Contrary to popular belief, the OCI Runtime specification does not
specify the command-line API for runtimes. Looking at containerd's
architecture from the lens of the OCI Runtime spec, the _shim_ is the
OCI Runtime and runC is "just" an implementation detail of the
io.containerd.runc.v2 runtime. When one configures a non-default runtime
in Docker, what they're really doing is instructing Docker to create
containers using the io.containerd.runc.v2 runtime with a configuration
option telling the runtime that the runC binary is at some non-default
path. Consequently, only OCI runtimes which are compatible with the
io.containerd.runc.v2 shim, such as crun, can be used in this manner.
Other OCI runtimes, including kata-containers v2, come with their own
containerd shim and are not compatible with io.containerd.runc.v2.
As Docker has not historically provided a way to select a non-default
runtime which requires its own shim, runtimes such as kata-containers v2
could not be used with Docker.
Allow other containerd shims to be used with Docker; no daemon
configuration required. If the daemon is instructed to create a
container with a runtime name which does not match any of the configured
or stock runtimes, it passes the name along to containerd verbatim. A
user can start a container with the kata-containers runtime, for
example, simply by calling
docker run --runtime io.containerd.kata.v2
Runtime names which containerd would interpret as a path to an arbitrary
binary are disallowed. While handy for development and testing it is not
strictly necessary and would allow anyone with Engine API access to
trivially execute any binary on the host as root, so we have decided it
would be safest for our users if it was not allowed.
It is not yet possible to set an alternative containerd shim as the
default runtime; it can only be configured per-container.

The Moby Project
Moby is an open-source project created by Docker to enable and accelerate software containerization.
It provides a "Lego set" of toolkit components, the framework for assembling them into custom container-based systems, and a place for all container enthusiasts and professionals to experiment and exchange ideas. Components include container build tools, a container registry, orchestration tools, a runtime and more, and these can be used as building blocks in conjunction with other tools and projects.
Principles
Moby is an open project guided by strong principles, aiming to be modular, flexible and without too strong an opinion on user experience. It is open to the community to help set its direction.
- Modular: the project includes lots of components that have well-defined functions and APIs that work together.
- Batteries included but swappable: Moby includes enough components to build fully featured container system, but its modular architecture ensures that most of the components can be swapped by different implementations.
- Usable security: Moby provides secure defaults without compromising usability.
- Developer focused: The APIs are intended to be functional and useful to build powerful tools. They are not necessarily intended as end user tools but as components aimed at developers. Documentation and UX is aimed at developers not end users.
Audience
The Moby Project is intended for engineers, integrators and enthusiasts looking to modify, hack, fix, experiment, invent and build systems based on containers. It is not for people looking for a commercially supported system, but for people who want to work and learn with open source code.
Relationship with Docker
The components and tools in the Moby Project are initially the open source components that Docker and the community have built for the Docker Project. New projects can be added if they fit with the community goals. Docker is committed to using Moby as the upstream for the Docker Product. However, other projects are also encouraged to use Moby as an upstream, and to reuse the components in diverse ways, and all these uses will be treated in the same way. External maintainers and contributors are welcomed.
The Moby project is not intended as a location for support or feature requests for Docker products, but as a place for contributors to work on open source code, fix bugs, and make the code more useful. The releases are supported by the maintainers, community and users, on a best efforts basis only, and are not intended for customers who want enterprise or commercial support; Docker EE is the appropriate product for these use cases.
