🐛 Bug Report — Runtime APIs: No privileged mode option for Containers local development

Open DarthBenro008 opened this issue 1 month ago • 0 comments

Issue

Following this documentation regarding using FUSE as FS with R2 in Cloudflare Containers, i encountered the following bug:

  • https://github.com/cloudflare/containers/issues/112#issuecomment-3590004554

I figured out, there is no option for the end user to enable/ask workerd to run Docker in privileged mode for local testing which hinders local testing of containers for certain applications. (Eg: FUSE support/modprobe)

Proposed Solution

  • Expose runPrevileged option and append it: https://github.com/cloudflare/workerd/blob/4d3bfd7df2bca147b2e98538f874f89c0ec13c02/src/workerd/server/container-client.c%2B%2B#L287 if enabled, the docker api capnp already has the specs https://github.com/cloudflare/workerd/blob/4d3bfd7df2bca147b2e98538f874f89c0ec13c02/src/workerd/server/docker-api.capnp#L145

  • Generate Capnp and allow Miniflare to access this for local-development

  • Miniflare exposes this as a config to wrangler

  • User can set a wrangler config either via config file or via CLI params wrangler dev --previleged

Would like to know your thoughts on this, and would love to contribute regarding the same!
