I'd like to use jib but only for building an image and not deploying it to the cloud or dockerhub.
Is it possible?
Jib supports also building an image without sending it to a remote registry, e.g. with the Gradle plugin you can run:
gradle jibDockerBuild
instead of:
gradle jib
It also supports commands like gradle jibBuildTar
to build the image and store it in a tar file.
