Microk8s: how to share containerd instance with docker

General Discussions microk8s

I am wondering if there’s a way to share with a local microk8s the containerd instance configured by docker.
I’ve tried editing /var/snap/microk8s/current/args/kubelet and /var/snap/microk8s/current/args/ctr but microk8s still continues to start its own containerd instance

MicroK8s v1.25.5 revision 4418
Docker 20.10.23
(contaienrd 1.6.15)

Hi @davidecavestro. There is no official way to get MicroK8s use an external containerd, however your approach is right. You can ignore the containerd MicroK8s ships and let kubelet use the external one.
