client

func NewClient ¶

func NewClient(socketPath string) (*containerd.Client, error)

NewClient returns a new containerd client that communicates over the unix socket at the given path.

Interesting note: there is no remote client for containerd. The debate is around security.

func WithNamespace ¶

func WithNamespace(ctx context.Context, namespace string) context.Context

WithNamespace returns a new context with the given namespace. Context is used by containerd to pass around optional information.

The namespace is used to isolate resources.

You can use "well-known" namespaces like "docker" or "k8s.io" expose containers to other tools.
