## ✅ Step-by-step: Connect Rust to containerd via gRPC
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
CREATE A rhai script executing the following instructions below
 | 
						|
use all rhai script features we have + give priority to what functions we have defined in /src/docs/docs/sal in this repo
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
---
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### 1. 🧱 Install Dependencies
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Add this to your `Cargo.toml`:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```toml
 | 
						|
[dependencies]
 | 
						|
tonic = "0.11"
 | 
						|
prost = "0.12"
 | 
						|
tokio = { version = "1", features = ["full"] }
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
[build-dependencies]
 | 
						|
tonic-build = "0.11"
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
---
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### 2. 📁 Clone containerd's gRPC proto files
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
git clone https://github.com/containerd/containerd.git
 | 
						|
cd containerd
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Containerd's API protos are in:  
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
api/services/         # gRPC service definitions
 | 
						|
api/types/            # message types
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
---
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### 3. 📦 Set up `build.rs` to compile protos
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
In your Rust project root, create a `build.rs` file:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```rust
 | 
						|
fn main() {
 | 
						|
    tonic_build::configure()
 | 
						|
        .build_server(false)
 | 
						|
        .compile(
 | 
						|
            &[
 | 
						|
                "containerd/api/services/images/v1/images.proto", 
 | 
						|
                "containerd/api/services/containers/v1/containers.proto",
 | 
						|
                // Add more proto files as needed
 | 
						|
            ],
 | 
						|
            &[
 | 
						|
                "containerd/api", 
 | 
						|
                "containerd/api/types"
 | 
						|
            ],
 | 
						|
        )
 | 
						|
        .unwrap();
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Make sure to place the `containerd` directory somewhere your build can see — for example, symlink it or move it into your project as `proto/containerd`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### 4. 🧪 Example: Connect to containerd's image service
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
After `build.rs` compiles the protos, your code can access them like this:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```rust
 | 
						|
use tonic::transport::Channel;
 | 
						|
use containerd::services::images::v1::{
 | 
						|
    images_client::ImagesClient,
 | 
						|
    GetImageRequest,
 | 
						|
};
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#[tokio::main]
 | 
						|
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
 | 
						|
    // Connect to containerd's gRPC socket (default path)
 | 
						|
    let channel = Channel::from_static("http://[::]:50051") // placeholder
 | 
						|
        .connect()
 | 
						|
        .await?;
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    let mut client = ImagesClient::new(channel);
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    let response = client.get(GetImageRequest {
 | 
						|
        name: "docker.io/library/ubuntu:latest".to_string(),
 | 
						|
    }).await?;
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    println!("Image: {:?}", response.into_inner());
 | 
						|
    Ok(())
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
🔧 Note: containerd uses a **Unix socket**, so replace the channel connection with:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```rust
 | 
						|
use tonic::transport::{Endpoint, Uri};
 | 
						|
use tower::service_fn;
 | 
						|
use hyper_unix_connector::UnixConnector;
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
let uds = tokio::net::UnixStream::connect("/run/containerd/containerd.sock").await?;
 | 
						|
let channel = Endpoint::try_from("http://[::]:50051")?
 | 
						|
    .connect_with_connector(service_fn(move |_| async move {
 | 
						|
        Ok::<_, std::io::Error>(uds)
 | 
						|
    }))
 | 
						|
    .await?;
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
(We can wrap that part into a helper if you want.)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
---
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### 5. 🔁 Rebuild the project
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Each time you add or change a `.proto`, rebuild to regenerate code:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
cargo clean && cargo build
 | 
						|
```
 |
