Function create_runtime 

pub async fn create_runtime(
    config: RuntimeConfig,
    auth_ctx: Option<ContainerAuthContext>,
) -> Result<Arc<dyn Runtime + Send + Sync>>

Create a runtime based on the provided configuration

Arguments

• config - The runtime configuration specifying which runtime to use

Returns

An Arc<dyn Runtime + Send + Sync> that can be used with ServiceManager

Errors

Returns AgentError if the runtime cannot be initialized (e.g., failed to create required directories, no runtime available for Auto mode)

Runtime Selection for Auto Mode

When RuntimeConfig::Auto is specified:

• Linux: Uses bundled libcontainer runtime (no external binary needed), falls back to Docker
• macOS: Uses sandbox runtime (native Metal/MPS), falls back to VM runtime (libkrun), then Docker
• Windows: Uses Docker directly
• If no runtime can be initialized, returns an error

Example

use zlayer_agent::{RuntimeConfig, create_runtime};

let runtime = create_runtime(RuntimeConfig::Auto, None).await?;
