containerd -c config.toml
sh -c "rm -rf /run/containerd; containerd -c config.toml"
```
* `--net=slirp4netns --copy-up=/etc` is only required when you want to unshare network namespaces
* Depending on the containerd plugin configuration, you may also need to add more `--copy-up` options, e.g. `--copy-up=/run`, which mounts a writable tmpfs on `/run`, with symbolic links to the files under the `/run` on the parent namespace.
* `--copy-up=/DIR` mounts a writable tmpfs on `/DIR` with symbolic links to the files under the `/DIR` on the parent namespace
so that the user can add/remove files under `/DIR` in the mount namespace.
`--copy-up=/etc` and `--copy-up=/run` are needed on typical setup.
Depending on the containerd plugin configuration, you may also need to add more `--copy-up` options.
* `rm -rf /run/containerd` is required for v2 shim as a workaround for [#2767](https://github.com/containerd/containerd/issues/2767).
This command removes the "copied-up" symbolic link to `/run/containerd` on the parent namespace (if exists), which cannot be accessed by non-root users.
The actual `/run/containerd` directory on the host is not affected.
* `--state-dir` is set to a random directory under `/tmp` if unset. RootlessKit writes the PID to a file named `child_pid` under this directory.
* You need to provide `config.toml` with your own path configuration. e.g.
```toml
version = 2
root = "/home/penguin/.local/share/containerd"
state = "/run/user/1001/containerd"
[grpc]
address = "/run/user/1001/containerd/containerd.sock"
[plugins]
[plugins.linux]
runtime_root = "/run/user/1001/containerd/runc"
```

However, [`fuse-overlayfs` snapshotter](https://github.com/AkihiroSuda/containerd-fuse-overlayfs) can be used instead if running kernel >= 4.18.
