Per-service specification

Fields

rtype: ResourceType

Resource type (service, job, cron)

schedule: Option<String>

Cron schedule expression (only for rtype: cron) Uses 7-field cron syntax: “sec min hour day-of-month month day-of-week year” Examples:

• “0 0 0 * * * *” (daily at midnight)
• “0 */5 * * * * *” (every 5 minutes)
• “0 0 12 * * MON-FRI *” (weekdays at noon)

image: ImageSpec

Container image specification

resources: ResourcesSpec

Resource limits

env: HashMap<String, String>

Environment variables for the service

Values can be:

• Plain strings: "value"
• Host env refs: $E:VAR_NAME
• Secret refs: $S:secret-name or $S:@service/secret-name

command: CommandSpec

Command override (entrypoint, args, workdir)

network: ServiceNetworkSpec

Network configuration

endpoints: Vec<EndpointSpec>

Endpoint definitions (proxy bindings)

scale: ScaleSpec

Scaling configuration

depends: Vec<DependsSpec>

Dependency specifications

health: HealthSpec

Health check configuration

init: InitSpec

Init actions (pre-start lifecycle steps)

errors: ErrorsSpec

Error handling policies

lifecycle: LifecycleSpec

Container lifecycle policy (e.g., delete-on-exit).

Purely declarative on this type; downstream layers (agent / API / scheduler) read this field to decide whether to clean up the container record after termination.

devices: Vec<DeviceSpec>

Device passthrough (e.g., /dev/kvm for VMs)

storage: Vec<StorageSpec>

Storage mounts for the container

port_mappings: Vec<PortMapping>

Host-to-container port mappings (Docker’s -p host:container/proto).

Each entry publishes a container port on the host. When host_port is None (or zero), the daemon assigns an ephemeral host port.

capabilities: Vec<String>

Linux capabilities to add (e.g., SYS_ADMIN, NET_ADMIN).

Also accepts the Docker-compatible alias cap_add on input.

cap_drop: Vec<String>

Linux capabilities to drop (Docker --cap-drop).

privileged: bool

Run container in privileged mode (all capabilities + all devices)

node_mode: NodeMode

Node allocation mode (shared, dedicated, exclusive)

node_selector: Option<NodeSelector>

Node selection constraints (required/preferred labels)

platform: Option<TargetPlatform>

Target platform for this service. When None (default), the service is eligible to run on any agent regardless of OS/architecture. When Some, the scheduler will only place replicas on agents whose platform matches.

service_type: ServiceType

Service type (standard, wasm_http, wasm_plugin, etc.)

wasm: Option<WasmConfig>

WASM configuration (used when service_type is any Wasm* variant) Also accepts the deprecated wasm_http key for backward compatibility.

logs: Option<LogsConfig>

Log output configuration. If not set, uses platform defaults.

host_network: bool

Use host networking (container shares host network namespace)

When true, the container will NOT get its own network namespace. This is set programmatically via the --host-network CLI flag, not in YAML specs.

hostname: Option<String>

Container hostname (maps to Docker’s --hostname).

When set, the container’s /etc/hostname and initial kernel hostname are configured to this value. Ignored when host_network is true (the container inherits the host’s hostname).

dns: Vec<String>

Additional DNS servers for the container (maps to Docker’s --dns).

Each entry must be a plausible IPv4 or IPv6 address. Forwarded to the container runtime as resolver addresses ahead of the platform defaults. Ignored when host_network is true.

extra_hosts: Vec<String>

Extra hostname:ip entries appended to /etc/hosts (maps to Docker’s --add-host).

Each entry must be in the form "<hostname>:<ip>". The special literal host-gateway is accepted as the <ip> half (resolved by Docker / bollard to the host-visible gateway address, commonly used with host.docker.internal:host-gateway).

restart_policy: Option<ContainerRestartPolicy>

Container restart policy (Docker-style).

Controls when the runtime should automatically restart the container after it exits. Maps to Docker’s HostConfig.RestartPolicy. Named ContainerRestartPolicy to avoid colliding with ZLayer’s existing PanicPolicy (which controls post-panic behavior, not runtime-level restarts).

labels: HashMap<String, String>

Free-form key/value labels attached to the container (Docker --label).

user: Option<String>

User and group override for the container’s main process (Docker --user uid:gid).

stop_signal: Option<String>

Signal sent to the container’s main process to request a graceful shutdown (Docker --stop-signal). Accepts e.g. "SIGTERM" or "15".

stop_grace_period: Option<Duration>

Grace period to wait between the stop signal and a forced kill (Docker --stop-timeout).

sysctls: HashMap<String, String>

Kernel sysctl overrides (Docker --sysctl).

ulimits: HashMap<String, UlimitSpec>

Per-process ulimits (Docker --ulimit).

security_opt: Vec<String>

Security options such as apparmor=..., seccomp=..., no-new-privileges:true (Docker --security-opt).

pid_mode: Option<String>

PID namespace mode (Docker --pid). Accepts e.g. "host" or "container:<id>".

ipc_mode: Option<String>

IPC namespace mode (Docker --ipc). Accepts e.g. "host", "shareable", "private", or "container:<id>".

network_mode: NetworkMode

Network mode (Docker --network). Accepts both the enum-tagged form and the Docker-style strings ("host", "none", "bridge", "bridge:<name>", "container:<id>").

extra_groups: Vec<String>

Additional groups to add to the container process (Docker --group-add).

read_only_root_fs: bool

Mount the container’s root filesystem read-only (Docker --read-only).

init_container: Option<bool>

Run a Docker-supplied init process (PID 1) inside the container (Docker --init). Distinct from ServiceSpec::init which controls ZLayer’s pre-start init actions.

tty: bool

Allocate a TTY for the container’s main process (Docker --tty, compose tty: true).

stdin_open: bool

Keep STDIN open even when nothing is attached (Docker --interactive, compose stdin_open: true).

userns_mode: Option<String>

User namespace mode (Docker --userns). Accepts e.g. "host" or a remap-spec name configured on the daemon.

cgroup_parent: Option<String>

Cgroup parent path (Docker --cgroup-parent). When set, the runtime places the container under the given cgroup hierarchy.

expose: Vec<String>

Container ports exposed but not published to the host (compose expose:). Each entry is a port string, optionally port/proto (e.g. "3000", "8080/tcp"). Treated as documentation by the runtime; downstream networking layers may use this list to allow inter-service traffic without publishing to the host.
