Quarkus - Container Images
Container Image extensions
Jib
The extension quarkus-container-image-jib is powered by Jib for performing container image builds.
The major benefit of using Jib with Quarkus is that all the dependencies (everything found under target/lib) are cached in a different layer than the actual application making rebuilds really fast and small (when it comes to pushing).
Another important benefit of using this extension is that it provides the ability to create a container image without having to have any dedicated client side tooling (like Docker) or running daemon processes (like the Docker daemon)
when all that is needed is the ability to push to a container image registry.
To use this feature, add the following extension to your project:
./mvnw quarkus:add-extension -Dextensions="container-image-jib"
In situations where all that is needed to build a container image and no push to a registry is necessary (essentially by having set quarkus.container-image.build=true and left quarkus.container-image.push unset - it defaults to false), then this extension creates a container image and registers
it with the Docker daemon. This means that although Docker isn’t used to build the image, it is nevertheless necessary. Also note that using this mode, the built container image will
show up when executing docker images.

Including extra files
There are cases when additional files (other than ones produced by the Quarkus build) need to be added to a container image.
To support these cases, Quarkus copies any file under src/main/jib into the built container image (which is essentially the same
idea that the Jib Maven and Gradle plugins support).
For example, the presence of src/main/jib/foo/bar would result in /foo/bar being added into the container filesystem.
Docker
The extension quarkus-container-image-docker is using the Docker binary and the generated Dockerfiles under src/main/docker in order to perform Docker builds.
To use this feature, add the following extension to your project.
./mvnw quarkus:add-extension -Dextensions="container-image-docker"S2I
The extension quarkus-container-image-s2i is using S2I binary builds in order to perform container builds inside the OpenShift cluster.
The idea behind the binary build is that you just upload the artifact and its dependencies to the cluster and during the build they will be merged to a builder image (defaults to fabric8/s2i-java).
The benefit of this approach, is that it can be combined with OpenShift’s DeploymentConfig that makes it easy to roll out changes to the cluster.
To use this feature, add the following extension to your project.
./mvnw quarkus:add-extension -Dextensions="container-image-s2i"S2I builds require creating a BuildConfig and two ImageStream resources, one for the builder image and one for the output image.
The creation of such objects is being taken care of by the Quarkus Kubernetes extension.
Building
To build a container image for your project, quarkus.container-image.build=true needs to be set using any of the ways that Quarkus supports.
./mvnw clean package -Dquarkus.container-image.build=truePushing
To push a container image for your project, quarkus.container-image.push=true needs to be set using any of the ways that Quarkus supports.
./mvnw clean package -Dquarkus.container-image.push=true
If no registry is set (using quarkus.container-image.registry) then docker.io will be used as the default.

Customizing
The following properties can be used to customize the container image build process.
Jib Options
In addition to the generic container image options, the container-image-jib also provides the following options:
