Use Docker Build Cloud in CI | Speed up your continuous integration pipelines with Docker Build Cloud in CI | build, cloud build, ci, gha, gitlab, buildkite, jenkins, circle ci |
|
Using Docker Build Cloud in CI can speed up your build pipelines, which means less time spent waiting and context switching. You control your CI workflows as usual, and delegate the build execution to Docker Build Cloud.
Building with Docker Build Cloud in CI involves the following steps:
- Sign in to a Docker account.
- Set up Buildx and connect to the builder.
- Run the build.
When using Docker Build Cloud in CI, it's recommended that you push the result to a registry directly, rather than loading the image and then pushing it. Pushing directly speeds up your builds and avoids unnecessary file transfers.
If you just want to build and discard the output, export the results to the build cache or build without tagging the image. When you use Docker Build Cloud, Buildx automatically loads the build result if you build a tagged image. See Loading build results for details.
Note
Builds on Docker Build Cloud have a timeout limit of two hours. Builds that run for longer than two hours are automatically cancelled.

The following example sets up a Buildkite pipeline using Docker Build Cloud. The
example assumes that the pipeline name is build-push-docker
and that you
manage the Docker access token using environment hooks, but feel free to adapt
this to your needs.
Add the following environment
hook agent's hook directory:
#!/bin/bash
set -euo pipefail
if [[ "$BUILDKITE_PIPELINE_NAME" == "build-push-docker" ]]; then
export DOCKER_PAT="<DOCKER_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN>"
fi
Create a pipeline.yml
that uses the docker-login
plugin:
env:
DOCKER_ORG: <ORG>
IMAGE_NAME: <IMAGE>
steps:
- command: ./build.sh
key: build-push
plugins:
- docker-login#v2.1.0:
username: <DOCKER_USER>
password-env: DOCKER_PAT # the variable name in the environment hook
Create the build.sh
script:
DOCKER_DIR=/usr/libexec/docker
# Get download link for latest buildx binary.
# Set $ARCH to the CPU architecture (e.g. amd64, arm64)
UNAME_ARCH=`uname -m`
