# Agent Runtime Image Family
|
|
|
|
Container images for running coding-agent harnesses in sandboxed environments (for example the kubernetes sandbox provider, stage 1 of the k8s contribution). Images are named `agent-runtime-{harness}:{version}` and published to `ghcr.io/paperclipai/` by the `agent-runtime-images` workflow. The registry is overridable: every reference flows through the `REGISTRY` bake variable.
|
|
|
|
## Image Lineup
|
|
|
|
- **`agent-runtime-base`**: Foundation. Ubuntu 22.04 + Node 24 + git + tini + non-root user (uid 1000) + the agent shim.
|
|
- **`agent-runtime-opencode`**: Extends base with `opencode-ai` globally installed.
|
|
- **`agent-runtime-pi`**: Extends base with `@mariozechner/pi-coding-agent`.
|
|
- **`agent-runtime-codex`**: Extends base with `@openai/codex`.
|
|
- **`agent-runtime-gemini`**: Extends base with `@google/gemini-cli` plus headless auth-mode settings.
|
|
- **`agent-runtime-claude`**: Extends base with `@anthropic-ai/claude-code` (symlinked as `claude-code`).
|
|
- **`agent-runtime-hermes`**: Dockerfile included in the bake group, not in the default publish scope (stub until a CLI package exists).
|
|
|
|
## Base Image Contents
|
|
|
|
**OS & Runtime:**
|
|
- Ubuntu 22.04
|
|
- Node.js 24 (via NodeSource APT repo)
|
|
- git
|
|
- tini (PID-1 init, ensures signal propagation)
|
|
- Non-root user `paperclip` (uid/gid 1000)
|
|
|
|
The NodeSource install puts `node` on the default `PATH`. The agent shim in this
|
|
image runs the harness directly with that `PATH`. The shim does not source a
|
|
login profile, and the runtime never writes a profile or an rc file. Some
|
|
sandbox providers instead wrap each command in a login shell. That shell sources
|
|
`/etc/profile` and the user profile files to read an owner-supplied `PATH`. No
|
|
exec path sources `nvm`. For the full exec-path contract, see
|
|
`packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/SANDBOX-REQUIREMENTS.md`.
|
|
|
|
**Paperclip Binaries:**
|
|
- `/usr/local/bin/paperclip-agent-shim`: Go binary compiled from `tools/agent-shim/`. Reads `/run/paperclip/runtime-command.json` and `syscall.Exec`s the harness CLI.
|
|
|
|
**Defaults:**
|
|
- `USER`: 1000:1000 (paperclip, non-root)
|
|
- `WORKDIR`: `/workspace` (mount workspace volumes here)
|
|
- `ENTRYPOINT`: `/usr/bin/tini --` (PID-1 reaper, forwards signals)
|
|
- `CMD`: `/usr/local/bin/paperclip-agent-shim`
|
|
|
|
## Building Locally
|
|
|
|
All targets build `linux/amd64` by default (see `buildx-bake.hcl`). Derived images chain off the `base` target through bake `contexts`, so the literal registry in each `FROM` line is overridden at build time and the whole family builds in one pass without pushing intermediates.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker buildx bake -f docker/agent-runtime/buildx-bake.hcl --load
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Custom tag or registry
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
REGISTRY=myregistry VERSION=mytag \
|
|
docker buildx bake -f docker/agent-runtime/buildx-bake.hcl --load
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Quickstart Smoke Test
|
|
|
|
Build and verify the `agent-runtime-claude` image runs locally:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker buildx bake -f docker/agent-runtime/buildx-bake.hcl base claude --load
|
|
docker run --rm ghcr.io/paperclipai/agent-runtime-claude:dev claude-code --version
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Agent Container (paperclip-agent-shim)
|
|
|
|
The main agent process runs as the shim (PID 1 under tini). The shim:
|
|
|
|
1. Reads `/run/paperclip/runtime-command.json` (path overridable via `-spec`), a JSON file mounted by whatever schedules the run
|
|
2. Parses `{ "command", "args" }`: the harness CLI and arguments
|
|
3. Resolves the command on PATH and `syscall.Exec`s it, replacing itself
|
|
4. SIGTERM from the kubelet propagates directly to the harness (no zombie processes)
|
|
|
|
**runtime-command.json Contract:**
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"command": "claude-code",
|
|
"args": ["--token", "xyz", "--workspace", "/workspace"]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The shim makes no assumptions about command structure; it is harness-agnostic. New harnesses swap the command/args; the base image stays the same.
|
|
|
|
## Security Model
|
|
|
|
- **Non-root execution**: user 1000:1000, no capability grants
|
|
- **PSS Restricted compatible**: no privileged containers, no host mounts; works with a read-only root filesystem (writable `/workspace` + `/tmp` mounts)
|
|
- **No secrets baked in**: API tokens and credentials come from per-run ephemeral Secrets mounted as env vars or files
|
|
- **Image signing**: cosign keyless OIDC in the publish workflow
|
|
|
|
## Publishing
|
|
|
|
`.github/workflows/agent-runtime-images.yml` builds and pushes the default scope (base, opencode, pi, codex, gemini, claude) on `workflow_dispatch` (with an explicit version tag) or on pushes to `master` touching these paths, then signs each digest with cosign keyless OIDC.
