1. Installing crun-vm

On Fedora

Run:

$ dnf install crun-vm

Podman will then be able to make use of the crun-vm runtime.

To also set up crun-vm for use with Docker:

• Merge the following configuration into /etc/docker/daemon.json:

  {
    "runtimes": {
      "crun-vm": {
        "path": "/usr/bin/crun-vm"
      }
    }
  }
  

• Reload the docker service for the new configuration to take effect:

  $ service docker reload
  

Build and install from source (on Fedora)

1. Install crun-vm's runtime dependencies:

   $ dnf install bash coreutils crun genisoimage grep libselinux-devel libvirt-client libvirt-daemon-driver-qemu libvirt-daemon-log openssh-clients qemu-img qemu-system-x86-core shadow-utils util-linux virtiofsd
   

2. Install Rust and Cargo if you do not already have Rust tooling available:

   $ dnf install cargo
   

3. Build crun-vm:

   $ cargo build
   

4. Copy the target/debug/crun-vm binary to wherever you prefer:

   $ cp target/debug/crun-vm /usr/local/bin/
   

5. If you're using Podman:

   • Merge the following configuration into /etc/containers/containers.conf:

     For rootless Podman, you can instead use ${XDG_CONFIG_PATH}/containers/containers.conf, where $XDG_CONFIG_PATH defaults to ${HOME}/.config.

     [engine.runtimes]
     crun-vm = ["/usr/local/bin/crun-vm"]
     

   If you're using Docker:

   • Merge the following configuration into /etc/docker/daemon.json:

     {
       "runtimes": {
         "crun-vm": {
           "path": "/usr/local/bin/crun-vm"
         }
       }
     }
     

   • Reload the docker service for the new configuration to take effect:

     $ service docker reload
     

With Podman, it is possible to use crun-vm without installing it, i.e., performing only steps 1–3 above. In this case, instead of setting the runtime with --runtime crun-vm, specify an absolute path to the runtime binary: --runtime "$PWD"/target/debug/crun-vm.
