RHEL-based set of container images

Idea

RHEL/Alma/CentOS Stream-based containers leveraging systemd and its potential including sysusers.d, tmpfiles.d, eliminating shell scripts inside containers as much as possible. Strongly opinionated.

Build process

Build requires RHEL 9 (with valid Red Hat subscription), Alma Linux 9 or CentOS Stream 9 as a host, Ansible and buildah.

Images

Foundation

Those images are intended to replace UBI in their function, but they drop entirely package management from the list of installed packages, so no dnf or rpm. Instead, all the other containers are built using buildah and host dnf with --installroot.

  • micro - equivalent of ubi9/ubi-micro
  • base - equivalent of ubi9/ubi
  • systemd - equivalent of ubi9/ubi-init
