# This container build uses some special features of podman that allow # a process executing as part of a container build to generate a new container # image "from scratch". # # This container build uses nested containerization, so you must build with e.g. # podman build --security-opt=label=disable --cap-add=all --device /dev/fuse <...> # # # Why are we doing this? # # Today this base image build process uses rpm-ostree. There is a lot of things that # rpm-ostree does when generating a container image...but important parts include: # # - auto-updating labels in the container metadata # - Generating "chunked" content-addressed reproducible image layers (notice # how there are ~60 layers in the generated image) # # The latter bit in particular is currently impossible to do from Containerfile. # A future goal is adding some support for this in a way that can be honored by # buildah (xref https://github.com/containers/podman/discussions/12605) # # # Why does this build process require additional privileges? # # Because it's generating a base image and uses containerization features itself. # In the future some of this can be lifted.
