CI: release: enable reproducible builds
The binaries are now bit-for-bit reproducible (<https://reproducible-builds.org/>):
```bash
docker buildx build \
   -o /tmp/fuse-overlayfs-builds \
   --build-arg SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH=$(git log -1 --pretty=%ct) \
   --platform=amd64,arm64,arm,s390x,ppc64le,riscv64 \
   -f Containerfile.cross .
```

This ensures that the binaries are not built from any unpublished source.

- Implementation is similar to <https://github.com/rootless-containers/slirp4netns/compare/v1.2.1...v1.2.2>
- `/etc/apt/sources.list` is modified to use <http://snapshot.ubuntu.com> using
  <https://github.com/reproducible-containers/repro-sources-list.sh>.
- As <http://snapshot.ubuntu.com> is slow, `/var/cache/apt` is cached on GHA using
  <https://github.com/reproducible-containers/buildkit-cache-dance>.
- For testing sake, `.github/workflows/release.yaml` is now executed for every push events.
  The release artifacts are published only on a push event with a `v*` tag.

fuse-overlayfs

An implementation of overlay+shiftfs in FUSE for rootless containers.

Usage:

$ fuse-overlayfs -o lowerdir=lowerdir/a:lowerdir/b,upperdir=up,workdir=workdir merged

Specify a different UID/GID mapping:

$ fuse-overlayfs -o uidmapping=0:10:100:100:10000:2000,gidmapping=0:10:100:100:10000:2000,lowerdir=lowerdir/a:lowerdir/b,upperdir=up,workdir=workdir merged

Requirements:

If you are not using the static build as explained in the next chapter, your system needs libfuse > v3.2.1.

  • On Fedora: dnf install fuse3-devel
  • On Ubuntu > v19.04: apt install libfuse3-dev

Also, please note that, when using fuse-overlayfs from a user namespace (for example, when using rootless podman) a Linux Kernel > v4.18.0 is required.

Static Build:

This project provides a convenient way to automatically perform a static build using a container. The result is a self-contained binary without dependencies, that can be copied across hosts.

  1. Install buildah as explained here;

  2. Both the build and deploy host require the special device /dev/fuse; there are a few ways to obtain it:

  • install fuse2 or fuse3 using the package manager of your choice (dnf, apt, pacman, etc): the install script will usually create the device automatically; or
  • manually create the device with the command mknod /dev/fuse -m 0666 c 10 229 (see this code)
  1. Clone this repository, and switch to the top-level folder containing the file "Containerfile.static.ubuntu";

  2. Launch the build with the command (note the single dot . at the end):

buildah bud -v $PWD:/build/fuse-overlayfs -t fuse-overlayfs -f ./Containerfile.static.ubuntu .
  1. Copy the resulting binary to your host:
sudo cp fuse-overlayfs /usr/bin/
