Buildah is a tool for creating OCI-compliant container images without requiring a background daemon process. It functions as a daemonless image constructor and distribution tool, allowing users to build, push, and pull images between local storage and remote registries. The project distinguishes itself by supporting unprivileged image building through the use of user namespaces and rootless mode. It enables direct modification of container root filesystems by mounting them to the host, allowing images to be treated as directories that can be manipulated via standard shell commands or scripts.
Provides the ability to construct container images via general purpose scripts rather than static Dockerfiles.
