containerd-config.toml - configuration file for containerd

.SH SYNOPSIS
.PP
The \fBconfig.toml\fP file is a configuration file for the containerd daemon. The
file must be placed at \fB/etc/containerd/config.toml\fP or specified with the
\fB--config\fP option of \fBcontainerd\fP to be used by the daemon. If the file
does not exist at the appropriate location or is not provided via the
\fB--config\fP option containerd uses its default configuration settings, which
can be displayed with the \fBcontainerd config(1)\fP command.

.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
The TOML file used to configure the containerd daemon settings has a short
list of global settings followed by a series of sections for specific areas
of daemon configuration. There is also a section for \fBplugins\fP that allows
each containerd plugin to have an area for plugin-specific configuration and
settings.

.SH FORMAT
.TP
\fBversion\fP
The version field in the config file specifies the config’s version. If no
version number is specified inside the config file then it is assumed to be a
version 1 config and parsed as such. Please use version = 2 to enable version 2
config as version 1 has been deprecated.

\fBimports\fP
Imports is a list of additional configuration files to include.
This allows to split the main configuration file and keep some sections
separately (for example vendors may keep a custom runtime configuration in a
separate file without modifying the main \fB\fCconfig.toml\fR).
Imported files will overwrite simple fields like \fB\fCint\fR or
\fB\fCstring\fR (if not empty) and will append \fB\fCarray\fR and \fB\fCmap\fR fields.
Imported files are also versioned, and the version can't be higher than
the main config.

.PP
\fBstream_processors\fP

.RS
.IP \(bu 2
\fBaccepts\fP (Default: "[]") Accepts specific media-types
.IP \(bu 2
\fBreturns\fP (Default: "") Returns the media-type
.IP \(bu 2
\fBpath\fP (Default: "") Path or name of the binary
.IP \(bu 2
\fBargs\fP (Default: "[]") Args to the binary
