Can I Build a Kaniko Image Using Another Kaniko Image?
Asked by

Hey everyone! I've been exploring the possibility of building a Kaniko image from another Kaniko image since I heard that Kaniko is now archived. I've tried multiple scripts, but I keep running into file conflicts and errors like 'files not found'. Has anyone had success with this? I'm looking for a reliable script that works in this scenario.

Another option is to use Buildah for this. You can build Kaniko, or even use Buildah to create another Buildah, which can then build an updated Kaniko. It's a bit of a roundabout way, but Buildah is solid.

By the way, Kaniko isn’t dead! It’s been revived by Chainguard, so it’s definitely still an option to use their support. However, if you’re looking for something else, there's also a GitHub repo by mzihlmann that looks promising.

You can definitely build Kaniko using itself! Just make sure to run Kaniko inside a container where the executor points at the Kaniko repo, and mount the /kaniko directory correctly to avoid conflicts. That should set you on the right path.
