Wouldn’t it be better to use the ones already prepared? From here: [Cloud Images | Rocky Linux](https://rockylinux.org/cloud-images) Or is there a particular reason you are trying to do this, than use the already prepared official images? ---

This is something I have done last period. Some hints are: - use a Fedora Workstation 37 VM; - install there `imagefactory`; - checkout the branch `devel` from the [GitHub - rocky-linux/sig-core-toolkit: Various scripts and tools for SIG/Core](https://github.com/rocky-linux/sig-core-toolkit) repository; - build the empanadas container and run that from your host instead of executing build-image directly [View paste V4SDRSBYQ7RKPG7SC3KU2N5TPY](https://rpa.st/V4SDRSBYQ7RKPG7SC3KU2N5TPY) I also recommend you join the mattermost Development channel, there I discussed with @neil more on this topic. ---

I put together the scripts on a repository: [GitHub - valentin-nasta/create-custom-rocky-linux-ami](https://github.com/valentin-nasta/create-custom-rocky-linux-ami) Please let me know if you encounter any issue. (I had to create a new post because I was limited to 2 links per post.) ---

Hi Sagar, on this example should be used `podman` and not `docker`. ```auto sudo podman images REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE localhost/empanadas latest 011e3cc8b82f 2 days ago 3.09 GB docker.io/library/fedora 36 45237698d272 2 weeks ago 171 MB ``` ---

Here is an example of `podman run` if you want to access run the container: ```bash [vdev@vmvalentin-fedbox ~]$ sudo podman images | grep empanadas localhost/empanadas latest 011e3cc8b82f 3 days ago 3.09 GB [vdev@vmvalentin-fedbox ~]$ sudo podman run -it --rm 011e3cc8b82f bash [root@704b3b9ecf2e /]# ``` a complete example you’ll find on my repository: [create-custom-rocky-linux-ami/run\_empanadas.sh at main · valentin-nasta/create-custom-rocky-linux-ami · GitHub](https://github.com/valentin-nasta/create-custom-rocky-linux-ami/blob/main/run_empanadas.sh) ---
