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:
```
yum install pack podman-docker podman-remote
```

 

Enable the Podman socket. I used instructions from the [RHEL Building, running and managing containers guide here](https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html/building_running_and_managing_containers/assembly_using-the-container-tools-api_using-the-container-tools-cli).
```
systemctl enable --now podman.socket
```

 

Notice, that the docker compatible socket is in place. This symlink is added automatically by the podman-docker package:
```
ls -alh /var/run/docker.sock
```

Output:
```
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):
```
setenforce 0
```

 

Now, follow the Cloud Native [BuildPacks tutorial](https://buildpacks.io/docs/app-developer-guide/build-an-app/) to get up and running. It's really just two commands:
```
git clone https://github.com/buildpacks/sample

pack build sample-app --path samples/apps/java-maven --builder cnbs/sample-builder:bionic
```

Output:
```
...
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:
```
podman images
```

```
Output:

localhost/sample-app latest 812efc2c2e3e 41 years ago 304 MB
```

 

Run the sample app:
```
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.
