create a container in either supported format, you can use it to convert

.. note::
{Project} leverages the user namespace kernel feature to give the illusion
of elevated privileges while building containers. On some systems, the user
namespace may be incompletely configured for individual users. In this case,
{Project} may bind mount the ``fakeroot`` program from the host into the
container during the build, and this might fail in some containers with
mismatching libraries. See the :ref:`fakeroot documentation <fakeroot>` for
more details.
