|
|||
and much improved functionality that can be powerful tools for improving your
|
||||
builds' performance or reusability of your Dockerfiles, and it also introduces
|
||||
support for complex scenarios.
|
||||
|
||||
## Docker Build features
|
||||
|
||||
Docker Build is way more than your `docker build` command and is not only about packaging your code, it’s a whole ecosystem of tools and features that support you not only with common workflow tasks but also provides you with support for more complex and advanced scenarios.
|
||||
Here’s an overview of all the use cases with which Build can support you:
|
||||
|
||||
### Building your images
|
||||
|
||||
* **Packaging your software**
|
||||
Bundle and package your code to run anywhere, from your local Docker Desktop, to Docker Engine and Kubernetes on the cloud.
|
||||
To get started with Build, see the [Hello Build](hellobuild.md) page.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Choosing a build driver**
|
||||
Run Buildx with different configurations depending on the scenario you are working on, regardless of whether you are using your local machine or a remote compute cluster, all from the comfort of your local working environment.
|
||||
Here’s a quick overview of the drivers and the use cases they support:
|
||||
* `docker`– use the default built-in builder to get started quickly.
|
||||
* `docker-container` – spin up a dedicated builder in a docker container to unlock more advanced features like advanced caching, and multi-arch images.
|
||||
* `kubernetes`– connect to your Kubernetes cluster to unlock more features and to run your builds at scale.
|
||||
* `remote`– manually manage your own BuildKit builder and connect directly to it.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Optimizing builds with cache management**
|
||||
Improve build performance by using a persistent shared build cache to avoid repeating costly operations such as package installations, downloading files from the internet, or code build steps.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Creating build-once, run-anywhere with multi-architecture builds**
|
||||
Collaborate across platforms with one build artifact.
|
||||
See [Build multi platform images](buildx/index.md/#build-multi-platform-images).
|
||||
|
||||
### Automating your builds
|
||||
|
||||
* **Integrating with GitHub**
|
||||
Automate your image builds to run in GitHub actions using the official docker build actions. See:
|
||||
* [GitHub Action to build and push Docker images with Buildx](https://github.com/docker/build-push-action).
|
||||
* [GitHub Action to extract metadata from Git reference and GitHub events](https://github.com/docker/metadata-action/).
|
||||
|
||||
* **Orchestrating builds across complex projects together**
|
||||
Connect your builds together and easily parameterize your images using buildx bake.
|
||||
<!--replace when Bake content is onboarded -->
|
||||
See [High-level build options](buildx/index.md/#high-level-build-options)
|
||||
|
||||
### Customizing your Builds
|
||||
|
||||
* **Select your build output format**
|
||||
Choose from a variety of available output formats, to export any artifact you like from BuildKit, not just docker images.
|
||||
See [Set the export action for the build result](../engine/reference/commandline/buildx_build.md/#output).
|
||||
|
||||
* **Managing build secrets**
|
||||
Securely access protected repositories and resources at build time without leaking data into the final build or the cache.
|
||||
|
||||
### Extending BuildKit
|
||||
|
||||
* **Custom syntax on Dockerfile**
|
||||
Use experimental versions of the Dockerfile frontend, or even just bring your own to BuildKit using the power of custom frontends.
|
||||
See also the [Syntax directive](../engine/reference/builder/#syntax).
|
||||
|
||||
* **Configure BuildKit**
|
||||
Take a deep dive into the internal BuildKit configuration to get the most out of your builds.
|
||||
See also [`buildkitd.toml`](https://github.com/moby/buildkit/blob/master/docs/buildkitd.toml.md), the configuration file for `buildkitd`.
