What is openshift-imagebuilder
openshift-imagebuilder is:
This package supports using the Dockerfile syntax to build OCI & Docker compatible images, without invoking a container build command such as buildah bud or docker build. It is intended to give clients more control over how they build container images, including:
- Instead of building one layer per line, run all instructions in the same container
- Set HostConfig settings like network and memory controls that are not available when running container builds
- Mount external files into the build that are not persisted as part of the final image (i.e. “secrets”)
- If there are no RUN commands in the Dockerfile, the container is created and committed, but never started. The final image should be 99.9% compatible with regular container builds, but bugs are always possible.
