Fail to build Docker containers when running containerd 1.7.24

[spikecurtis]

When the inner container uses Docker with containerd version 1.7.24, then Docker builds fail with

runc run failed: unable to start container process: error during container init: error mounting "proc" to rootfs at "/proc": mount src=proc, dst=/proc, dstFd=/proc/thread-self/fd/8, flags=0xe: no such file or directory

This appears to be an incompatibility between Sysbox and containerd.

Sysbox issue: nestybox/sysbox#879
Containerd Issue: containerd/containerd#11083

We should monitor these until a resolution is found and then upgrade our bundled sysbox if necessary.

Until this is resolved, envbox users should pin containerd at version 1.7.23 inside their workspace images.

For example, if your inner container uses APT, you can set up a pin (e.g. /etc/apt/preferences.d/containerd):

Package: containerd.io
Pin: version 1.7.23-1
Pin-Priority: 1001

Thanks, this has worked for us.

@spikecurtis Can we consider this closed, or are we waiting for an upstream fix/release?

[spikecurtis]

The fixed Sysbox release just shipped, v0.6.6. We need a new release of envbox with the latest sysbox. @bpmct

Is there an ETA for the next official release which includes Sysbox 0.6.6? I'm using the latest envbox-preview image for now.

@ryan-blunden 0.6.2 is out now if you'd prefer to use that.
