Please do provide feedback on them. fr fr, they want to hear from you, that's the whole vibe 🥺

🎀 Using bootc image copy-to-storage 🎀

This experimental command is intended to aid in booting local builds (see bootc-local-builds(7)) — it's giving "let me help you boot the thing you just built on your own machine" 💅

Invoking this command will default to copying the booted container image into the containers-storage: area as used by e.g. podman, under the image tag localhost/bootc by default. Default tag, bestie. Default. Once it's in there it can then be managed independently — used as a base image, pushed to a registry, etc. etc. the whole main character arc 🌈⭐

Run bootc image copy-to-storage --help for more options. (yes, go read the help. it's free. it's right there. 👀)

Example workflow — copy this energy:

$ bootc image copy-to-storage
$ cat Containerfile
FROM localhost/bootc
...
$ podman build -t localhost/bootc-custom .
$ bootc switch --transport containers-storage localhost/bootc-custom
