feat: Add ability to squash builds #41

Closed gmpinder closed 7 months ago

gmpinder commented 7 months ago

Trying to support an older version of buildah and podman proved too difficult. Instead we'll just run the build inside a container. From my own testing with the squash builds, when you run buildah/podman inside a container, the builds can be incredibly slow with all the multi-stages and mounts on the RUN instructions. However, activating squash (--layers=false) the build runs just as fast as normal. Activating the squash feature will by default not make use of any cache abilities.

Can some code get reused from building cached image, instead of having to update CLI version twice & having 2 same codes for determining recipe?

Good idea. I'll work on that
