NAME

oci-image-tool create - Create an OCI runtime bundle

SYNOPSIS

oci-image-tool create [src] [dest] [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

oci-image-tool create validates an application/vnd.oci.image.manifest.v1+json and unpacks its layered filesystem to dest/rootfs, although the target directory is configurable with --rootfs. See oci-image-tool unpack(1) for more details on this process.

Also translates the referenced config from application/vnd.oci.image.config.v1+json to a runtime-spec-compatible dest/config.json.

OPTIONS

--help Print usage statement

--ref=[] Specify the search criteria for the validated reference, format is A=B. Reference should point to a manifest or index. e.g. --ref name=v1.0 --ref platform.os=latest Only support name, platform.os and digest three cases.

--rootfs="" A directory representing the root filesystem of the container in the OCI runtime bundle. It is strongly recommended to keep the default value. (default "rootfs")

--type="" Type of the file to unpack. If unset, oci-image-tool will try to auto-detect the type. One of "imageLayout,image,imageZip"

--platform="" Specify the os and architecture of the manifest, format is OS:Architecture. e.g. --platform linux:amd64 Only applicable if reftype is index.

EXAMPLES

$ skopeo copy docker://busybox oci:busybox-oci:latest
$ mkdir busybox-bundle
$ oci-image-tool create --ref name=latest busybox-oci busybox-bundle
$ cd busybox-bundle && sudo runc run busybox
