Buildah Alternatives

buildah reviews and mentions

• Using S3 as a Container Registry
  8 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 12 Jul 2024

  If $PROGRAMMING_LANGUAGE = go, you might be looking for https://github.com/containers/storage which can create layers, images, and so on. I think `Store` is the main entry: https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/containers/storage#Store

  Buildah uses it: https://github.com/containers/buildah/blob/main/go.mod#L27C2...

• Podman Desktop 1.11: Light mode and new Kubernetes features
  7 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 26 Jun 2024

  Like wayland, podman was one of those things that took a lot of "I'll give it another shot? Nope, not ready" before I could switch.

  Lately the only real incompatibility I run in to with podman is that the handling of `RUN --mount=type=secret` in a Containerfile/Dockerfile is a bit broken (https://github.com/containers/buildah/issues/5282).

• Using ARG in a Dockerfile – beware the gotcha

  I wish we would rather get rid of Dockerfile in favor of something like buildah does:

  https://github.com/containers/buildah/blob/main/examples/lig...

  Since Dockerfile is a rather limited and (IMHO) poorly executed re-implementation of a shell script, why not rather use shell directly? Not even bash with coreutils is necessary: even posix sh with busybox can do far more than Dockerfile, and you can use something else (like Python) and take it very far indeed.

• A gopher’s journey to the center of container images
  5 projects | dev.to | 23 Nov 2023

  For the task of building the graph image, my first idea was to rely on buildah. In fact, our design was already heavily relying on containers/image for all things regarding copying images from one registry to the other, or from one registry to an archive. The obvious choice was to use the same suite of modules in order to keep dependencies to a minimum.

• Podman Desktop for Java Development
  1 project | /r/java | 8 May 2023

  I appreciate that podman can run daemonless, but I've gotten tired of waiting for them to implement heredoc support and have continued to use docker.

• How to use Podman inside of a container
  4 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 26 Apr 2023

  You do realize that, under the hood, buildah uses a container engine (runc by default)? See https://github.com/containers/buildah/blob/main/docs/buildah...

• How to use Buildah to create a build-service written in golang
  1 project | /r/podman | 14 Mar 2023

  I found this small tutorial: https://github.com/containers/buildah/blob/main/docs/tutorials/04-include-in-your-build-tool.md and it works.

• From code to customers in just 13 seconds.

• Podman v4.4, Buildah v1.29 released!
  4 projects | /r/podman | 9 Feb 2023

  Last week, Buildah version 1.29 was also released. The prune command has been added to clean intermediate images as well as the build and mount cache.  Support for the –group-add option to the from and build commands was added. One useful feature of this, it to use the –group-add keep-groups option, which allows rootless users to take advantage of their group access to file and devices mounted into the build containers. And the –cache-from and –cache-to options for the build command now allow for multiple sources. This can be used to improve the speed of builds, especially in CI/CD environments.
