# Open Container Specifications
|
|
|
|
[Open Container Initiative](http://www.opencontainers.org/) Specifications for standards on Operating System process and application containers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Table of Contents
|
|
|
|
- [Container Principles](principles.md)
|
|
- [Filesystem Bundle](bundle.md)
|
|
- [Container Configuration](config.md)
|
|
- [Linux Specific Configuration](config-linux.md)
|
|
- [Runtime and Lifecycle](runtime.md)
|
|
- [Implementations](implementations.md)
|
|
|
|
## Use Cases
|
|
|
|
To provide context for users the following section gives example use cases for each part of the spec.
|
|
|
|
### Filesystem Bundle & Configuration
|
|
|
|
- A user can create a root filesystem and configuration, with low-level OS and host specific details, and launch it as a container under an Open Container runtime.
|
|
|
|
## Releases
|
|
|
|
There is a loose [Road Map](https://github.com/opencontainers/specs/wiki/RoadMap:) on the wiki.
|
|
During the `0.x` series of OCI releases we make no backwards compatibility guarantees and intend to break the schema during this series.
|
|
|
|
# Contributing
|
|
|
|
Development happens on GitHub for the spec.
|
|
Issues are used for bugs and actionable items and longer discussions can happen on the [mailing list](#mailing-list).
|
|
|
|
The specification and code is licensed under the Apache 2.0 license found in the `LICENSE` file of this repository.
|
|
|
|
## Code of Conduct
|
|
|
|
Participation in the OpenContainers community is governed by [OpenContainer's Code of Conduct](code-of-conduct.md).
|
|
|
|
## Discuss your design
|
|
|
|
The project welcomes submissions, but please let everyone know what you are working on.
|
|
|
|
Before undertaking a nontrivial change to this specification, send mail to the [mailing list](#mailing-list) to discuss what you plan to do.
|
|
This gives everyone a chance to validate the design, helps prevent duplication of effort, and ensures that the idea fits.
|
|
It also guarantees that the design is sound before code is written; a GitHub pull-request is not the place for high-level discussions.
|
|
|
|
Typos and grammatical errors can go straight to a pull-request.
|
|
When in doubt, start on the [mailing-list](#mailing-list).
|
|
|
|
## Weekly Call
|
|
|
|
The contributors and maintainers of the project have a weekly meeting Wednesdays at 10:00 AM PST.
|
|
Everyone is welcome to participate in the [BlueJeans call][BlueJeans].
|
|
An initial agenda will be posted to the [mailing list](#mailing-list) earlier in the week, and everyone is welcome to propose additional topics or suggest other agenda alterations there.
|
|
Minutes for the call will be posted to the [mailing list](#mailing-list) for those who are unable to join the call.
|
|
|
|
## Mailing List
|
|
|
|
You can subscribe and join the mailing list on [Google Groups](https://groups.google.com/a/opencontainers.org/forum/#!forum/dev).
|
|
|
|
## IRC
|
|
|
|
OCI discussion happens on #opencontainers on Freenode.
|
|
|
|
## Markdown style
|
|
|
|
To keep consistency throughout the Markdown files in the Open Container spec all files should be formatted one sentence per line.
|
|
This fixes two things: it makes diffing easier with git and it resolves fights about line wrapping length.
|
|
For example, this paragraph will span three lines in the Markdown source.
|
|
|
|
## Git commit
|
|
|
|
### Sign your work
|
|
|
|
The sign-off is a simple line at the end of the explanation for the patch, which certifies that you wrote it or otherwise have the right to pass it on as an open-source patch.
|
|
The rules are pretty simple: if you can certify the below (from [developercertificate.org](http://developercertificate.org/)):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Developer Certificate of Origin
|
|
Version 1.1
|
|
|
|
Copyright (C) 2004, 2006 The Linux Foundation and its contributors.
|
|
660 York Street, Suite 102,
|
|
San Francisco, CA 94110 USA
|
|
|
|
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this
|
|
license document, but changing it is not allowed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1
|
|
|
|
By making a contribution to this project, I certify that:
|
|
|
|
(a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I
|
|
have the right to submit it under the open source license
|
|
indicated in the file; or
|
|
|
|
(b) The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the best
|
|
of my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate open source
|
|
license and I have the right under that license to submit that
|
|
work with modifications, whether created in whole or in part
|
|
by me, under the same open source license (unless I am
|
|
permitted to submit under a different license), as indicated
|
|
in the file; or
|
|
|
|
(c) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other
|
|
person who certified (a), (b) or (c) and I have not modified
|
|
it.
|
|
|
|
(d) I understand and agree that this project and the contribution
|
|
are public and that a record of the contribution (including all
|
|
personal information I submit with it, including my sign-off) is
|
|
maintained indefinitely and may be redistributed consistent with
|
|
this project or the open source license(s) involved.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
then you just add a line to every git commit message:
|
|
|
|
Signed-off-by: Joe Smith <joe@gmail.com>
|
|
|
|
using your real name (sorry, no pseudonyms or anonymous contributions.)
|
|
|
|
You can add the sign off when creating the git commit via `git commit -s`.
|
|
|
|
### Commit Style
|
|
|
|
Simple house-keeping for clean git history.
|
|
Read more on [How to Write a Git Commit Message](http://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/) or the Discussion section of [`git-commit(1)`](http://git-scm.com/docs/git-commit).
|
|
|
|
1. Separate the subject from body with a blank line
|
|
2. Limit the subject line to 50 characters
|
|
3. Capitalize the subject line
|
|
4. Do not end the subject line with a period
|
|
5. Use the imperative mood in the subject line
|
|
6. Wrap the body at 72 characters
|
|
7. Use the body to explain what and why vs. how
|
|
* If there was important/useful/essential conversation or information, copy or include a reference
|
|
8. When possible, one keyword to scope the change in the subject (i.e. "README: ...", "runtime: ...")
