Introducing

Daemon config file is a entry for user to set flags for pouchd. PouchContainer support two ways for users to pass flags to daemon, one is run pouchd directly with flags specified, like: pouchd -c /var/run/containerd.sock, the other one is using daemon config file, and of course, you can use them simultaneously.

Support daemon flags

We list some flags pouchd supports, for the detail flags explanations, you can find in pouchd flags.

Flag	Description
-c, --containerd	where does containerd listened on.
-l, --listen	which address to listen on.

Configuring pouchd config file

We recommend users to set daemon flag through daemon config file, the default path to config file is /etc/pouch/config.json, you can change it by set value of --config-file.

Note

• The same flag(exclude slice or array type) can not be set through command line and config file simultaneously.
• We allow users set slice or array type of flag simultaneously from command and config file line，and merge them.

Runtime format

If user want to add more runtime into pouchd, add like:

{
    "add-runtime": {
        "runc": {
            "path": "/usr/local/bin/runc",
            "runtimeArgs": [
                "--debug"
            ]
        }
    }
}

Steps to configure config file

1. Install PouchContainer, you can find detail steps in PouchContainer install.
2. Edit daemon config file, like:

{
    "image-proxy": "http://127.0.0.1:65001",
