This is a copy of the ubuntu-base project.
Currently ubuntu-base is used as a base for the docker/OCI container
images. The rootfs tarball that is created with ubuntu-base is
published under [0]. That tarball is used in the FROM statement of the
Dockerfile as base and then a couple of modifications are done inside
of the Dockerfile[1].
The ubuntu-oci project will include the changes that are currently
done in the Dockerfile. With that:
1) a Dockerfile using that tarball will be just a 2 line thing:
FROM scratch
ADD ubuntu-hirsute-core-cloudimg-amd64-root.tar.gz /
CMD ["/bin/bash"]
2) Ubuntu has the full control about the build process of the
docker/OCI container. No external sources (like [1]) need to be
modified anymore.
3) Ubuntu can publish containers without depending on the official
dockerhub containers[2]. Currently the containers for the AWS ECR
registry[3] use as a base[4] the official dockerhub containers. That's
no longer needed because a container just needs a Dockerfile described
in 1)
When the ubuntu-oci project has the modifications from [1] included,
we'll also update [1] to use the ubuntu-oci rootfs tarball as a base
and drop the modifications done at [1].
Note: Creating a new ubuntu-oci project instead of using ubuntu-base
will make sure that we don't break users who are currently using
ubuntu-base rootfs tarballs for doing their own thing.
