Support for other Container Runtimes

[christianhuth]

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be awesome if we could use the provided Docker images on systems that don't use Docker and use other Container Runtimes like containerd or CRI-O for example. This would also enable the usage of glances in Kubernetes.

Hi @christianknell

a related feature request concerning Podman is already in developement (#1985) but looking for contributors...

In order to manage multiple container runtimes, the code should be completely refactor. The most imprtant think is the availabilty of an API in order to grab the stats. Ideally through a Python client...

Some docs for future development:

Containerd:

• https://github.com/siemens/pycontainerd
• https://dnephin.github.io/containerd/github.com/containerd/containerd/api/services/images/v1/images.html

CRI-o:

• https://github.com/feiskyer/python-cri

@christianknell

Just to get this clear, your request is for glances to support running in other runtimes than just docker.
That is have pre-built glances container images to run on a container engine like containerd?

Did I get that right?

[christianhuth]

Yes that's right @RazCrimson
