This container image is designed to allow running rpm-ostree on systems where it's not available as a package.

As a convenience, the container has an entrypoint that looks for an initial --storage argument, and if provided, uses it to set the podman container storage directory, executing the remaining arguments as a command. When the host's container storage is mounted in the container, this allows performing container operations (e.g. with rpm-ostree) on the host.

For example:

storage_dir="$HOME/.local/share/containers/storage"
podman run --privileged --rm -v "${storage_dir}:${storage_dir}" \
    rpm-ostree-container:latest --storage="${storage_dir}" \
    rpm-ostree compose build-chunked-oci [...]
