If you’re building OSv from source, you can use the capstan push command to temporarily use a local build in place of a base image from a network repository. This is handy when you’re trying your application with a patched version of OSv. Just run capstan push after the OSv build to push your newly built image into your local Capstan repository.

For example, if your Capstanfile uses the cloudius/osv-base base image:

make 
capstan push cloudius/osv-base  build/release/usr.img

When you’re ready to go back to using the image from the network, you can run

capstan pull cloudius/osv-base

to replace the image in your local repository with the image from the network repository.
