Implement a build command

[user-name-is-taken]

This is probably possible using buildkit if you're open to adding a dependency or run buildkit inside a container in daemonless mode as described here with a command similar to this:

docker run \
    -it \
    --rm \
    --privileged \
    -v /path/to/dir:/tmp/work \
    --entrypoint buildctl-daemonless.sh \
    moby/buildkit:master \
        build \
        --frontend dockerfile.v0 \
        --local context=/tmp/work \
        --local dockerfile=/tmp/work

Will investigate this @user-name-is-taken thanks :smile:

In my opinion this is out of scope here, the main purpose of lilipod is to serve as container engine rather than an image builder. The problem with implementing this feature is that it will open the window for more new features which are out of context here, this should be clear at the start.

Anyway, I can see a problem using imagebuildah; from my experience, it requires a standard image storage, which lilipod does not offer. If I am correct, this requires lilipod to setup another storage to be used just for those builds.

I agree, building is a bit too far off of the project
