Support for dockerfile_inline missing

[wrobelda]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Support for dockerfile_inline syntax was added to compose spec 2 years ago: (https://github.com/compose-spec/compose-spec/issues/298)

It seems, however, that podman is missing support for it. For example, the following example:

services:
  nfsvolumetest:
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile_inline: |
        FROM docker.io/alpine:latest
        RUN apk update && apk add --update nfs-utils && rm -rf /var/cache/apk/*

results in:

podman-compose version: 1.0.6
['podman', '--version', '']
using podman version: 4.9.2
** excluding:  set()
['podman', 'inspect', '-t', 'image', '-f', '{{.Id}}', 'tmp_nfsvolumetest']
Error: unable to inspect "tmp_nfsvolumetest": failed to find image tmp_nfsvolumetest: tmp_nfsvolumetest: image not known

I confirm dockerfile_inline doesn't seem to be parsed/implemented by podman-compose 1.0.6

Any news here? This feature would allow me to switch from docker to podman.

I'm having this issue as well! 🙋
