umoci insert - insert content into an OCI image
umoci insert --image=image[:tag] [--tag=new-tag] [--opaque] [--rootless] [--uid-map=value] [--uid-map=value] [--no-history] [--history.comment=comment] [--history.created_by=created_by] [--history.author=author] [--history-created=date] source target
umoci insert [options] --whiteout target
In the first form, insert the contents of source into the OCI image given by --image -- overwriting it unless you specify --tag. This is done by creating a new layer containing just the contents of source with a name of target. source can be either a file or directory, and in the latter case it will be recursed. If --opaque is specified then any paths below target in the previous image layers (assuming target is a directory) will be removed.
In the second form, inserts a "deletion entry" into the OCI image for target inside the image. This is done by inserting a layer containing just a whiteout entry for the given path.
Note that this command works by creating a new layer, so this should not be used to remove (or replace) secrets from an already-built image. See umoci-config(1) and --config.volume for how to achieve this correctly by not creating image layers with secrets in the first place.
If --no-history was not specified, a history entry is appended to the tagged OCI image for this change (with the various --history. flags controlling the values used). To view the history, see umoci-stat(1).
The global options are defined in umoci(1).
--image=image[:tag]
The source and destination tag for the insertion of file at
path inside
the container image. image must be a path to a valid OCI image and
tag
must be a valid tag in the image. If tag is not provided it defaults
to
"latest".
--tag=new-tag
Tag name for the modified image, if unspecified then the original tag
provided to --image will be clobbered.
--opaque
(Assuming target is a directory.) Add an opaque whiteout entry for
target
so that any child path of target in previous layers is masked by the
new
entry for target, which will just contain the contents of
source. This
allows for the complete replacement of a directory, as opposed to the merging
of directory entries.
--whiteout
Add a deletion entry for target, so that it is not present in future
extractions of the image.
--rootless
Enable rootless insertion support. This allows for umoci-insert(1) to
be
used as an unprivileged user. Use of this flag implies
--uid-map=0:$(id
-u):1 and --gid-map=0:$(id -g):1, as well as enabling several
features
to fake parts of the recursion process in an attempt to generate an
as-close-as-possible clone of the filesystem for insertion.
--uid-map=value
Specifies a UID mapping to use when inserting files. This is used in a
similar fashion to user_namespaces(7), and is of the form
container:host[:size].
--gid-map=value
Specifies a GID mapping to use when inserting files. This is used in a
similar fashion to user_namespaces(7), and is of the form
container:host[:size].
--no-history
Causes no history entry to be added for this operation. This is not
recommended for use with umoci-insert(1), since it results in the history
not
including all of the image layers -- and thus will cause confusion with
tools
that look at image history.
--history.comment=comment
Comment for the history entry corresponding to this modification of the image
If unspecified, umoci(1) will generate an implementation-dependent
value.
--history.created_by=created_by
CreatedBy entry for the history entry corresponding to this modification of
the image. If unspecified, umoci(1) will generate an
implementation-dependent value.
--history.author=author
Author value for the history entry corresponding to this modification of the
image. If unspecified, this value will be the image's author value
after
any modifications were made by this call of umoci-config(1).
--history-created=date
Creation date for the history entry corresponding to this modifications of
the image. This must be an ISO8601 formatted timestamp (see date(1)).
If
unspecified, the current time is used.
The following inserts a file mybinary into the path /usr/bin/mybinary and a directory myconfigdir into the path /etc/myconfigdir. It should be noted that if /etc/myconfigdir already exists in the image, the contents of the two directories are merged (with the newer layer taking precedence).
% umoci insert --image oci:foo mybinary /usr/bin/mybinary % umoci insert --image oci:foo myconfigdir /etc/myconfigdir
And in these examples we delete /usr/bin/mybinary and replace the entirety of /etc with myetcdir (such that none of the old /etc entries will be present on umoci-unpack(1)).
% umoci insert --image oci:foo --whiteout /usr/bin/mybinary % umoci insert --image oci:foo --opaque myetcdir /etc
