Package xkcdpass in container with podman

xkcdpass is a Python package that provides a CLI to generate password according to this strip:
XKCD 936
Let's package this in a container ! First, start by editing Dockerfile: FROM python:3.9-alpine AS BUILD RUN pip install shiv xkcdpass==1.17.4 RUN shiv -c xkcdpass -o xkcdpass xkcdpass==1.17.4 FROM python:3.9-alpine COPY --from=BUILD /xkcdpass /bin/ CMD xkcdpass We're using multi-stage build:
  1. first, we install required package with pip. The xkcdpass command and its dependencies are packaged with shiv
  2. then, we copy the created paclage in the final container
Next, let's build the container: podman build -t blog/xkcdpass . That should give the following output: STEP 1: FROM python:3.9-alpine AS BUILD STEP 2: RUN pip install shiv xkcdpass==1.17.4 Collecting xkcdpass==1.17.4 Downloading xkcdpass-1.17.4.tar.gz (2.3 MB) |████████████████████████████████| 2.3 MB 2.6 MB/s Collecting shiv Downloading shiv-0.4.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl (19 kB) Requirement already satisfied: setuptools in /usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages (from shiv) (51.0.0) Requirement already satisfied: pip>=9.0.3 in /usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages (from shiv) (20.3.3) Collecting click!=7.0,>=6.7 Downloading click-7.1.2-py2.py3-none-any.whl (82 kB) |████████████████████████████████| 82 kB 769 kB/s Building wheels for collected packages: xkcdpass Building wheel for xkcdpass (setup.py) ... done Created wheel for xkcdpass: filename=xkcdpass-1.17.4-py3-none-any.whl size=2325695 sha256=8842e679fb07eb4958067d3a10dd5b5bce223fdb4f841e900f6180bdbf4b0173 Stored in directory: /root/.cache/pip/wheels/5c/59/b1/f022dc79b4977e1da978c895469b6796a98c49ce98e792e050 Successfully built xkcdpass Installing collected packages: click, xkcdpass, shiv Successfully installed click-7.1.2 shiv-0.4.0 xkcdpass-1.17.4 --> 6470d6c91b8 STEP 3: RUN shiv -c xkcdpass -o xkcdpass xkcdpass==1.17.4 Collecting xkcdpass==1.17.4 Using cached xkcdpass-1.17.4-py3-none-any.whl Installing collected packages: xkcdpass Successfully installed xkcdpass-1.17.4 --> 76343ef238a STEP 4: FROM python:3.9-alpine STEP 5: COPY --from=BUILD /xkcdpass /bin/ --> 564d0812986 STEP 6: CMD xkcdpass STEP 7: COMMIT blog/xkcdpass --> 2afb25f65e7 2afb25f65e70fba8d0649f5037c9475ca9824c654af0e10a3adac00580ca606e Try the command with: podman run -it blog/xkcdpass Gives the following output: ERRO[0000] could not find slirp4netns, the network namespace won't be configured: exec: "slirp4netns": executable file not found in $PATH skyward wharf nutlike crescent cannabis steep
