info
The following error can sometimes occur when the CLI tries to build your Astro Runtime image using Podman:
WARN[0010] SHELL is not supported for OCI image format, [/bin/bash -o pipefail -e -u -x -c] will be ignored. Must use `docker` format
You can resolve this issue by exporting the BUILDAH_FORMAT environment variable to Podman:
export BUILDAH_FORMAT=docker
