[REQ] windows container support #565

Open sozercan opened 6 months ago

sozercan commented 6 months ago

What kind of request is this?

New feature

What is your request or suggestion?

Copa can not patch windows containers today because windows containers don't have a package manager to be able to update system dependencies.

There are no plans for adding this functionality to copa unless someone can write a design doc on how would this work. Suggestions are welcome!

Since Windows publishes an entire container base image with security updates every patch tuesday, crane's rebase tool might be a way to update the base but this is not tested https://github.com/google/go-containerregistry/blob/main/cmd/crane/rebase.md

Are you willing to submit PRs to contribute to this feature request?

[ ] Yes, I am willing to implement it.

Just to add:

winget does not handle system deps
a full windows update would be needed
