[Feature Request] Create container image which have podman-remote binary for all platform and arch

[praveenkumar]

Is this a BUG REPORT or FEATURE REQUEST? (leave only one on its own line)

/kind feature

Description As of now we release the podman-remote binary https://github.com/containers/podman/releases/tag/v4.1.1 it would be good if we have those binaries (not the msi) as part of single container image (something like podman-remote distribution image) which can be triggered during any PR on specific branch/tag or even master and always updated. This will help podman-remote consumer to not depend on the release bits if some bug introduced to it like https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/14201 one and fixed on main branch so able to consume the nightly container image.

This should be something similar what OpenShift client binary (oc) have as a single container image consist of all platform binaries.

If we had quay.io/podman/stable available for multi-arch, wouldn't this achieve the same thing, since you can execute

podman -remote from within these containers?

[praveenkumar]

@rhatdan yes having it as multi-arch helps. Executing podman-remote within containers need a container runtime but if a user just want platfrom (win/mac/linux) specific remote binary then they can download this image as tarball and extract or use skopeo to copy it local dir and get respective platform specific remote binary.
