How do you pull logically-bound images during build?

[Tualua]

I'm building images in Gitlab pipeline and found that if I don't pull image before calling bootc-image-builder it throws "does not resolve to an image ID" error.

ansible podman_image is not working, calling podman pull from playbook also doesn't work, the only way I found to pull images is from RUN in Containerfile. Is it ok or am I missing something?

Hi yes, this is a known pain point. As of recently the bootc install flow does support --bound-images=pull, but this is not plumbed through into bootc-image-builder.
