Containerd port mapping from host to container

Question

I am new to containerd and trying to run a simple application with Containerd. I am using ctr to access images, containers and tasks.

In case of a Docker I used to give command as docker run -p 8085:8085 imageId:version

This mapped my host to the container and gave a way for me to expose APIS from container to the host and outside world.

But I am not sure how to do this using ctr in containerd. Also kindly let me know if it is possible or not.

Thanks in advance.

You cannot map from container to outside work using the ctr command. Instead, use nerdctl (https://github.com/containerd/nerdctl) as it has the same docker CLI functionality.
