Getting Started

You can interact with this repository in multiple ways:

• Build container images directly from the Containerfile.
• Use the bakery CLI to manage and build container images.
• Extend the functionality by using the Minimal base image (see examples).

Build

You can build OCI container images from the defitions in this repository using one of the following container build tools:

• buildah
• docker buildx

The root of the bakery project is used as the build context for each Containerfile. Here, the bakery.yaml file, or project, is in the root of this repository.

PPM_VERSION="2025.04"

# Build the standard Package Manager image using docker
docker buildx build \
    --tag package-manager:${PPM_VERSION} \
    --file package-manager/${PPM_VERSION}/Containerfile.ubuntu2404.std \
    .

# Build the minimal Package Manager image using buildah
buildah build \
    --tag package-manager:${PPM_VERSION} \
    --file package-manager/${PPM_VERSION}/Containerfile.ubuntu2404.min \
    .

# Build the minimal Package Manager image using podman
podman build \
    --tag package-manager:${PPM_VERSION} \
    --file package-manager/${PPM_VERSION}/Containerfile.ubuntu2404.min \
    .

Build with bakery

By default, bakery creates a ephemeral JSON bakefile to render all containers in parallel.

bakery build

You can view the bake plan using bakery build --plan.

You can use CLI flags to build only a subset of images in the project.

Test images

After building the container images, run the test suite for all images:

bakery run dgoss

You can use CLI flags to limit the tests to run against a subset of images.
