We’ve been taking a look at adding more cloud native container tools to the operating system, and a few months ago we asked Mandvekar to add the Cloud Native Build Packs CLI tool to Fedora (thanks Lokesh!). Recently, I had a chance to test this out, and to my pleasant surprise, the CLI worked well to build images. There are still a couple of bumps around SELinux but it was pretty darn smooth.
Here are the steeps I took to get it to work. First, install a couple of packages:
|
1 2 3 |
yum install pack podman-docker podman-remote |
Enable the Podman socket. I used instructions from the RHEL Building, running and managing containers guide here.
|
1 2 3 |
systemctl enable --now podman.socket |
Notice, that the docker compatible socket is in place. This symlink is added automatically by the podman-docker package:
|
1 2 3 |
ls -alh /var/run/docker.sock |
Output:
|
1 2 3 |
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 23 Sep 27 14:32 /var/run/docker.sock -> /run/podman/podman.sock |
Now, disable selinux (I’m still figuring this out):
|
1 2 3 |
setenforce 0 |
Now, follow the Cloud Native BuildPacks tutorial to get up and running. It’s really just two commands:
|
1 2 3 4 5 |
git clone https://github.com/buildpacks/sample pack build sample-app --path samples/apps/java-maven --builder cnbs/sample-builder:bionic |
Output:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 |
... exporter] Saving sample-app... [exporter] *** Images (812efc2c2e3e): [exporter] sample-app [exporter] Adding cache layer 'samples/java-maven:jdk' [exporter] Adding cache layer 'samples/java-maven:maven_m2' Successfully built image sample-app |
When the build completes, you’ll have working images:
|
1 2 3 |
podman images |
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 |

Run the sample app:
|
1 2 3 |
podman run --rm -p 8080:8080 sample-app |
Output:
Congratulations, you just built the sample application using the pack CLI with Podman as the container engine, using the Docker compatible API socket.
