# Rkt Driver - Experimental
Name: `rkt`
The `rkt` driver provides an interface for using CoreOS rkt for running
application containers. Currently, the driver supports launching
containers but does not support resource isolation or dynamic ports. This can
lead to resource over commitment and port conflicts and as such, this driver is
being marked as experimental and should be used with care.
## Task Configuration
The `rkt` driver supports the following configuration in the job spec:
* `image` - The image to run which may be specified by name, hash, ACI address
or docker registry.
* `command` - (Optional) A command to execute on the ACI.
* `args` - (Optional) A list of arguments to the image.
* `trust_prefix` - (Optional) The trust prefix to be passed to rkt. Must be
reachable from the box running the nomad agent. If not specified, the image is
run without verifying the image signature.
## Task Directories
The `rkt` driver currently does not support mounting of the `alloc/` and `local/` directory.
Once support is added, version `v0.10.0` or above of `rkt` will be required.
## Client Requirements
The `rkt` driver requires rkt to be installed and in your systems `$PATH`.
The `trust_prefix` must be accessible by the node running Nomad. This can be an
internal source, private to your cluster, but it must be reachable by the client
over HTTP.
## Client Attributes
The `rkt` driver will set the following client attributes:
* `driver.rkt` - Set to `1` if rkt is found on the host node. Nomad determines
this by executing `rkt version` on the host and parsing the output
* `driver.rkt.version` - Version of `rkt` eg: `0.8.1`
* `driver.rkt.appc.version` - Version of `appc` that `rkt` is using eg: `0.8.1`
## Resource Isolation
This driver does not support any resource isolation as of now.
