containerd/nerdctl v2.0.0-beta.1 on GitHub

Changes

nerdctl v2 enables "detach-netns" for Rootless mode by default (#2723).

This will bring:

Faster and more stable nerdctl pull, nerdctl push, nerdctl build, etc
Proper support for nerdctl pull 127.0.0.1:.../...
Proper support for nerdctl run --net=host

Depends on RootlessKit v2 and BuildKit v0.13 (included in nerdctl-full-*.tar.gz).

Note

After upgrading nerdctl (rootless mode) from v1.x to v2.x, it is highly recommended to
re-install the systemd units and the configurations:

containerd-rootless-setuptool.sh uninstall
rm -rf ~/.config/{nerdctl,buildkit}
containerd-rootless-setuptool.sh install
CONTAINERD_NAMESPACE=default containerd-rootless-setuptool.sh install-buildkit-containerd

Other major changes:

nerdctl run:
- Add --systemd flag for running systemd in containers flag (#2785, thanks to @sazzy4o)
- Add--ipc=(shareable|container:<container>) flag (#2757, thanks to @minuk-dev)
nerdctl build:
- Add --attest, --sbom, and --provenance flags (#2786, thanks to @yankay)

Quick start

Rootful

$ sudo systemctl enable --now containerd
$ sudo nerdctl run -d --name nginx -p 80:80 nginx:alpine

Rootless

$ containerd-rootless-setuptool.sh install
$ nerdctl run -d --name nginx -p 8080:80 nginx:alpine

Enabling cgroup v2 is highly recommended for rootless mode, see https://rootlesscontaine.rs/getting-started/common/cgroup2/ .

The binaries were built automatically on GitHub Actions.
The build log is available for 90 days: https://github.com/containerd/nerdctl/actions/runs/7955896798
