Looks like buildah is no longer in this repository. podman is still there, though. Anyone know where we can still find buildah for 20.04?
buildah is included in the default package repositories for >= Ubuntu 20.10.
For Ubuntu 20.04, it looks like, we need to build buildah from source right now, since there is no pre-build binary. Building instructions are here.
@dogukancagatay were you able to get the build from source to work? I tried building from source as described, but I think there are some broken dependencies. You need golang-1.17 or higher to install the container-networking plugins, but to compile buildah, it calls out golang-1.13. After installing the plugins, I installed golang-1.13 and verified it's being used, but this command:
PATH=/usr/lib/go-1.13/bin:$PATH make runc all SECURITYTAGS="apparmor seccomp"
fails with the following error:
HEAD is now at 425e105d VERSION: release 1.0.0-rc8

@chad-green I wasn't able to build with the instructions from the install.md provided in buildah repository as well (sorry for directing you to wrong instructions), but I managed to build buildah from source on Ubuntu 20.04 using the following commands.
I used golang 1.16 because It was complaining with 1.13.

@dogukancagatay Your instructions worked for me but only after a few adjustments. For instance, I was missing runc and uidmap (which wasn't necessary for installation but e.g. for buildah login, cf. this comment in the skopeo repo). I also installed them via apt. Maybe you could add them to the list of dependencies. Also your approach with goenv didn't work for me at first, so I simply installed go following the instructions here. I encountered an error in the make command which I fixed loosely following this article.
Except for the runc dependency I wouldn't suggest changing your instructions though, but maybe if someone encounters the same problems as me in the future these resources will help.
For anyone still stuck with this, this works.
This works for me with Ubuntu 20.04 in Azure. I am using this to update the Azure DevOps agents because I am using buildah in the pipelines.
However, every now and then I get:
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend. It is held by process NNNN (apt-get)
On the install command, as it seems the update command leaves something in background and returns control before finishing... That is not very nice for unattended scripts.
Sorry, does not work...
I managed to get it working with the following. It seems the prerequisites are not clearly specified.
