SLE 15 SP5 LTSS Base Container Image

Support LevelAccess Protected Long Term Service Pack Support SLSA Provenance: Available

Description

SUSE Linux Enterprise Base Container Images (SLE BCI) provide open, flexible, and secure container images. The images include container environments based on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and are available at no cost, they can be freely re-distributed, and they are supported across different environments.

The Base Container Image is an image used as a foundation for most SLE BCIs. The image is intended to be extended for further use, such as a development or a testing environment.

Usage

The container image comes with the zypper package manager and the container-suseconnect utility. This allows you to access the full SLE repositories with a valid SLE subscription. The image is designed to be extended by installing packages required for your specific scenario.

To build a custom image using a Containerfile that includes the skopeo utility, create the following Containerfile:

FROM registry.suse.com/suse/ltss/sle15.5/bci-base:latest
RUN set -euo pipefail; \
    zypper -n ref; \
    zypper -n in skopeo; \
    zypper -n clean; \
    rm -rf /var/log/{lastlog,tallylog,zypper.log,zypp/history,YaST2}

Then build the container using buildah:

buildah bud -t bci-skopeo .

The image can also be used interactively to create a container with skopeo installed in it:

$ podman run -ti --rm registry.suse.com/suse/ltss/sle15.5/bci-base:latest
# zypper -n in skopeo
...
# skopeo inspect -f "{{ .Name }}" docker://registry.suse.com/suse/ltss/sle15.5/bci-base:latest
registry.suse.com/suse/ltss/sle15.5/bci-base

Getting access to the SLE repositories

The container-suseconnect utility in the image can automatically add the full SUSE Linux Enterprise repositories into the running container if you have a valid SLE subscription.

Find more information about container-suseconnect in the container-suseconnect section in the container guide or in the tutorial How to use container-suseconnect.
