containerd ZFS snapshotter plugin

ZFS snapshotter plugin for containerd.

This plugin is tested on Linux with Ubuntu. It should be compatible with FreeBSD.

Usage

The plugin is built-in by default since containerd 1.1. No need to recompile containerd or execute a proxy snapshotter process.

1. Set up a ZFS filesystem. The ZFS filesystem name is arbitrary but the mount point needs to be /var/lib/containerd/io.containerd.snapshotter.v1.zfs, when the containerd root is set to /var/lib/containerd.

$ zfs create -o mountpoint=/var/lib/containerd/io.containerd.snapshotter.v1.zfs your-zpool/containerd

2. Start containerd.

3. e.g. ctr pull --snapshotter=zfs ...
