Module container_utils 

Helpers for interacting with containers at runtime.

Constants

OSTREE_BOOTED

The relative path to the stamp file which signals this is an ostree-booted system.

V0_REPO_CONFIG 🔒

V1_REPO_CONFIG 🔒

Functions

is_bare_split_xattrs

Returns true if the current root filesystem has an ostree repository in bare-split-xattrs mode. This will be the case in a running ostree-native container.

is_ostree_booted_in

Returns true if the target root appears to have been booted via ostree.

is_ostree_container

Returns true if the current booted filesystem appears to be an ostree-native container.

open_optional 🔒

ostree_booted

Returns true if the system appears to have been booted via ostree. This accesses global state in /run.

require_ostree_container

Returns an error unless the current filesystem is an ostree-based container

running_in_container

Attempts to detect if the current process is running inside a container. This looks for the container environment variable or the presence of Docker or podman’s more generic /run/.containerenv. This is a best-effort function, as there is not a 100% reliable way to determine this.
