In our recent [[https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/red-hat-and-webassembly][blog post]] on Web Assembly we highlighted the implementation of WASM support into the [[https://github.com/containers/crun/][crun]] Open Container Initiative (OCI) runtime. This change paves the way for Podman and OpenShift to run WASM workloads.
This demo will step through how wasm
This demo will step through how WASM modules can be run alongside traditional workloads in Podman.
* Install wasm runtime
Our first pre-requisite step is to ensure our machine has a WASM runtime installed. For this demo we will use [[https://wasmedge.org/][WasmEdge]].
Run the code block below to install WasmEdge into the ~/usr/local/~ dir using the project install script.
#+NAME: Install wasmedge
#+begin_src tmate :socket /tmp/james.tmate.tmate
# Install via script
curl -sSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/WasmEdge/WasmEdge/master/utils/install.sh | sudo bash -s -- -p /usr/local
# Verify installed version
wasmedge --version
#+end_src
* Compile crun with wasm support
To demo this capability on our own machine we need to ensure we have a version of ~crun~ available that has support for WASM. In my case I needed to download and compile a newer release including the ~as follows:
Once ~wasmedge~ is available we then need to ensure we have a version of ~crun~ available that has support for WASM. In my case I needed to download and compile a newer release including the ~--with-wasmedge~ compile flag.
We need to start with installing compile dependencies, these are listed [[https://github.com/containers/crun#ubuntu][here]] in the official docs.
#+NAME: Install compile dependencies
#+begin_src tmate :socket /tmp/james.tmate.tmate
sudo apt-get install --yes make git gcc build-essential pkgconf libtool libsystemd-dev libprotobuf-c-dev libcap-dev libseccomp-dev libyajl-dev libgcrypt20-dev go-md2man autoconf python3 automake
#+end_src
Once the required dependencies are present on our system we can clone down the source and compile it with the additional wasmedge flag.

If everything worked correctly we can see the ~+WASM:wasmedge~ flag in our crun version information:
#+NAME: Check crun flags
#+begin_src tmate :socket /tmp/james.tmate.tmate
crun --version
#+end_src
The output should look something like the example below:
