Usage Instructions ​

Start a Kuasar sandbox.

1. Ensure that Kuasar and related components have been correctly installed and configured.

2. Prepare the service container image. Assume that the container image is busybox. Use the iSula container engine to download the container image.

   sh

   isula pull busybox

3. Prepare the YAML files for the pod and container. The file examples are as follows:

   sh

   $ cat podsandbox.yaml 
   metadata:
     name: busybox-sandbox
     namespace: default
     uid: hdishd83djaidwnduwk28bcsc
   log_directory: /tmp
   linux:
     namespaces:
       options: {}
   
   $ cat pod-container.yaml
   metadata:
     name: busybox
   image:
     image: docker.io/library/busybox:latest
   command:
   - top
   log_path: busybox.log

4. Start a pod.

   sh

   $ crictl runp --runtime=vmm podsandbox.yaml
   5cbcf744949d8500e7159d6bd1e3894211f475549c0be15d9c60d3c502c7ede3

   Check the pod list. The pod is in the Ready state.

   sh

   $ crictl pods
   POD ID              CREATED              STATE               NAME                NAMESPACE           ATTEMPT
   5cbcf744949d8       About a minute ago   Ready               busybox-sandbox    default             1

5. Create a service container in the pod.

   sh

   $ crictl create 5cbcf744949d8500e7159d6bd1e3894211f475549c0be15d9c60d3c502c7ede3 pod-container.yaml podsandbox.yaml
   c11df540f913e57d1e28372334c028fd6550a2ba73208a3991fbcdb421804a50

   View the container list. The container is in the Created state.

   sh

   $ crictl ps -a
   CONTAINER           IMAGE                              CREATED             STATE               NAME                ATTEMPT             POD ID
   c11df540f913e       docker.io/library/busybox:latest   15 seconds ago         Created             busybox            0                   5cbcf744949d

6. Start the service container.

   sh

   crictl start c11df540f913e57d1e28372334c028fd6550a2ba73208a3991fbcdb421804a50

   Check the container list. The container is in the Running state.

   sh

   $ crictl ps
   CONTAINER           IMAGE                              CREATED             STATE               NAME                ATTEMPT             POD ID
   c11df540f913e       docker.io/library/busybox:latest   2 minutes ago       Running             busybox            0                   5cbcf744949d8

   NOTE

   You can also run a crictl run command to start a pod with a service container.

   sh

   crictl run -r vmm --no-pull container-config.yaml podsandbox-config.yaml

7. Stop and delete the container and the pod.

   sh

   crictl rm -f c11df540f913e
   crictl rmp -f 5cbcf744949d8
