Note: this package is pre-alpha, and will either move to an organization or be merged into a different project at some point.
The buildah package provides a command line tool which can be used to
- create a working container, either from scratch or using an image as a starting point
- mount the working container's root filesystem for manipulation
- umount the working container's root filesystem
- use the updated contents of the container's root filesystem as a filesystem layer to create a new image
- delete a working container
Future goals include:
- docs
- CI tests
- refactoring the CLI tool's logic into a library that the CLI tool will wrap
- additional CLI commands (run, copy, add, build?)
