containerd/nerdctl v2.0.0-beta.3 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)
- Add --annotation flag (#2906)
  - Now nerdctl run --label is only set as a containerd label and not propagated as an OCI annotation. A label with the nerdctl/ prefix can no longer be set manually, with an exception for nerdctl/bypass4netns. The nerdctl/bypass4netns label is still allowed and is propagated to an OCI annotation, for sake of compatibility.
nerdctl build:
- Add --attest, --sbom, and --provenance flags (#2786, thanks to @yankay)
nerdctl compose up:
- Add --abort-on-container-exit flag (#2873, thanks to @alegrey91)

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/8541206308
