Migrate Clear Containers to Kata Containers\*
#############################################
This tutorial explains how to migrate from Clear Containers to Kata Containers.
.. contents::
:local:
:depth: 1
Description
***********
`Clear Containers`_ and `Kata Containers`_ can co-exist in the same system.
Both can be installed through the :command:`containers-virt` bundle. However,
we recommend that you migrate to Kata Containers because Clear Containers is no
longer `maintained`_ and will soon be deprecated on |CL-ATTR|.
Prerequisites
*************
* Clear Containers is on a Docker\* system.
* Kata Containers is installed. See :ref:`kata`.
Stop Clear Containers instances
*******************************
As an unprivileged user, stop all running instances of Clear Containers:
.. code-block:: bash
for container in $(sudo docker ps -q); do sudo docker stop $container; done
Manually migrate customized configuration files
***********************************************
If you have made changes to your `Clear Containers configuration`_, review
those changes and decide whether to manually apply those changes to your
`Kata Containers configuration`_.
Make any required changes before continuing this process.
.. note::
You do not need to manually remove any Clear Containers packages.
Enable Kata Containers as default
*********************************
#. Configure Docker to use the Kata Containers runtime by default.
.. code-block:: bash
sudo mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/
cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/51-runtime.conf
[Service]
Environment="DOCKER_DEFAULT_RUNTIME=--default-runtime kata-runtime"
EOF
#. Restart the Docker systemd services.
.. code-block:: bash
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart docker
#. Verify Docker is using Kata Containers.
.. code-block:: bash
sudo docker info | grep -i 'default runtime'
Default Runtime: kata-runtime
Run Kata Containers
*******************
Use the following command:
.. code-block:: bash
sudo docker run -ti busybox sh
**Congratulations!**
