Hi!

It seems we can't copy the binary over from the kaniko image into our own image. https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/kaniko#known-issues

Was wondering why this is the case and if we could instead build a dockerfile that's `FROM` the kaniko image.

Thanks!

Just run the kaniko image as is, with the documented args. Don't try to use it in another dockerfile.

My use case necessitates that I use a dockerfile with other dependencies unfortunately. If I can't copy over the binary can I atleast use the kaniko image as my base `FROM` image?

kaniko is a tool that reads your Dockerfile and builds your image, and can optionally push it to a repo.

kaniko should not be part of your Dockerfile.

I am aware but I have a use case where I want to build an image that has the kaniko binary. If I can't copy over the binary can I atleast use the kaniko image as my base `FROM` image?

Hello,

I'm also wondering about this.

Our use case - we build images with Kaniko in Gitlab pipeline and push it to our ECR. However, we want ECR URI not to be hardcoded but obtained from aws (specifically, since we manage infra through CloudFormation - we have ECR URI as output of template and usually we get it with "aws cloudformation describe-stacks").

So, basically, we have Gitlab job (as described here: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/docker/using_kaniko.html), so build is executed inside Kaniko container and we don't have aws cli here and all my attempts to build image with aws cli and kaniko failed.
