Various tools for sandboxing programs with containers in Linux

• These tools are made for Linux and will most likely not work on other operating systems.

contained

Run a program in a container without having to build a specific image for it, without using a daemon.

Prerequisites

Requires Podman to be installed and setup for rootless and daemonless operation, and the podman command to be in PATH.

Setup

Build an empty image with:

buildah build -t empty .

run-image

Convenience tools to run a Podman/Docker/OCI image with Podman without using a daemon, alternative to podman run.

Prerequisites

Requires Podman to be installed and setup for rootless and daemonless operation, and the podman command to be in PATH.

contained-d

Run a program in a container without having to build a specific image for it, via Docker daemon.

Prerequisites

Requires Docker daemon, or a compatible daemon (e.g. Podman API service), set DOCKER_HOST environment variable unless using standard Docker daemon.

Setup

Build an empty image with:

docker build -t empty .

run-image-d

Convenience tools to run a Podman/Docker/OCI image with Podman, via Docker daemon, alternative to docker run.

Prerequisites

Requires Docker daemon, or a compatible daemon (e.g. Podman API service), set DOCKER_HOST environment variable unless using standard Docker daemon.
