Overview

The run-isolated library allows programs to invoke some actions in an isolated, clean environment, with read-only or read/write access to existing filesystem directories.

Currently the only isolated environment supported is a Docker container.

Examples

Start a container with commands run as a non-root account by default, run a command as root, grab another command's output:

PATH_SRC: Final = pathlib.Path("/opt/src")
PATH_WORK: Final = pathlib.Path("/opt/work")

with rdocker.Container.start_container(
    run_isolated.Config(
        log=util.build_logger(name="ri-example", verbose=True),
        uid=1000,
        gid=1000,
    ),
    "debian:bookworm",
    volumes=[
        rdocker.ContainerVolume(
            external=pathlib.Path.cwd(),
            internal=PATH_SRC,
            readonly=True,
        ),
        rdocker.ContainerVolume(
            external=pathlib.Path.cwd() / "work",
            internal=PATH_WORK,
            readonly=False,
        ),
    ],
) as cont:
    cont.run_command(["apt-get", "update"], ugid="0:0", cwd=pathlib.Path("/"))

    lines = cont.run_command_output(
        ["find", ".", "-mindepth", "1", "-maxdepth", "1", "-type", "f"],
    ).splitlines()

    cont.run_command(
        [
            "env",
            f"PYTHONPATH={PATH_SRC / 'src'}",
            "python3",
            "-B",
            "-u",
            "-m",
            "ri_example.worker",
            "-o",
            PATH_WORK,
        ],
    )
