+# libpod - library for running OCI-based containers in Pods
+
+### Status: Development
+
+## What is the scope of this project?
+
+libpod is meant to provide an library for applications lookint the user the Container Pod concept popularized by Kubernetes.
+libpod also contains a tool kpod, which allows you to manage Pods, Containers, and Container Images.
+
+At a high level, we expect the scope of libpod/kpod to the following functionalities:
+
+* Support multiple image formats including the existing Docker image format
+* Support for multiple means to download images including trust & image verification
+* Container image management (managing image layers, overlay filesystems, etc)
+* Container and POD process lifecycle management
+* Resource isolation of containers and PODS.
+
+## What is not in scope for this project?
+
+* Building container images. See Buildah
+* Signing and pushing images to various image storages. See Skopeo.
+* Container Runtimes daemons for working with Kubernetes CRIs See CRI-O.
+
+The plan is to use OCI projects and best of breed libraries for different aspects:
+- Runtime: [runc](https://github.com/opencontainers/runc) (or any OCI runtime-spec implementation) and [oci runtime tools](https://github.com/opencontainers/runtime-tools)
+- Images: Image management using [containers/image](https://github.com/containers/image)
+- Storage: Storage and management of image layers using [containers/storage](https://github.com/containers/storage)
+- Networking: Networking support through use of [CNI](https://github.com/containernetworking/cni)
+
+libpod is currently in active development.

+## OCI Hooks Support
+
+[KPOD configures OCI Hooks to run when launching a container](./hooks.md)
+
+## KPOD Usage Transfer
+
+[Useful information for ops and dev transfer as it relates to infrastructure that utilizes KPOD](/transfer.md)
+
+## Communication
+
+For async communication and long running discussions please use issues and pull requests on the github repo. This will be the best place to discuss design and implementation.
+
+For sync communication we have an IRC channel #KPOD, on chat.freenode.net, that everyone is welcome to join and chat about development.
+
+## Getting started
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+Latest version of `runc` is expected to be installed on the system. It is picked up as the default runtime by kpod.
+
+### Build and Run Dependencies
+
+**Required**
+
+Fedora, CentOS, RHEL, and related distributions:
+
+```bash
+yum install -y \
+ btrfs-progs-devel \
+ device-mapper-devel \
+ git \
+ glib2-devel \
+ glibc-devel \
+ glibc-static \
+ go \
+ golang-github-cpuguy83-go-md2man \
+ gpgme-devel \
+ libassuan-devel \
+ libgpg-error-devel \
+ libseccomp-devel \
+ libselinux-devel \
+ ostree-devel \
+ pkgconfig \
+ runc \
+ skopeo-containers
+```
+
+Debian, Ubuntu, and related distributions:
+
+```bash
+apt-get install -y \
+ btrfs-tools \
+ git \
+ golang-go \
+ libassuan-dev \
+ libdevmapper-dev \
+ libglib2.0-dev \
+ libc6-dev \
+ libgpgme11-dev \
+ libgpg-error-dev \
+ libseccomp-dev \
+ libselinux1-dev \
+ pkg-config \
+ runc \
+ skopeo-containers
+```
+
+Debian, Ubuntu, and related distributions will also need a copy of the development libraries for `ostree`, either in the form of the `libostree-dev` package from the [flatpak](https://launchpad.net/~alexlarsson/+archive/ubuntu/flatpak) PPA, or built [from source](https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree) (more on that [here](https://ostree.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#building)).
+
+If using an older release or a long-term support release, be careful to double-check that the version of `runc` is new enough (running `runc --version` should produce `spec: 1.0.0`), or else build your own.
+
+**NOTE**
+
+Be careful to double-check that the version of golang is new enough, version 1.8.x or higher is required. If needed, golang kits are avaliable at https://golang.org/dl/
+
+**Optional**
+
+Fedora, CentOS, RHEL, and related distributions:
+
+(no optional packages)
+
+Debian, Ubuntu, and related distributions:
+
+```bash
+apt-get install -y \
+ libapparmor-dev
+```
+
+### Get Source Code
+
+As with other Go projects, KPOD must be cloned into a directory structure like:
+
+```
+GOPATH
+└── src
+ └── github.com
+ └── projectatomic
+ └── libpod
+```
+
+First, configure a `GOPATH` (if you are using go1.8 or later, this defaults to `~/go`).
+
+```bash
+export GOPATH=~/go
+mkdir -p $GOPATH
+```
+
+Next, clone the source code using:
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/projectatomic
+cd $_ # or cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/projectatomic
+git clone https://github.com/projectatomic/libpod # or your fork
+cd libpod
+```
+
+### Build
+
+```bash
+make install.tools
+make
+sudo make install
+```
+
+Otherwise, if you do not want to build `kpod` with seccomp support you can add `BUILDTAGS=""` when running make.
+
+```bash
+make BUILDTAGS=""
+sudo make install
+```
+
+#### Build Tags
+
+`kpod` supports optional build tags for compiling support of various features.
+To add build tags to the make option the `BUILDTAGS` variable must be set.
+
+```bash
+make BUILDTAGS='seccomp apparmor'
+```
+
+| Build Tag | Feature | Dependency |
+|-----------|------------------------------------|-------------|
+| seccomp | syscall filtering | libseccomp |
+| selinux | selinux process and mount labeling | libselinux |
+| apparmor | apparmor profile support | libapparmor |
+
+### Running pods and containers
+
+Follow this [tutorial](tutorial.md) to get started with KPOD.
+
+### Setup CNI networking
+
+A proper description of setting up CNI networking is given in the
+[`contrib/cni` README](contrib/cni/README.md). But the gist is that you need to
+have some basic network configurations enabled and CNI plugins installed on
+your system.
+
+### Current Roadmap
+
+1. Basic pod/container lifecycle, basic image pull (done)
+1. Support for tty handling and state management (done)
+1. Basic integration with kubelet once client side changes are ready (done)
+1. Support for log management, networking integration using CNI, pluggable image/storage management (done)
+1. Support for exec/attach (done)
