Really cool, I like the documentation on the website - would be nice if the README was actual HTML though. Does that mean I can build container images within a running container (for example the GitLab-CI) without doing a stunt like docker-in-docker or fakechroot/fakeroot? What are you using instead of fakeroot? I've seen people like [zwischenzugs][0] using User Namespaces - which makes it impossible to be run within a container. Author also points out that kaniko still requires you to use root, not sure if the situation has changed with gVisor support, at least a related issue [1] hasn't been marked as resolved. Have you investigated into creating reproducible containers? Thank you in advance! [0]: https://zwischenzugs.com/2018/04/23/unprivileged-docker-buil...
