Embedding the Containerd Runtime for Fun and Profit [I]
summary
A minimal Go client uses containerd’s gRPC API to connect to the daemon, set a namespace, pull and unpack redis:alpine, create a snapshot-backed container (overlayfs), create a task and start Redis — about 60 lines of code on GitHub (examples/ctr) and it actually runs. The demo adds userns mapping, bind mounts and ShiftFS in a LinuxKit image to make multi-UID mounts work; the advanced client and VM setup succeed.
