Custom Base Images

If you need your images to have a different base image then you can pass the BASE_IMAGE variable to the components or publish-component-containers to change it to whatever you need. The targets build the binaries and place them in the bin directory and then other targets package them into containers with scratch as the base image.

There are some components that require extra components or special treatment and these components have their own Makefiles. In those cases you can place a .custom_image file in the directory with the base image you wish to use and that will be picked up by the Makefile and build the container.
