Buildah commands

[pratapnanda]

Hi

I am new to buildah tool, and recently doing some R&D on Buildah

i want to deploy an application on container using buildah. Can I achieve below objectives using buildah and how.

• volume - How to Mount external volume such as AWS EBS/EFS/S3 to buildah container
• setting resources - e.g. CPU, Memory etc
• how to scale up and down buildah container
• How can I check buildah container logs (like docker logs)

Buildah is used to build container images not really for running them in production. You might want to look at the kpod/cri-o effort https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/cri-o.

We will be building soop kpod run and kpod exec, which is what you want I believe, if you want something higher level, I would look at OpenShift and Kubernetes.

@rhatdan : is that sort of thing recommended for folks using or one two containers on single machines? When i hear anything kubernetes related it sure sounds like overkill for many simple use cases. Is that not the case for the mentioned project?

I bet there are quite a few folks like me who just want a simple non-docker way to manage a few containers for local dev environments and just a few (or one) production servers via simple tooling like ansible.

As an addendum, it's really hard to separate the intended audiences of container tooling for folks with simple needs like myself.

kpod/buildah will eventually be the tool for you. kpod although it is currently part of CRI-O does not require kubernetes. Our goal with it is to give you the entire docker experience on a single node, minus the orchestration bits.

@rhatdan: I'll keep an eye on it. thanks!

We have now created github.com:projectatomic/libpod which containers the kpod tool.

I'm closing this as this is out of the project's scope. As @rhatdan said feel free to use either libpod or cri-o for that.
