Local IIS build in my lab

qemu-img convert -f raw -O qcow2 disk.img iis.qcow2

cat - > Dockerfile <<EOF
FROM scratch
LABEL maintainer="Robert Bohne <robert.bohne@redhat.com>"
ADD iis.qcow2 /disk/rhel.qcow2
EOF


oc create is iis -n cnv

export REGISTRY=$(oc get route default-route -n openshift-image-registry --template='{{ .spec.host }}')
export REGISTRY_TOKEN=$(oc whoami -t)
podman login -u $(oc whoami) -p $REGISTRY_TOKEN --tls-verify=false $HOST

podman build -t ${REGISTRY}/cnv/iis:latest .
podman push ${REGISTRY}/cnv/iis:latest

# Deploy template
