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.
