Build application container on host machine

Hi is there a way to build application container on the host machine and just push the image to target device such as raspberry

Hi. It is possible to build locally and push to an application. See https://www.balena.io/docs/reference/cli/#deploy-appname-image, specially the --build flag. However, building locally and pushing directly to specific devices in local mode is not yet supported: https://github.com/balena-io/balena-cli/issues/613.

Let us know if that works for you.

Yes, this is what I was looking for. Thanks for the quick reply.
