An age old problem, especially in large enterprises, are piqued sysadmins who rightfully do not trust developers and won't give them root. Another age old problem of containers is: how do we build root filesystems to run? A smooth experience for building rootfses is one of the things that Docker made a great experience, but it uses a privileged daemon. And yet, the developers have to build product binaries on systems that are provided by said sysadmins.

Enter stacker, a tool which can build OCI images without privilege, using user namespaces via LXC, without any extra trickery. In this talk Tycho will give a brief introduction to stacker's declarative yaml format for building container images. He will also give a basic overview of the guts of stacker and how it accomplishes its goals.
