More options for building images.

[devang-gaur]

Description

Currently, Docker and S2I are the only options for when building images. We need to add more alternatives.

• buildah Add buildah support. #1535
• jib Add Java Image Builder Support. #1536
• Kaniko

I just wanted to add onto this thread. With RHEL 8 now out and dropping the docker tooling and instead bringing in buildah/podman, what is the direction for this plugin for support of that? I'd hate to see organizations update their CI/CD platforms and all of a sudden all their builds start failing because of this.

Hi @edeandrea we're currently dealing with Jib integration to provide Docker less builds. Will start with Buildah integration short afterwards.

Just adding a gentle ping here so the stale-bot doesn't close this ticket.

Is there any update on this?

Hi, we're gonna add new features on github.org/eclipse/jkube plugins.

https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2020/01/28/introduction-to-eclipse-jkube-java-tooling-for-kubernetes-and-red-hat-openshift/

JIB option has been added to FMP already and will be added soon to Jkube plugins.

Although no concrete decision has been made, Kaniko integration is a big possibility for jkube,
We're examining it.

I would be more interested in Podman/Buildah … as working with fabric8 based projects on Fedora 31 is currently not fun

@ctron You can import the local tar archive of container image generated by JIB using
podman load -i image.tar.

I don't think that is an option. We have an upstream project, with an existing build system. I don't think anyone wants to change that, just because I am using Fedora.

Latest release of org.eclipse.jkube plugins failing to create image on buildah , with error "no DOCKER_HOST environment variable, no read/writable '/var/run/docker.sock'".

Any support on buildah or any separate plugins ? please update!!

[manusa]

Support for this feature in Eclipse JKube is being tracked here eclipse-jkube/jkube#66

I'm not sure about the status of Podman 2.0, but it may already be compatible with our current implementations.

Anyway, please follow-up on the provided issue.
