SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Rivetr environments can fail when the wrong container runtime is used or sockets are inaccessible; this skill helps quickly verify Docker and Podman availability to prevent deployment surprises.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Detects and verifies runtime availability (Docker, Podman) on the host.
  • Checks Docker/Podman sockets and basic version reporting for safe deployments.
  • Use Case: Troubleshoot container development and ensure runtime compatibility before a Rivetr deployment.

Quick Start

Run the Rivetr container runtime check to detect Docker or Podman and verify socket access.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate Docker and Podman runtimes for Rivetr deployments?

You can validate Docker and Podman runtimes by running Rivetr's runtime-detection logic to perform socket checks, version inquiries, and basic build-type validations across your deployment environment.

Why does my Rivetr environment fail when deploying containers?

Rivetr environments fail when the wrong container runtime is used or Docker/Podman sockets are inaccessible. Verifying runtime availability and socket access before deployment prevents these container build and runtime errors.

How do I check if Docker or Podman sockets are accessible for container debugging?

You can check Docker and Podman socket accessibility by applying Rivetr's runtime-detection logic, which performs socket checks and version inquiries to verify that the runtimes are available for deployment.

Can I use Podman instead of Docker for Rivetr container deployments?

Yes, you can use Podman instead of Docker. The runtime validation skill detects both Docker and Podman availability on the host, verifying socket access and version reporting to ensure either runtime is safe for Rivetr deployments.

Do I need standard CLI tools to troubleshoot container builds with Rivetr?

Yes, you need standard CLI tools to troubleshoot container builds. The runtime validation requires standard CLI tools alongside Rivetr's runtime-detection logic to perform socket checks, version inquiries, and build-type validations.

What is container runtime detection and when do I need it for Rivetr?

Container runtime detection is the process of identifying and verifying available Docker or Podman runtimes on a host. You need it before Rivetr deployments to prevent errors caused by using an incompatible runtime or inaccessible sockets.
