in-container

in-container is a binary and a library that can be used to detect if you are running inside a container. Executing the binary will by default return exit-code 0 if it was run inside a container and exit-code 1 if it wasn't. The library can be included in an application of your choice, allowing you to determine whether your application is running inside a container or not.

(Please note that some of the detection mechanisms only work if in-container is executed in a privileged context.)

Supported operating systems/containerization solutions

If you are missing support for an operating system or container runtime, feel free to open a feature request or open a pull request.

Usage as a library

Add in-container as a dependency to your project's Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
in-container = { version = "^1", default-features = false }

You can then use in_container::in_container() which will return true if you are running inside a container and false otherwise. In case you are interested in the container-runtime that was detected, you can call in_container::get_container_runtime() instead, which will return an Option<ContainerRuntime>. The Option is None when not running in a container, otherwise it will contain the detected runtime.

Version bump policy

In general, the versioning scheme follows the semantic versioning guidelines:

  • The patch version is bumped when backwards compatible fixes are made (this includes updates to dependencies).
  • The minor version is bumped when new features are introduced, but backwards compatibility is retained.
  • The major version is bumped when a backwards incompatible change was made.

Special case:

  • A bump in the minimum supported Rust version (MSRV) for the library, which is currently 1.52.1, will be done in minor version updates (i.e. they do not require a major version bump).
  • A bump in the minimum supported Rust version (MSRV) for the binary, which is currently 1.54.0, will be done in patch version updates (i.e. they do not require a major or minor version bump).
