gVisor Python Bindings
Python bindings for gVisor.
Overview
gVisor is an application kernel, written in Go, that implements a substantial
portion of the Linux system surface. It includes an Open Container Initiative
(OCI) runtime called runsc that provides an isolation boundary between the
application and the host kernel. The runsc runtime delivers strong sandbox
isolation while still allowing applications to behave as they would under
standard runtimes.
These Python bindings provide a programmable interface to interact with gVisor.
Installation
pip install gvisor
The bindings run sandboxes with runsc, which needs the sidecar binaries that
ship with it. Install a full gVisor release from the apt repository or the
release tarball, as described in the
gVisor installation guide. The
package uses the runsc on your PATH, or the binary set in RUNSC_PATH.
Quickstart
from gvisor import Mount, NetworkMode, Sandbox
with Sandbox(
network=NetworkMode.NONE,
mounts=[Mount.tmpfs("/tmp")],
) as sb:
stdout, _ = sb.exec("uname", "-a")
print(stdout)
stdout, _ = sb.exec("sh", "-c", "echo hi > /tmp/out && cat /tmp/out")
print(stdout)
