Out-of-source builds do not work on my system with podman. If this is expected, I think it would be great to mention that somewhere in the documentation.
Yes, as discussed with Nathan. So here's the list of potential improvements gathered so far: * automatically pick Podman first, Docker second * explicitly mention docker.io registry in examples * mention TuxMake available images more explicitly in the docs * mention that out-of-tree builds aren't supported yet * distinguish true Docker from Docker-compatible Podman * add support for out-of-tree output build directory * add option for mounting source tree from arbitrary path (needed for nested containers e.g. Docker-in-Docker) * detect when Docker has namespace support enabled and document * add user config file with default images and runtime etc. Then beyond that we could consider other container runtimes such as containerd, lxc, runc or whatever works in practice.
Nevertheless, thanks a lot! I expect me to use that a lot in the future! For the whole patch set: Tested-by: Nicolas Schier<[email protected]> Acked-by: Nicolas Schier<[email protected]>
Thank you! Let's hope others will find it useful too. Cheers, Guillaume
