amicontained is a container introspection CLI tool that detects which container runtime (docker, lxc, rkt, systemd-nspawn, etc.) it is running inside. It reports available namespaces, user namespace mappings, AppArmor profiles, capabilities, and seccomp filters.

Use cases

  • detect which container runtime a process is running in
  • inspect seccomp filters and blocked syscalls inside a container
  • check apparmor profile enforcement in a container
  • list available linux namespaces and capabilities
  • verify user namespace mappings for container security auditing

When to choose

  • you need to audit the security features and restrictions of a container environment from inside it
  • you want a quick way to identify the container runtime during incident response or debugging

When to avoid

  • you need container management or orchestration, not introspection
  • you require actively maintained tooling - the latest release dates to December 2020
