A Containerfile uses the same syntax as a Dockerfile internally. For this document, a file referred to as a Containerfile can be a file named either 'Containerfile' or 'Dockerfile'. + +The build context directory can be specified as the http(s) URL of an archive, git repository or Containerfile. + +If no context directory is specified, then Podman will assume the current working directory as the build context, which should contain the Containerfile. + +Containerfiles ending with a ".in" suffix will be preprocessed via CPP(1). This can be useful to decompose Containerfiles into several reusable parts that can be used via CPP's **#include** directive. Notice, a Containerfile.in file can still be used by other tools when manually preprocessing them via `cpp -E`. + +When the URL is an archive, the contents of the URL is downloaded to a temporary location and extracted before execution. + +When the URL is an Containerfile, the Containerfile is downloaded to a temporary location. + +When a Git repository is set as the URL, the repository is cloned locally and then set as the context. + +## OPTIONS + +**--add-host**=*host* + +Add a custom host-to-IP mapping (host:ip) + +Add a line to /etc/hosts. The format is hostname:ip. The **--add-host** option can be set multiple times. + +**--annotation**=*annotation* + +Add an image *annotation* (e.g. annotation=*value*) to the image metadata. Can be used multiple times. + +Note: this information is not present in Docker image formats, so it is discarded when writing images in Docker formats. + +**--authfile**=*path* + +Path of the authentication file. Default is ${XDG\_RUNTIME\_DIR}/containers/auth.json, which is set using `podman login`. +If the authorization state is not found there, $HOME/.docker/config.json is checked, which is set using `docker login`. (Not available for remote commands) + +Note: You can also override the default path of the authentication file by setting the REGISTRY\_AUTH\_FILE +environment variable. `export REGISTRY_AUTH_FILE=path` + +**--build-arg**=*arg=value* + +Specifies a build argument and its value, which will be interpolated in +instructions read from the Containerfiles in the same way that environment +variables are, but which will not be added to environment variable list in the +resulting image's configuration. + +**--cache-from** + +Images to utilize as potential cache sources. Podman does not currently support caching so this is a NOOP. + +**--cap-add**=*CAP\_xxx* + +When executing RUN instructions, run the command specified in the instruction +with the specified capability added to its capability set. +Certain capabilities are granted by default; this option can be used to add +more. + +**--cap-drop**=*CAP\_xxx* + +When executing RUN instructions, run the command specified in the instruction +with the specified capability removed from its capability set. +The CAP\_AUDIT\_WRITE, CAP\_CHOWN, CAP\_DAC\_OVERRIDE, CAP\_FOWNER, +CAP\_FSETID, CAP\_KILL, CAP\_MKNOD, CAP\_NET\_BIND\_SERVICE, CAP\_SETFCAP, +CAP\_SETGID, CAP\_SETPCAP, CAP\_SETUID, and CAP\_SYS\_CHROOT capabilities are +granted by default; this option can be used to remove them. + +If a capability is specified to both the **--cap-add** and **--cap-drop** +options, it will be dropped, regardless of the order in which the options were +given. + +**--cert-dir**=*path* + +Use certificates at *path* (\*.crt, \*.cert, \*.key) to connect to the registry. +Default certificates directory is _/etc/containers/certs.d_. (Not available for remote commands) + +**--cgroup-parent**=*path* + +Path to cgroups under which the cgroup for the container will be created. If the path is not absolute, the path is considered to be relative to the cgroups path of the init process. Cgroups will be created if they do not already exist. + +**--compress** + +This option is added to be aligned with other containers CLIs. +Podman doesn't communicate with a daemon or a remote server. +Thus, compressing the data before sending it is irrelevant to Podman. + +**--cni-config-dir**=*directory* + +Location of CNI configuration files which will dictate which plugins will be +used to configure network interfaces and routing for containers created for +handling `RUN` instructions, if those containers will be run in their own +network namespaces, and networking is not disabled. + +**--cni-plugin-path**=*directory[:directory[:directory[...]]]* + +List of directories in which the CNI plugins which will be used for configuring +network namespaces can be found. + +**--cpu-period**=*limit* + +Limit the CPU CFS (Completely Fair Scheduler) period + +Limit the container's CPU usage. This flag tell the kernel to restrict the container's CPU usage to the period you specify. + +**--cpu-quota**=*limit* + +Limit the CPU CFS (Completely Fair Scheduler) quota + +Limit the container's CPU usage. By default, containers run with the full +CPU resource. This flag tell the kernel to restrict the container's CPU usage +to the quota you specify. + +**--cpu-shares**, **-c**=*shares* + +CPU shares (relative weight) + +By default, all containers get the same proportion of CPU cycles. This proportion +can be modified by changing the container's CPU share weighting relative +to the weighting of all other running containers. + +To modify the proportion from the default of 1024, use the **--cpu-shares** +flag to set the weighting to 2 or higher. + +The proportion will only apply when CPU-intensive processes are running. +When tasks in one container are idle, other containers can use the +left-over CPU time. The actual amount of CPU time will vary depending on +the number of containers running on the system. + +For example, consider three containers, one has a cpu-share of 1024 and +two others have a cpu-share setting of 512. When processes in all three +containers attempt to use 100% of CPU, the first container would receive +50% of the total CPU time. If you add a fourth container with a cpu-share +of 1024, the first container only gets 33% of the CPU. The remaining containers +receive 16.5%, 16.5% and 33% of the CPU. + +On a multi-core system, the shares of CPU time are distributed over all CPU +cores. Even if a container is limited to less than 100% of CPU time, it can +use 100% of each individual CPU core. + +For example, consider a system with more than three cores. If you start one +container **{C0}** with **-c=512** running one process, and another container +**{C1}** with **-c=1024** running two processes, this can result in the following +division of CPU shares: + + PID container CPU CPU share + 100 {C0} 0 100% of CPU0 + 101 {C1} 1 100% of CPU1 + 102 {C1} 2 100% of CPU2 + +**--cpuset-cpus**=*num* + + CPUs in which to allow execution (0-3, 0,1) + +**--cpuset-mems**=*nodes* + +Memory nodes (MEMs) in which to allow execution (0-3, 0,1). Only effective on NUMA systems. + +If you have four memory nodes on your system (0-3), use `--cpuset-mems=0,1` +then processes in your container will only use memory from the first +two memory nodes. + +**--creds**=*creds* + +The [username[:password]] to use to authenticate with the registry if required. +If one or both values are not supplied, a command line prompt will appear and the +value can be entered. The password is entered without echo. + +**--device**=*device* + +Add a host device to the container. The format is `<device-on-host>[:<device-on-container>][:<permissions>]` (e.g. --device=/dev/sdc:/dev/xvdc:rwm) + +**--disable-compression, -D** + +Don't compress filesystem layers when building the image unless it is required +by the location where the image is being written. This is the default setting, +because image layers are compressed automatically when they are pushed to +registries, and images being written to local storage would only need to be +decompressed again to be stored. Compression can be forced in all cases by +specifying **--disable-compression=false**. + +**--disable-content-trust** + +This is a Docker specific option to disable image verification to a Docker +registry and is not supported by Podman. This flag is a NOOP and provided +solely for scripting compatibility. + +**--dns**=*dns* + +Set custom DNS servers + +This option can be used to override the DNS configuration passed to the container. Typically this is necessary when the host DNS configuration is invalid for the container (e.g., 127.0.0.1). When this is the case the `--dns` flag is necessary for every run. + +The special value **none** can be specified to disable creation of /etc/resolv.conf in the container by Podman. The /etc/resolv.conf file in the image will be used without changes. + +**--dns-option**=*option* + +Set custom DNS options + +**--dns-search**=*domain* + +Set custom DNS search domains + +**--file**, **-f**=*Containerfile* + +Specifies a Containerfile which contains instructions for building the image, +either a local file or an **http** or **https** URL. If more than one +Containerfile is specified, *FROM* instructions will only be accepted from the +first specified file. + +If a build context is not specified, and at least one Containerfile is a +local file, the directory in which it resides will be used as the build +context. + +If you specify `-f -`, the Containerfile contents will be read from stdin. + +**--force-rm**=*true|false* + +Always remove intermediate containers after a build, even if the build fails (default false). + +**--format** + +Control the format for the built image's manifest and configuration data. +Recognized formats include *oci* (OCI image-spec v1.0, the default) and +*docker* (version 2, using schema format 2 for the manifest). + +Note: You can also override the default format by setting the BUILDAH\_FORMAT +environment variable. `export BUILDAH_FORMAT=docker` + +**-h**, **--help** + +Print usage statement + +**--iidfile**=*ImageIDfile* + +Write the image ID to the file. + +**--ipc**=*how* + +Sets the configuration for IPC namespaces when handling `RUN` instructions. +The configured value can be "" (the empty string) or "container" to indicate +that a new IPC namespace should be created, or it can be "host" to indicate +that the IPC namespace in which `podman` itself is being run should be reused, +or it can be the path to an IPC namespace which is already in use by +another process. + +**--isolation**=*type* + +Controls what type of isolation is used for running processes as part of `RUN` +instructions. Recognized types include *oci* (OCI-compatible runtime, the +default), *rootless* (OCI-compatible runtime invoked using a modified +configuration and its --rootless flag enabled, with *--no-new-keyring +--no-pivot* added to its *create* invocation, with network and UTS namespaces +disabled, and IPC, PID, and user namespaces enabled; the default for +unprivileged users), and *chroot* (an internal wrapper that leans more toward +chroot(1) than container technology). + +Note: You can also override the default isolation type by setting the +BUILDAH\_ISOLATION environment variable. `export BUILDAH_ISOLATION=oci` + +**--label**=*label* + +Add an image *label* (e.g. label=*value*) to the image metadata. Can be used multiple times. + +**--layers** + +Cache intermediate images during the build process (Default is `true`). + +Note: You can also override the default value of layers by setting the BUILDAH\_LAYERS +environment variable. `export BUILDAH_LAYERS=true` + +**--logfile**=*filename* + +Log output which would be sent to standard output and standard error to the +specified file instead of to standard output and standard error. + +**--loglevel** *number* + +Adjust the logging level up or down. Valid option values range from -2 to 3, +with 3 being roughly equivalent to using the global *--debug* option, and +values below 0 omitting even error messages which accompany fatal errors. + +**--memory**, **-m**=*LIMIT* +Memory limit (format: <number>[<unit>], where unit = b (bytes), k (kilobytes), m (megabytes), or g (gigabytes)) + +Allows you to constrain the memory available to a container. If the host +supports swap memory, then the **-m** memory setting can be larger than physical +RAM. If a limit of 0 is specified (not using **-m**), the container's memory is +not limited. The actual limit may be rounded up to a multiple of the operating +system's page size (the value would be very large, that's millions of trillions). + +**--memory-swap**=*LIMIT* + +A limit value equal to memory plus swap. Must be used with the **-m** +(**--memory**) flag. The swap `LIMIT` should always be larger than **-m** +(**--memory**) value. By default, the swap `LIMIT` will be set to double +the value of --memory. + +The format of `LIMIT` is `<number>[<unit>]`. Unit can be `b` (bytes), +`k` (kilobytes), `m` (megabytes), or `g` (gigabytes). If you don't specify a +unit, `b` is used. Set LIMIT to `-1` to enable unlimited swap. + +**--net**, **--network**=*string* + +Sets the configuration for network namespaces when handling `RUN` instructions. +The configured value can be "" (the empty string) or "container" to indicate +that a new network namespace should be created, or it can be "host" to indicate +that the network namespace in which `podman` itself is being run should be +reused, or it can be the path to a network namespace which is already in use by +another process. + +**--no-cache** + +Do not use existing cached images for the container build. Build from the start with a new set of cached layers. + +**--pid**=*pid* + +Sets the configuration for PID namespaces when handling `RUN` instructions. +The configured value can be "" (the empty string) or "container" to indicate +that a new PID namespace should be created, or it can be "host" to indicate +that the PID namespace in which `podman` itself is being run should be reused, +or it can be the path to a PID namespace which is already in use by another +process. + +**--platform**="Linux" + +This option has no effect on the build. Other container engines use this option +to control the execution platform for the build (e.g., Windows, Linux) which is +not required for Buildah as it supports only Linux. + +**--pull** + +When the flag is enabled, attempt to pull the latest image from the registries +listed in registries.conf if a local image does not exist or the image is newer +than the one in storage. Raise an error if the image is not in any listed +registry and is not present locally. + +If the flag is disabled (with *--pull=false*), do not pull the image from the +registry, use only the local version. Raise an error if the image is not +present locally. + +Defaults to *true*. + +**--pull-always** + +Pull the image from the first registry it is found in as listed in registries.conf. +Raise an error if not found in the registries, even if the image is present locally. + +**--quiet**, **-q** + +Suppress output messages which indicate which instruction is being processed, +and of progress when pulling images from a registry, and when writing the +output image. + +**--rm**=*true|false* + +Remove intermediate containers after a successful build (default true). + +**--runtime**=*path* + +The *path* to an alternate OCI-compatible runtime, which will be used to run +commands specified by the **RUN** instruction. + +Note: You can also override the default runtime by setting the BUILDAH\_RUNTIME +environment variable. `export BUILDAH_RUNTIME=/usr/local/bin/runc` + +**--runtime-flag**=*flag* + +Adds global flags for the container runtime. To list the supported flags, please +consult the manpages of the selected container runtime (`runc` is the default +runtime, the manpage to consult is `runc(8)`. When the machine is configured +for cgroup V2, the default runtime is `crun`, the manpage to consult is `crun(8)`.). + +Note: Do not pass the leading `--` to the flag. To pass the runc flag `--log-format json` +to podman build, the option given would be `--runtime-flag log-format=json`. + +**--security-opt**=*option* + +Security Options + +- `apparmor=unconfined` : Turn off apparmor confinement for the container +- `apparmor=your-profile` : Set the apparmor confinement profile for the container + +- `label=user:USER` : Set the label user for the container processes +- `label=role:ROLE` : Set the label role for the container processes +- `label=type:TYPE` : Set the label process type for the container processes +- `label=level:LEVEL` : Set the label level for the container processes +- `label=filetype:TYPE` : Set the label file type for the container files +- `label=disable` : Turn off label separation for the container + +- `seccomp=unconfined` : Turn off seccomp confinement for the container +- `seccomp=profile.json` : White listed syscalls seccomp Json file to be used as a seccomp filter + +**--shm-size**=*size* + +Size of `/dev/shm`. The format is `<number><unit>`. `number` must be greater than `0`. +Unit is optional and can be `b` (bytes), `k` (kilobytes), `m`(megabytes), or `g` (gigabytes). +If you omit the unit, the system uses bytes. If you omit the size entirely, the system uses `64m`. + +**--squash** + +Squash all of the image's new layers into a single new layer; any preexisting layers +are not squashed. + +**--squash-all** + +Squash all of the new image's layers (including those inherited from a base image) into a single new layer. + +**--tag**, **-t**=*imageName* + +Specifies the name which will be assigned to the resulting image if the build +process completes successfully. +If _imageName_ does not include a registry name, the registry name *localhost* will be prepended to the image name. + +**--target**=*stageName* + +Set the target build stage to build. When building a Containerfile with multiple build stages, --target +can be used to specify an intermediate build stage by name as the final stage for the resulting image. +Commands after the target stage will be skipped. + +**--tls-verify**=*true|false* + +Require HTTPS and verify certificates when talking to container registries (defaults to true). (Not available for remote commands) + +**--ulimit**=*type*=*soft-limit*[:*hard-limit*] + +Specifies resource limits to apply to processes launched when processing `RUN` instructions. +This option can be specified multiple times.

If you specify, ` -v /HOST-DIR:/CONTAINER-DIR`, Podman + bind mounts `/HOST-DIR` in the host to `/CONTAINER-DIR` in the Podman + container. The `OPTIONS` are a comma delimited list and can be: + + * [rw|ro] + * [z|Z|O] + * [`[r]shared`|`[r]slave`|`[r]private`] + +The `CONTAINER-DIR` must be an absolute path such as `/src/docs`. The `HOST-DIR` +must be an absolute path as well. Podman bind-mounts the `HOST-DIR` to the +path you specify. For example, if you supply `/foo` as the host path, +Podman copies the contents of `/foo` to the container filesystem on the host +and bind mounts that into the container. + +You can specify multiple **-v** options to mount one or more mounts to a +container. + +You can add the `:ro` or `:rw` suffix to a volume to mount it read-only or +read-write mode, respectively. By default, the volumes are mounted read-write. +See examples. + + `Labeling Volume Mounts` + +Labeling systems like SELinux require that proper labels are placed on volume +content mounted into a container. Without a label, the security system might +prevent the processes running inside the container from using the content. By +default, Podman does not change the labels set by the OS. + +To change a label in the container context, you can add either of two suffixes +`:z` or `:Z` to the volume mount. These suffixes tell Podman to relabel file +objects on the shared volumes. The `z` option tells Podman that two containers +share the volume content. As a result, Podman labels the content with a shared +content label. Shared volume labels allow all containers to read/write content. +The `Z` option tells Podman to label the content with a private unshared label. +Only the current container can use a private volume. + + `Overlay Volume Mounts` + + The `:O` flag tells Podman to mount the directory from the host as a temporary storage using the Overlay file system. The `RUN` command containers are allowed to modify contents within the mountpoint and are stored in the container storage in a separate directory. In Overlay FS terms the source directory will be the lower, and the container storage directory will be the upper. Modifications to the mount point are destroyed when the `RUN` command finishes executing, similar to a tmpfs mount point. + + Any subsequent execution of `RUN` commands sees the original source directory content, any changes from previous RUN commands no longer exists. + + One use case of the `overlay` mount is sharing the package cache from the host into the container to allow speeding up builds. + + Note: + + - Overlay mounts are not currently supported in rootless mode. + - The `O` flag is not allowed to be specified with the `Z` or `z` flags. Content mounted into the container is labeled with the private label. + On SELinux systems, labels in the source directory needs to be readable by the container label. If not, SELinux container separation must be disabled for the container to work. + - Modification of the directory volume mounted into the container with an overlay mount can cause unexpected failures. It is recommended that you do not modify the directory until the container finishes running. + +By default bind mounted volumes are `private`. That means any mounts done +inside container will not be visible on the host and vice versa. This behavior can +be changed by specifying a volume mount propagation property. + +When the mount propagation policy is set to `shared`, any mounts completed inside +the container on that volume will be visible to both the host and container. When +the mount propagation policy is set to `slave`, one way mount propagation is enabled +and any mounts completed on the host for that volume will be visible only inside of the container. +To control the mount propagation property of volume use the `:[r]shared`, +`:[r]slave` or `:[r]private` propagation flag. The propagation property can +be specified only for bind mounted volumes and not for internal volumes or +named volumes. For mount propagation to work on the source mount point (mount point +where source dir is mounted on) has to have the right propagation properties. For +shared volumes, the source mount point has to be shared. And for slave volumes, +the source mount has to be either shared or slave. + +Use `df <source-dir>` to determine the source mount and then use +`findmnt -o TARGET,PROPAGATION <source-mount-dir>` to determine propagation +properties of source mount, if `findmnt` utility is not available, the source mount point +can be determined by looking at the mount entry in `/proc/self/mountinfo`. Look +at `optional fields` and see if any propagation properties are specified. +`shared:X` means the mount is `shared`, `master:X` means the mount is `slave` and if +nothing is there that means the mount is `private`. + +To change propagation properties of a mount point use the `mount` command. For +example, to bind mount the source directory `/foo` do +`mount --bind /foo /foo` and `mount --make-private --make-shared /foo`. This +will convert /foo into a `shared` mount point. The propagation properties of the source +mount can be changed directly. For instance if `/` is the source mount for +`/foo`, then use `mount --make-shared /` to convert `/` into a `shared` mount. + +## EXAMPLES + +### Build an image using local Containerfiles + +``` +$ podman build . + +$ podman build -f Containerfile.simple . + +$ cat ~/Dockerfile | podman build -f - . + +$ podman build -f Dockerfile.simple -f Containerfile.notsosimple . + +$ podman build -f Dockerfile.in ~ + +$ podman build -t imageName . + +$ podman build --tls-verify=true -t imageName -f Dockerfile.simple . + +$ podman build --tls-verify=false -t imageName . + +$ podman build --runtime-flag log-format=json . + +$ podman build --runtime-flag debug . + +$ podman build --authfile /tmp/auths/myauths.json --cert-dir ~/auth --tls-verify=true --creds=username:password -t imageName -f Dockerfile.simple . + +$ podman build --memory 40m --cpu-period 10000 --cpu-quota 50000 --ulimit nofile=1024:1028 -t imageName . + +$ podman build --security-opt label=level:s0:c100,c200 --cgroup-parent /path/to/cgroup/parent -t imageName . + +$ podman build --volume /home/test:/myvol:ro,Z -t imageName . + +$ podman build -v /var/lib/yum:/var/lib/yum:O -t imageName . + +$ podman build --layers -t imageName . + +$ podman build --no-cache -t imageName . + +$ podman build --layers --force-rm -t imageName . + +$ podman build --no-cache --rm=false -t imageName . +``` + +### Building an image using a URL, Git repo, or archive + + The build context directory can be specified as a URL to a Containerfile, a Git repository, or URL to an archive.

Lastly, if the URL is an archive, it is downloaded to a temporary location and extracted before being used as the context. + +#### Building an image using a URL to a Containerfile + + Podman will download the Containerfile to a temporary location and then use it as the build context. + +``` +$ podman build https://10.10.10.1/podman/Containerfile +``` + +#### Building an image using a Git repository + + Podman will clone the specified GitHub repository to a temporary location and use it as the context. The Containerfile at the root of the repository will be used and it only works if the GitHub repository is a dedicated repository. + +``` +$ podman build git://github.com/scollier/purpletest +``` + +#### Building an image using a URL to an archive + + Podman will fetch the archive file, decompress it, and use its contents as the build context. The Containerfile at the root of the archive and the rest of the archive will get used as the context of the build. If you pass `-f PATH/Containerfile` option as well, the system will look for that file inside the contents of the archive. + +``` +$ podman build -f dev/Containerfile https://10.10.10.1/podman/context.tar.gz +``` + + Note: supported compression formats are 'xz', 'bzip2', 'gzip' and 'identity' (no compression). + +## Files + +**registries.conf** (`/etc/containers/registries.conf`) + +registries.conf is the configuration file which specifies which container registries should be consulted when completing image names which do not include a registry or domain portion. + +## Troubleshooting + +If you are using a useradd command within a Containerfile with a large UID/GID, it will create a large sparse file `/var/log/lastlog`. This can cause the build to hang forever. Go language does not support sparse files correctly, which can lead to some huge files being created in your container image. + +### Solution + +If you are using `useradd` within your build script, you should pass the `--no-log-init or -l` option to the `useradd` command. This option tells useradd to stop creating the lastlog file. + +## SEE ALSO +podman(1), buildah(1), containers-registries.conf(5), crun(8), runc(8), useradd(8) + +## HISTORY +May 2018, Minor revisions added by Joe Doss <joe@solidadmin.com> + +December 2017, Originally compiled by Tom Sweeney <tsweeney@redhat.com> |
