Understanding Containerd
Containerd is an industry-standard core container runtime that is widely used in the container ecosystem. It is responsible for managing the complete container lifecycle of its host system: image transfer and storage, container execution and supervision, and low-level storage and network attachments. Containerd is designed to be embedded into a larger system, such as Docker or Kubernetes, providing a robust and efficient way to manage containers.
Identifying the Symptom: Network Not Found
When working with containerd, you might encounter the error message: "containerd: network not found". This error typically occurs when the network configuration required for container operations is missing or incorrectly specified. This can prevent containers from starting or communicating with each other or external networks.
Exploring the Issue: Network Configuration
The error "network not found" indicates that containerd is unable to locate the specified network. This can happen if the network configuration is not set up correctly or if the network has been deleted or is otherwise unavailable. Containerd relies on network plugins to manage container networking, and any misconfiguration can lead to this error.
Common Causes
- The network name specified in the container configuration does not exist.
- The network plugin is not properly installed or configured.
- Changes in network settings that have not been updated in containerd configurations.
Steps to Fix the Issue
To resolve the "network not found" error in containerd, follow these steps:
1. Verify Network Configuration
First, ensure that the network configuration is correct. Check the network name specified in your container configuration files. You can list available networks using the following command:
docker network ls
Ensure that the network you are trying to use is listed.
2. Check Network Plugin
Ensure that the network plugin required by containerd is installed and configured correctly. For example, if you are using CNI (Container Network Interface), verify that the CNI configuration files are present in the expected directory, usually /etc/cni/net.d/.
3. Recreate the Network
If the network is missing, you may need to recreate it. Use the following command to create a new network:
docker network create <network_name>
Replace <network_name> with the desired network name.
4. Restart Containerd
After making changes to the network configuration, restart the containerd service to apply the changes:
sudo systemctl restart containerd
