ContainerRuntime

Defined in: packages/runtime/src/container/types.ts:490

Minimal container-creation surface: build one container from a spec, or boot a legacy image.

Role

Consumed — obtain from createContainerRuntime. The manager (ContainerManager) extends this with a tracking registry; reach for the runtime directly when you don’t need lifecycle tracking.

Invariant

create() returns a Container in the created state — caller must start() before the container runs.

Invariant

boot() is a backward-compat escape hatch that produces a UnixInstance directly (pre-container world); it does NOT go through the container lifecycle.

Example

import { createContainerRuntime, nodeRuntime } from '@fishnet/runtime'

const rt = createContainerRuntime((await nodeRuntime()).caps)
const c = await rt.create({ name: 'demo', namespace: {...}, process: {...} })
