You can set the following environment variables to enable, disable, or change
the behavior of features related to building:
| Variable | Type | Description |
| --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| [BUILDKIT_COLORS](#buildkit_colors) | String | Configure text color for the terminal output. |
| [BUILDKIT_HOST](#buildkit_host) | String | Specify host to use for remote builders. |
| [BUILDKIT_PROGRESS](#buildkit_progress) | String | Configure type of progress output. |
| [BUILDKIT_EXPERIMENTAL_SOURCE_POLICY](#buildkit_experimental_source_policy) | String | Specify a BuildKit source policy file. |
| [BUILDX_BUILDER](#buildx_builder) | String | Specify the builder instance to use. |
| [BUILDX_CONFIG](#buildx_config) | String | Specify location for configuration, state, and logs. |
| [BUILDX_EXPERIMENTAL](#buildx_experimental) | Boolean | Turn on experimental features. |
| [BUILDX_GIT_CHECK_DIRTY](#buildx_git_check_dirty) | Boolean | Enable dirty Git checkout detection. |
| [BUILDX_GIT_INFO](#buildx_git_info) | Boolean | Remove Git information in provenance attestations. |
| [BUILDX_GIT_LABELS](#buildx_git_labels) | String \| Boolean | Add Git provenance labels to images. |
| [BUILDX_NO_DEFAULT_ATTESTATIONS](#buildx_no_default_attestations) | Boolean | Turn off default provenance attestations. |
| [BUILDX_NO_DEFAULT_LOAD](#buildx_no_default_load) | Boolean | Turn off loading images to image store by default. |

[BuildKit built-in build args](../../engine/reference/builder.md#buildkit-built-in-build-args).
You can express Boolean values for environment variables in different ways. For
example, `true`, `1`, and `T` all evaluate to true. Evaluation is done using the
`strconv.ParseBool` function in the Go standard library. See the
[reference documentation](https://pkg.go.dev/strconv#ParseBool){: target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="_" }
for details.
## BUILDKIT_COLORS
Changes the colors of the terminal output. Set `BUILDKIT_COLORS` to a CSV string
in the following format:
```console
$ export BUILDKIT_COLORS="run=123,20,245:error=yellow:cancel=blue:warning=white"
```
Color values can be any valid RGB hex code, or one of the
[BuildKit predefined colors](https://github.com/moby/buildkit/blob/master/util/progress/progressui/colors.go){: target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="_" }.
Setting `NO_COLOR` to anything turns off colorized output, as recommended by
[no-color.org](https://no-color.org/){: target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="_" }.
## BUILDKIT_HOST
_Introduced in [Buildx v0.9.0](../release-notes.md#090)_
You use the `BUILDKIT_HOST` to specify the address of a BuildKit daemon to use
as a remote builder. This is the same as specifying the address as a positional
argument to `docker buildx create`.
Usage:
```console
$ export BUILDKIT_HOST=tcp://localhost:1234
$ docker buildx create --name=remote --driver=remote
```
If you specify both the `BUILDKIT_HOST` environment variable and a positional
argument, the argument takes priority.
## BUILDKIT_PROGRESS
Sets the type of the BuildKit progress output. Valid values are:
- `auto` (default)
- `plain`
- `tty`
Usage:
```console
$ export BUILDKIT_PROGRESS=plain
```
## BUILDKIT_EXPERIMENTAL_SOURCE_POLICY
Lets you specify a
[BuildKit source policy](https://github.com/moby/buildkit/blob/master/docs/build-repro.md#reproducing-the-pinned-dependencies)
file for creating reproducible builds with pinned dependencies.
```console
$ export BUILDKIT_EXPERIMENTAL_SOURCE_POLICY=./policy.json
```
## BUILDX_BUILDER
Overrides the configured builder instance. Same as the `docker buildx --builder`
CLI flag.
Usage:
```console
$ export BUILDX_BUILDER=my-builder
```
## BUILDX_CONFIG
You can use `BUILDX_CONFIG` to specify the directory to use for build
configuration, state, and logs. The lookup order for this directory is as
follows:
- `$BUILDX_CONFIG`
- `$DOCKER_CONFIG/buildx`
- `~/.docker/buildx` (default)
Usage:
```console
$ export BUILDX_CONFIG=/usr/local/etc
```
## BUILDX_EXPERIMENTAL
Enables experimental build features.
Usage:
```console
$ export BUILDX_EXPERIMENTAL=1
```
## BUILDX_GIT_CHECK_DIRTY
_Introduced in [Buildx v0.10.4](../release-notes.md#0104)_
When set to true, checks for dirty state in source control information for
[provenance attestations](../attestations/slsa-provenance.md).
Usage:
```console
$ export BUILDX_GIT_CHECK_DIRTY=1
```
## BUILDX_GIT_INFO
_Introduced in [Buildx v0.10.0](../release-notes.md#0100)_
When set to false, removes source control information from
[provenance attestations](../attestations/slsa-provenance.md).
Usage:
```console
$ export BUILDX_GIT_INFO=0
```
## BUILDX_GIT_LABELS
_Introduced in [Buildx v0.10.0](../release-notes.md#0100)_
Adds provenance labels, based on Git information, to images that you build. The
labels are:
- `com.docker.image.source.entrypoint`: Location of the Dockerfile relative to
the project root
- `org.opencontainers.image.revision`: Git commit revision
- `org.opencontainers.image.source`: SSH or HTTPS address of the repository
Example:
```json
"Labels": {
"com.docker.image.source.entrypoint": "Dockerfile",
"org.opencontainers.image.revision": "5734329c6af43c2ae295010778cd308866b95d9b",
"org.opencontainers.image.source": "git@github.com:foo/bar.git"
}
```
Usage:
- Set `BUILDX_GIT_LABELS=1` to include the `entrypoint` and `revision` labels.
- Set `BUILDX_GIT_LABELS=full` to include all labels.
If the repository is in a dirty state, the `revision` gets a `-dirty` suffix.
## BUILDX_NO_DEFAULT_ATTESTATIONS
_Introduced in [Buildx v0.10.4](../release-notes.md#0104)_
By default, BuildKit v0.11 and later adds
[provenance attestations](../attestations/slsa-provenance.md) to images you
build. Set `BUILDX_NO_DEFAULT_ATTESTATIONS=1` to disable the default provenance
attestations.
Usage:
```console
$ export BUILDX_NO_DEFAULT_ATTESTATIONS=1
```
## BUILDX_NO_DEFAULT_LOAD
When you build an image using the `docker` driver, the image is automatically
loaded to the image store when the build finishes. Set `BUILDX_NO_DEFAULT_LOAD`
to disable automatic loading of images to the local container store.
Usage:
```console
$ export BUILDX_NO_DEFAULT_LOAD=1
```
