[QUESTION] failing with buildah 1.20.0 (ubuntu-latest) about buildah-build

[divyansh42]

Possible workaround as per buildah troubleshooting that we have did to solve this problem temporarily.

- run: |
    sudo apt-get install fuse-overlayfs
    mkdir -vp ~/.config/containers
    printf "[storage.options]\nmount_program=\"/usr/bin/fuse-overlayfs\"" > ~/.config/containers/storage.conf

For anyone else coming into this issue, you can also work around this by using runs-on: ubuntu-18.04 for the job that runs buildah. So you'll get an older, working version of buildah while we look for a permanent solution.

Or you can use the workaround above

edit: does not sound like GitHub will fix this on their end, either. actions/runner-images#3080

edit2: fixed in buildah-build@v2

[tetchel]

this is fixed in v2 / v2.4 now.

[tetchel]

if anyone is coming here because they see the warning printed on an ubuntu-18.04 system, don't worry, the action will still work.

however it is recommended to install fuse-overlayfs for better fs performance. upgrading to 20.04 will also remove the warning

Hmm, this still says that ubuntu-latest contains "Buildah 1.19.8".

[divyansh42]

Yeah, they should update that.

[tetchel]

same thing here? #47

Good thing we have the version output
