Which containerd plugins can be safely disabled for a docker compatible workload?

[Jip-Hop]

Which plugins can I safely add to disabled_plugins in the containerd config.toml? I'm running containerd just for nerdctl and want to keep the docker compatible features working such as nerdctl run and nerdctl compose.

I have now disabled cri as I don't think I need it. Or does nerdctl need it?

version = 2
# cri is not used by nerdctl, or is it?
disabled_plugins = ["io.containerd.grpc.v1.cri"]

Which additional plugins can I add to the disabled_plugins list?

P.S. I got this error when starting containerd:

ERRO failed to load cni during init, please check CRI plugin status before setting up network for pods error="cni config load failed: no network config found in /etc/cni/net.d: cni plugin not initialized: failed to load cni config"

Then I found:

Note that the [plugins."io.containerd.grpc.v1.cri"] section is specific to CRI,
and not recognized by other containerd clients such as ctr, nerdctl, and Docker/Moby.

So decided to just disable the cri plugin...
