Vib (Vanilla Image Builder) is a tool that streamlines the creation of container images. It achieves this by enabling users to define a recipe consisting of a sequence of modules, each specifying a particular action required to build the image. These actions may include installing dependencies or compiling source code.
To build an image using a recipe, you can use the vib
command:
vib build recipe.yml
this will parse the recipe.yml to a Containerfile, which can be used to build
the image with any container image builder, such as docker
or podman
.
