* Move the HostConfig portion of Inspect inside libpodMatthew Heon2019-07-17
When we first began writing Podman, we ran into a major issue when implementing Inspect. Libpod deliberately does not tie its internal data structures to Docker, and stores most information about containers encoded within the OCI spec. However, Podman must present a CLI compatible with Docker, which means it must expose all the information in 'docker inspect' - most of which is not contained in the OCI spec or libpod's Config struct. Our solution at the time was the create artifact. We JSON'd the complete CreateConfig (a parsed form of the CLI arguments to 'podman run') and stored it with the container, restoring it when we needed to run commands that required the extra info. Over the past month, I've been looking more at Inspect, and refactored large portions of it into Libpod - generating them from what we know about the OCI config and libpod's (now much expanded, versus previously) container configuration. This path comes close to completing the process, moving the last part of inspect into libpod and removing the need for the create artifact. This improves libpod's compatability with non-Podman containers. We no longer require an arbitrarily-formatted JSON blob to be present to run inspect.
