Build image without pushing to package registry

[0xifarouk]

I am trying to run the command

swift package build-container-image --from swift:slim

to run it locally without pushing it to a remote registry, but I got this error:

Missing expected argument '--repository <repository>'

Is it a must to push to a remote registry?

Yes, currently the plugin cannot push an image to a local container runtime - it only supports pushing to a remote registry.

You can run a local a registry instance for testing. The following command will run a local registry listening on port 5555 (port 5000 is already in use on macOS):

docker run -d -p 5555:5000 registry:2
