Planning to build disk images on an airplane, train, or somewhere with slow/no internet? You can pre-download all the required container images needed to run the bootc extension beforehand.

**Note:** ISO builds (`anaconda-iso`) will **not** work offline as they pull RPMs during the build process. Use `qcow2`, `raw`, `vmdk`, `vhd`, or other formats for offline builds.

The extension uses `bootc-image-builder` to create disk images. Pull the appropriate builder for your base image:
1. While online, pull the builder and base images you need

2. Build your bootc container image from your Containerfile
328
+
3. Go offline

4. Use the extension to build disk images (qcow2, raw, vmdk, etc.)
