Build from Containerfile

podman build creates container images from a Containerfile (or Dockerfile) in the specified build context directory. It is compatible with Docker build syntax and supports multi-stage builds, build arguments, and layer caching.
Under the hood, it uses Buildah for the actual image building process. The --no-cache flag forces rebuilding all layers, --build-arg passes build-time variables, and --squash merges all layers into a single layer. The output is an OCI-compliant container image.
