stargz-snapshotter doesn't work

I installed this extension and tried to run a test pod with the estargz image:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: nodejs
spec:
  containers:
    - name: nodejs-stargz
      image: ghcr.io/stargz-containers/node:17.8.0-esgz
      command: ["node"]
      args:
        - -e
        - var http = require('http');
          http.createServer(function(req, res) {
          res.writeHead(200);
          res.end('Hello World!\n');
          }).listen(80);
      ports:
        - containerPort: 80

Getting this error: Error: failed to create containerd task: failed to create shim task: OCI runtime create failed: runc create failed: unable to start container process: exec: "node": executable file not found in $PATH: unknown

I also see these errors in the ext-stargz-snapshotter service.

By the way I had the same problem even with fusermount binary and even using nydus-snapshotter

@rsmitty Have you tested if the stargz-snapshotter extension is working correctly?

[frezbo]

@rsmitty is this relevant anymore?

It doesn't just not work, it seems to break kubelet ImageGC, and then you'll eventually run out of space.

Warning  ImageGCFailed            2m4s (x2 over 7m4s)    kubelet          get filesystem info: Failed to get the info of the filesystem with mountpoint: failed to get device for dir "/var/lib/containerd/io.containerd.snapshotter.v1.stargz": stat failed on /var/lib/containerd/io.containerd.snapshotter.v1.stargz with error: no such file or directory

This is a bug in stargz-snapshotter (or even containerd). See https://github.com/containerd/stargz-snapshotter/issues/1349

I was thinking that I may just cheese it and create that path as part of the extension, however. But that will come after I can get some time to figure out why we can't pull from a private registry :/
