Install `buildah` as explained [here](https://github.com/containers/buildah/blob/master/install.md);\n\n2. Both the build and deploy host require the special device `/dev/fuse`; there are a few ways to obtain it:\n\n  * install `fuse2` or `fuse3` using the package manager of your choice (dnf, apt, pacman, etc): \nthe install script will usually create the device automatically; or\n  * manually create the device with the command `mknod /dev/fuse -m 0666 c 10 229` \n(see [this code](https://github.com/libfuse/libfuse/blob/f0e08cc700d629da2d46def8b620b0ed858cc0d9/util/install_helper.sh#L35))\n\n3. Clone this repository, and switch to the top-level folder containing the file \"`Containerfile.static.ubuntu`\";\n\n4. Launch the build with the command (note the single dot `.` at the end): \n```\nbuildah bud -v $PWD:/build/fuse-overlayfs -t fuse-overlayfs -f ./Containerfile.static.ubuntu .\n```\n\n5. Copy the resulting binary to your host:\n\n```\nsudo cp fuse-overlayfs /usr/bin/\n```\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcontainers%2Ffuse-overlayfs","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fcontainers%2Ffuse-overlayfs","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcontainers%2Ffuse-overlayfs/lists"}
