RedHat's Container Tools #4

Open p5 opened 2 months ago

p5 commented 2 months ago

It would be awesome if runs-on images could include the RedHat-suite of tools for enabling users to build container images with Podman or Buildah and manipulate registries with Skopeo. This would bring the service closer to the 1:1 compatibility detailed on the website.

I understand there were some issues where systemd units were failing to startup or boot times were significantly increased, so if it's not suitable to include them in the images hosted here, I would be grateful if information on these issues could be documented in this thread for those wanting to DIY it.

Hi @p5, indeed podman systemd unit was misbehaving and causing increased boot time, so I have removed it. I will have a look whether the more recent version set in ubuntu24 no longer has those issues, in which case I will re-enable it (but only for ubuntu24 probably).
