The Podman Maven Plugin is a Maven plugin to build, tag and push OCI compliant images configured using a Dockerfile/Containerfile using Podman.
This plugin was created based on the need to build container images with Podman, whilst not having an appropriate plugin to do so. Initially
using the docker-maven-plugin from fabric8io it quickly became clear that simply swapping
Docker for Podman (alias docker=podman) did not work as the plugin requires a Docker outlet to communicate with. With other plugins currently
not yet available, the idea was born.
This plugin uses a ProcessExecutor from ZeroTurnaround to do its magic under water. Although this plugins' structure is similar to that from the
docker-maven-plugin, its implementation is not. In an effort to keep things simple, I have chosen to use a ProcessExecutor to run podman rather
than implementing the logic myself.
Also, only a subset of the podmans capabilities have been implemented (build, push and save).
This plugin is mainly inspired by the docker-maven-plugin and shows some similarities in configuration.
- Maven 3.6.2 or later
- Java 9 or later
- Podman to be installed on the OS where this plugin will run
- Registry configuration to be present in Maven settings.
- Dockerfile to be present in the module
NOTE: This Plugin only works when a Dockerfile is in your module's folder. You cannot create a complete Dockerfile via configuration in the pom.xml.
