+
+## Introduction
+
+`runc` is a CLI tool for spawning and running containers according to the OCI specification.
+
+## Releases
+
+`runc` depends on and tracks the [runtime-spec](https://github.com/opencontainers/runtime-spec) repository.
+We will try to make sure that `runc` and the OCI specification major versions stay in lockstep.
+This means that `runc` 1.0.0 should implement the 1.0 version of the specification.
+
+You can find official releases of `runc` on the [release](https://github.com/opencontainers/runc/releases) page.
+
+### Security
+
+If you wish to report a security issue, please disclose the issue responsibly
+to security@opencontainers.org.
+
+## Building
+
+`runc` currently supports the Linux platform with various architecture support.
+It must be built with Go version 1.6 or higher in order for some features to function properly.
+
+In order to enable seccomp support you will need to install `libseccomp` on your platform.
+> e.g. `libseccomp-devel` for CentOS, or `libseccomp-dev` for Ubuntu
+
+Otherwise, if you do not want to build `runc` with seccomp support you can add `BUILDTAGS=""` when running make.
+
+```bash
+# create a 'github.com/opencontainers' in your GOPATH/src
+cd github.com/opencontainers
+git clone https://github.com/opencontainers/runc
+cd runc
+
+make
+sudo make install
+```
+
+`runc` will be installed to `/usr/local/sbin/runc` on your system.
+
+#### Build Tags
+
+`runc` 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 | <none> |
+| apparmor | apparmor profile support | libapparmor |
+| ambient | ambient capability support | kernel 4.3 |
+
+
+### Running the test suite
+
+`runc` currently supports running its test suite via Docker.
+To run the suite just type `make test`.
+
+```bash
+make test
+```
+
+There are additional make targets for running the tests outside of a container but this is not recommended as the tests are written with the expectation that they can write and remove anywhere.
+
+You can run a specific test case by setting the `TESTFLAGS` variable.
+
+```bash
+# make test TESTFLAGS="-run=SomeTestFunction"
+```
+
+### Dependencies Management
+
+`runc` uses [vndr](https://github.com/LK4D4/vndr) for dependencies management.
+Please refer to [vndr](https://github.com/LK4D4/vndr) for how to add or update
+new dependencies.
+
+## Using runc
+
+### Creating an OCI Bundle
+
+In order to use runc you must have your container in the format of an OCI bundle.
+If you have Docker installed you can use its `export` method to acquire a root filesystem from an existing Docker container.
+
+```bash
+# create the top most bundle directory
+mkdir /mycontainer
+cd /mycontainer
+
+# create the rootfs directory
+mkdir rootfs
+
+# export busybox via Docker into the rootfs directory
+docker export $(docker create busybox) | tar -C rootfs -xvf -
+```
+
+After a root filesystem is populated you just generate a spec in the format of a `config.json` file inside your bundle.
+`runc` provides a `spec` command to generate a base template spec that you are then able to edit.
+To find features and documentation for fields in the spec please refer to the [specs](https://github.com/opencontainers/runtime-spec) repository.
+
+```bash
+runc spec
+```
+
+### Running Containers
+
+Assuming you have an OCI bundle from the previous step you can execute the container in two different ways.
+
+The first way is to use the convenience command `run` that will handle creating, starting, and deleting the container after it exits.
+
+```bash
+# run as root
+cd /mycontainer
+runc run mycontainerid
+```
+
+If you used the unmodified `runc spec` template this should give you a `sh` session inside the container.
+
+The second way to start a container is using the specs lifecycle operations.
+This gives you more power over how the container is created and managed while it is running.
+This will also launch the container in the background so you will have to edit the `config.json` to remove the `terminal` setting for the simple examples here.
+Your process field in the `config.json` should look like this below with `"terminal": false` and `"args": ["sleep", "5"]`.
+
+
+```json
+ "process": {
+ "terminal": false,
+ "user": {
+ "uid": 0,
+ "gid": 0
+ },
+ "args": [
+ "sleep", "5"
+ ],
+ "env": [
+ "PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin",
+ "TERM=xterm"
+ ],
+ "cwd": "/",
+ "capabilities": {
+ "bounding": [
+ "CAP_AUDIT_WRITE",
+ "CAP_KILL",
+ "CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE"
+ ],
+ "effective": [
+ "CAP_AUDIT_WRITE",
+ "CAP_KILL",
+ "CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE"
+ ],
+ "inheritable": [
+ "CAP_AUDIT_WRITE",
+ "CAP_KILL",
+ "CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE"
+ ],
+ "permitted": [
+ "CAP_AUDIT_WRITE",
+ "CAP_KILL",
+ "CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE"
+ ],
+ "ambient": [
+ "CAP_AUDIT_WRITE",
+ "CAP_KILL",
+ "CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE"
+ ]
+ },
+ "rlimits": [
+ {
+ "type": "RLIMIT_NOFILE",
+ "hard": 1024,
+ "soft": 1024
+ }
+ ],
+ "noNewPrivileges": true
+ },
+```
+
+Now we can go through the lifecycle operations in your shell.
+
+
+```bash
+# run as root
+cd /mycontainer
+runc create mycontainerid
+
+# view the container is created and in the "created" state
+runc list
+
+# start the process inside the container
+runc start mycontainerid
+
+# after 5 seconds view that the container has exited and is now in the stopped state
+runc list
+
+# now delete the container
+runc delete mycontainerid
+```
+
+This adds more complexity but allows higher level systems to manage runc and provides points in the containers creation to setup various settings after the container has created and/or before it is deleted.
+This is commonly used to setup the container's network stack after `create` but before `start` where the user's defined process will be running.
+
+#### Rootless containers
+`runc` has the ability to run containers without root privileges. This is called `rootless`. You need to pass some parameters to `runc` in order to run rootless containers. See below and compare with the previous version. Run the following commands as an ordinary user:
+```bash
+# Same as the first example
+mkdir ~/mycontainer
+cd ~/mycontainer
+mkdir rootfs
+docker export $(docker create busybox) | tar -C rootfs -xvf -
+
+# The --rootless parameter instructs runc spec to generate a configuration for a rootless container, which will allow you to run the container as a non-root user.
+runc spec --rootless
+
+# The --root parameter tells runc where to store the container state. It must be writable by the user.
+runc --root /tmp/runc run mycontainerid
+```
+
+#### Supervisors
+
+`runc` can be used with process supervisors and init systems to ensure that containers are restarted when they exit.
+An example systemd unit file looks something like this.
+
+```systemd
+[Unit]
+Description=Start My Container
+
+[Service]
+Type=forking
+ExecStart=/usr/local/sbin/runc run -d --pid-file /run/mycontainerid.pid mycontainerid
+ExecStopPost=/usr/local/sbin/runc delete mycontainerid
+WorkingDirectory=/mycontainer
+PIDFile=/run/mycontainerid.pid
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=multi-user.target
+```
