This guide will quickly get you started running your first gVisor sandbox container using the runtime directly with the default platform.

Install gVisor

First, install gVisor using the install instructions.

Run an OCI compatible container

Now we will create an OCI container bundle to run our container. First we will create a root directory for our bundle.

mkdir bundle
cd bundle

Create a root file system for the container. We will use the Docker hello-world image as the basis for our container.

mkdir rootfs
docker export $(docker create hello-world) | tar -xf - -C rootfs

Next, create an specification file called config.json that contains our container specification. We will update the default command it runs to /hello in the hello-world container.

runsc spec
sed -i 's;"sh";"/hello";' config.json

Finally run the container.

sudo runsc run hello

Next try running gVisor using Docker.
