**podman image build** [*options*] [*context*]
## DESCRIPTION
**podman build** Builds an image using instructions from one or more Containerfiles or Dockerfiles and a specified build context directory. A Containerfile uses the same syntax as a Dockerfile internally. For this document, a file referred to as a Containerfile can be a file named either 'Containerfile' or 'Dockerfile'.
**podman build** Builds an image using instructions from one or more
Containerfiles or Dockerfiles and a specified build context directory. A
Containerfile uses the same syntax as a Dockerfile internally. For this
document, a file referred to as a Containerfile can be a file named either
'Containerfile' or 'Dockerfile'.
The build context directory can be specified as the http(s) URL of an archive, git repository or Containerfile.
The build context directory can be specified as the http(s) URL of an archive,
git repository or Containerfile.
If no context directory is specified, then Podman will assume the current working directory as the build context, which should contain the Containerfile.

Containerfiles ending with a ".in" suffix will be preprocessed via CPP(1). This can be useful to decompose Containerfiles into several reusable parts that can be used via CPP's **#include** directive. Notice, a Containerfile.in file can still be used by other tools when manually preprocessing them via `cpp -E`.

`mount --bind /foo /foo` and `mount --make-private --make-shared /foo`. This

## Troubleshooting
### lastlog sparse file
If you are using a useradd command within a Containerfile with a large UID/GID, it will create a large sparse file `/var/log/lastlog`. This can cause the build to hang forever. Go language does not support sparse files correctly, which can lead to some huge files being created in your container image.

If you are using `useradd` within your build script, you should pass the `--no-log-init or -l` option to the `useradd` command. This option tells useradd to stop creating the lastlog file.

<a name="Footnote1">1</a>: The Podman project is committed to inclusivity, a core value of open source. The `master` and `slave` mount propagation terminology used here is problematic and divisive, and should be changed. However, these terms are currently used within the Linux kernel and must be used as-is at this time. When the kernel maintainers rectify this usage, Podman will follow suit immediately.
