It is a specialized component responsible for assembling 4 all the layers of container images into a stacked file system that containerd can use. The snapshotter takes as input the list 5 of required layers and outputs a directory containing the final file system. It is also responsible to clean up the output 6 directory when containers using it are stopped. 7 8 See the official [documentation](https://cvmfs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/cpt-containers.html#how-to-use-the-cernvm-fs-snapshotter) to learn further information. 9 10 ## Prerequisites 11 12 - Install containerd remote snapshotter plugin (`cvmfs-snapshotter`) from [here](https://github.com/cvmfs/cvmfs/tree/devel/snapshotter). 13 14 - Add the following to `/etc/containerd/config.toml`: 15 ```toml 16 # Ask containerd to use this particular snapshotter 17 [plugins."io.containerd.grpc.v1.cri".containerd] 18 snapshotter = "cvmfs-snapshotter" 19 disable_snapshot_annotations = false 20 21 # Set the communication endpoint between containerd and the snapshotter 22 [proxy_plugins] 23 [proxy_plugins.cvmfs] 24 type = "snapshot" 25 address = "/run/containerd-cvmfs-grpc/containerd-cvmfs-grpc.sock" 26 ``` 27 - The default CernVM-FS repository hosting the flat root filesystems of the container images is `unpacked.cern.ch`. 28 The container images are unpacked into the CernVM-FS repository by the [DUCC](https://cvmfs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/cpt-ducc.html) 29 (Daemon that Unpacks Container Images into CernVM-FS) tool. 30 You can change the repository adding the following line to `/etc/containerd-cvmfs-grpc/config.toml`: 31 ```toml 32 repository = "myrepo.mydomain" 33 ``` 34 - Launch `containerd` and `cvmfs-snapshotter`: 35 ```console 36 $ systemctl start containerd cvmfs-snapshotter 37 ``` 38 39 ## Enable CernVM-FS Snapshotter for `nerdctl run` and `nerdctl pull` 40 41 | :zap: Requirement | nerdctl >= 1.6.3 | 42 | ----------------- | ---------------- | 43 44 - Run `nerdctl` with `--snapshotter cvmfs-snapshotter` as in the example below: 45 ```console 46 $ nerdctl run -it --rm --snapshotter cvmfs-snapshotter clelange/cms-higgs-4l-full:latest 47 ``` 48 49 - You can also only pull the image with CernVM-FS Snapshotter without running the container: 50 ```console 51 $ nerdctl pull --snapshotter cvmfs-snapshotter clelange/cms-higgs-4l-full:latest 52 ``` 53 54 The speedup for pulling this 9 GB (4.3 GB compressed) image is shown below: 55 - #### with the snapshotter: 56 ```console 57 $ nerdctl --snapshotter cvmfs-snapshotter pull clelange/cms-higgs-4l-full:latest 58 docker.io/clelange/cms-higgs-4l-full:latest: resolved |++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++| 59 manifest-sha256:b8acbe80629dd28d213c03cf1ffd3d46d39e573f54215a281fabce7494b3d546: done |++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++| 60 config-sha256:89ef54b6c4fbbedeeeb29b1df2b9916b6d157c87cf1878ea882bff86a3093b5c: done |++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++| 61 elapsed: 4.7 s total: 19.8 K (4.2 KiB/s) 62 63 $ nerdctl images 64 REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED PLATFORM SIZE BLOB SIZE 65 clelange/cms-higgs-4l-full latest b8acbe80629d 20 seconds ago linux/amd64 0.0 B 4.3 GiB 66 ``` 67 - #### without the snapshotter: 68 ```console 69 $ nerdctl pull clelange/cms-higgs-4l-full:latest 70 docker.io/clelange/cms-higgs-4l-full:latest: resolved |++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++| 71 manifest-sha256:b8acbe80629dd28d213c03cf1ffd3d46d39e573f54215a281fabce7494b3d546: exists |++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++| 72 config-sha256:89ef54b6c4fbbedeeeb29b1df2b9916b6d157c87cf1878ea882bff86a3093b5c: exists |++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++| 73 layer-sha256:e8114d4b0d10b33aaaa4fbc3c6da22bbbcf6f0ef0291170837e7c8092b73840a: done |++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++| 74 layer-sha256:a3eda0944a81e87c7a44b117b1c2e707bc8d18e9b7b478e21698c11ce3e8b819: done |++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++| 75 layer-sha256:8f3160776e8e8736ea9e3f6c870d14cd104143824bbcabe78697315daca0b9ad: done |++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++| 76 layer-sha256:22a5c05baa9db0aa7bba56ffdb2dd21246b9cf3ce938fc6d7bf20e92a067060e: done |++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++| 77 layer-sha256:bfcf9d498f92b72426c9d5b73663504d87249d6783c6b58d71fbafc275349ab9: done |++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++| 78 layer-sha256:0563e1549926b9c8beac62407bc6a420fa35bcf6f9844e5d8beeb9165325a872: done |++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++| 79 layer-sha256:6fff5fd7fb4eeb79a1399d9508614a84191d05e53f094832062d689245599640: done |++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++| 80 layer-sha256:25c39bfa66e1157415236703abc512d06cc1db31bd00fe8c3030c6d6d249dc4e: done |++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++| 81 layer-sha256:3cc0a0eb55eb3fb7ef0760c6bf1e567dfc56933ba5f11b5415f89228af751b72: done |++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++| 82 layer-sha256:a8850244786303e508b94bb31c8569310765e678c9c73bf1199310729209b803: done |++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++| 83 layer-sha256:32cdf5fc12485ac061347eb8b5c3b4a28505ce8564a7f3f83ac4241f03911176: done |++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++| 84 elapsed: 181.8s total: 4.3 Gi (24.2 MiB/s) 85 86 $ nerdctl images 87 REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED PLATFORM SIZE BLOB SIZE 88 clelange/cms-higgs-4l-full latest b8acbe80629d 4 minutes ago linux/amd64 9.0 GiB 4.3 GiB 89 ```
