Preserve and pass in more container configuration settings when initializing and imagebuildah object, and pull more settings back out when committing an image. This should fix most of #97. Signed-off-by: Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com> Closes: #102 Approved by: rhatdan
buildah - a tool for building OCI images
Note: this package is in alpha.
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 a working container's root filesystem for manipulation
- unmount a working container's root filesystem
- use the updated contents of a container's root filesystem as a filesystem layer to create a new image
- delete a working container or an image
