Emilua: A C-powered, Lua-driven Container Runtime Revolution
2025-05-26
Emilua is a novel container runtime built in C and scripted with Lua, supporting diverse kernel technologies like Linux namespaces and FreeBSD jails. Unlike typical CLI-based runtimes, Emilua leverages Lua's programming power for unparalleled flexibility and security, bypassing the risks of using BASH, such as synchronization issues and security vulnerabilities. Security is paramount; Emilua prevents calling binaries from container images and securely erases temporary buffers. Furthermore, Emilua extends to Capsicum sandboxes, demonstrating its adaptability. Emilua offers a more secure and flexible solution, especially for complex scenarios demanding custom container setup phases.
