kaniko is a tool to build container images from a Dockerfile, inside a container or Kubernetes cluster. kaniko doesn't depend on a Docker daemon and executes each command within a Dockerfile completely in userspace. This enables building container images in environments that can't easily or securely run a Docker daemon, such as a standard Kubernetes cluster.

Features

  • kaniko is meant to be run as an image
  • Documentation available
  • Examples available
  • The kaniko executor image is responsible for building an image from a Dockerfile
  • Within the executor image, we extract the filesystem of the base image
  • After each command, we append a layer of changed files to the base image (if there are any) and update image metadata
