This page lists the host platform, compute driver, software, runtime, and kernel requirements for running OpenShell.
|
|
|
|
## Supported Platforms
|
|
|
|
OpenShell publishes multi-architecture gateway images for `linux/amd64` and `linux/arm64`. The CLI, policy prover, package-managed gateway, and standalone gateway binary are supported on the following host platforms:
|
|
|
|
| Platform | Architecture | Status |
|
|
| -------------------------------- | --------------------- | --------- |
|
|
| Linux (Debian/Ubuntu) | x86_64 (amd64) | Supported |
|
|
| Linux (Debian/Ubuntu) | aarch64 (arm64) | Supported |
|
|
| macOS (Docker Desktop) | Apple Silicon (arm64) | Supported |
|
|
| Windows (WSL 2 + Docker Desktop) | x86_64 | Experimental |
|
|
|
|
On Linux, the `openshell` CLI is a static musl binary and does not require glibc at runtime.
|
|
|
|
## Standalone Gateway Binary
|
|
|
|
OpenShell publishes standalone `openshell-gateway` release assets for manual download on these platforms:
|
|
|
|
| Platform | Artifact pattern |
|
|
| --------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| Linux x86_64 (amd64) | `openshell-gateway-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu` |
|
|
| Linux aarch64 (arm64) | `openshell-gateway-aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu` |
|
|
| macOS Apple Silicon | `openshell-gateway-aarch64-apple-darwin` |
|
|
|
|
These artifacts are attached to GitHub releases. Kubernetes deployments should use the Helm chart and the published gateway image.
|
|
|
|
On Linux, `openshell-gateway` requires glibc 2.28 or newer. Compatible systems include, for example, Ubuntu 20.04+, RHEL 8+, Rocky Linux 8+, Amazon Linux 2023+, and Fedora 32+.
|
|
|
|
## Standalone Policy Prover
|
|
|
|
OpenShell publishes standalone `openshell-prover` release assets for manual download on these platforms:
|
|
|
|
| Platform | Artifact pattern |
|
|
| --------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| Linux x86_64 (amd64) | `openshell-prover-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz` |
|
|
| Linux aarch64 (arm64) | `openshell-prover-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz` |
|
|
| macOS Apple Silicon | `openshell-prover-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz` |
|
|
|
|
These artifacts are attached to GitHub releases. The Linux binaries are static and do not require glibc. All prover archives include the required solver linkage.
|
|
|
|
## Compute Drivers
|
|
|
|
The gateway can manage sandboxes through several compute drivers.
|
|
|
|
| Compute Driver | Status | Notes |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| Docker | Supported for local development and single-machine gateways. | Requires Docker Desktop or Docker Engine on the gateway host. |
|
|
| Podman | Supported for rootless local and workstation workflows. | Requires a Podman-compatible socket and rootless networking setup. |
|
|
| Kubernetes | Supported through the [OpenShell Helm chart](https://github.com/NVIDIA/OpenShell/blob/main/deploy/helm/openshell/README.md). | Requires a Kubernetes cluster supplied by the operator. |
|
|
| MicroVM | Supported for VM-backed sandboxes. | Uses the VM compute driver and libkrun-based runtime. |
|
|
|
|
## Software Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
Install the software for the compute driver you use:
|
|
|
|
| Component | Minimum Version | Notes |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| Docker Desktop or Docker Engine | 28.0 | Required for Docker-backed gateways, local image builds, and Docker development workflows. |
|
|
| Podman | 5.x | Required for Podman-backed gateways. |
|
|
| Kubernetes | 1.29 | Required for Helm deployments and Kubernetes sandbox scheduling. |
|
|
| Helm | 3.x | Required to install `deploy/helm/openshell`. |
|
|
| kubectl | Compatible with your cluster | Required for Kubernetes operational inspection and secret creation. |
|
|
| Host virtualization | Host dependent | Required for MicroVM-backed gateways. MicroVM uses Hypervisor.framework on macOS and KVM on Linux. |
|
|
|
|
## Workload Images
|
|
|
|
OpenShell accepts standard Linux OCI images. The built-in default workload is
|
|
`nvcr.io/nvidia/base/ubuntu:24.04` for `linux/amd64` and `linux/arm64`. It is a
|
|
minimal Ubuntu Noble userspace and does not bundle agent CLIs. Operators can
|
|
change the default, and users can select an explicit image with `--from`.
|
|
|
|
## Container Images
|
|
|
|
| Image | Reference | Pulled When |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| Gateway | `ghcr.io/nvidia/openshell/gateway:latest` | Helm chart install or upgrade, or standalone container deployment |
|
|
| Default workload | `nvcr.io/nvidia/base/ubuntu:24.04` | First sandbox creation unless preloaded or overridden |
|
|
|
|
The Helm chart in `deploy/helm/openshell` deploys the gateway workload, service account, service, optional persistent storage, and network policy for Kubernetes. It defaults to a StatefulSet for SQLite-backed installs and can render a Deployment for external database-backed installs.
|
|
|
|
To override the default image references, use Helm values:
|
|
|
|
| Helm value | Purpose |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| `image.repository` / `image.tag` | Override the gateway image reference. |
|
|
| `server.sandboxImage` | Override the default sandbox image. |
|
|
|
|
## Kernel Requirements
|
|
|
|
The sandbox boundary requires the following Linux kernel facilities, including
|
|
when it runs inside a container or microVM:
|
|
|
|
| Module | Requirement | Details |
|
|
| -------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
|
|
| [Landlock LSM](https://docs.kernel.org/security/landlock.html) | Required | ABI 3 or newer, introduced in Linux 6.2, with Landlock enabled. The mandatory baseline protects private channel and bootstrap files, including against truncation. A filesystem policy's `best_effort` setting never disables this baseline. |
|
|
| seccomp | Required | Nested user-notification filters and atomic `SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_ADDFD` with `SECCOMP_ADDFD_FLAG_SEND`, usable under the runtime's existing seccomp profile without added capabilities. The sandbox actively probes these operations before admitting the workload. |
|
|
|
|
A kernel version alone does not establish support. A disabled Landlock LSM or a
|
|
runtime profile that blocks the required seccomp operations causes launch to
|
|
fail closed. An upstream Linux 6.2 or newer kernel provides the required
|
|
Landlock ABI; distribution backports must pass the same active qualification.
|
|
|
|
On macOS, these kernel modules run inside the Docker Desktop Linux VM, not on the host kernel.
|
|
|
|
## Agent Compatibility
