Important: This repository is in an early development phase and not suitable for practical workloads. It does not compare with docker build
features yet.
BuildKit
BuildKit is a toolkit for converting source code to build artifacts in an efficient, expressive and repeatable manner.
Key features:
- Automatic garbage collection
- Extendable frontend formats
- Concurrent dependency resolution
- Efficient instruction caching
- Build cache import/export
- Nested build job invocations
- Distributable workers
- Multiple output formats
- Pluggable architecture
Read the proposal from https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/32925
Quick start
BuildKit daemon can be built in two different versions: one that uses containerd for execution and distribution, and a standalone version that doesn't have other dependencies apart from runc. We are open for adding more backends. buildd
is a CLI utility for running the gRPC API.
# buildd daemon (choose one)
go build -o buildd-containerd -tags containerd ./cmd/buildd
go build -o buildd-standalone -tags standalone ./cmd/buildd
# buildctl utility
go build -o buildctl ./cmd/buildctl
You can also use make binaries
that prepares all binaries into the bin/
directory.
The first thing to test could be to try building BuildKit with BuildKit. BuildKit provides a low-level solver format that could be used by multiple build definitions. Preparation work for making the Dockerfile parser reusable as a frontend is tracked in https://github.com/moby/moby/pull/33492. As no frontends have been integrated yet we currently have to use a client library to generate this low-level definition.
examples/buildkit*
directory contains scripts that define how to build different configurations of BuildKit and its dependencies using the client
package. Running one of these script generates a protobuf definition of a build graph. Note that the script itself does not execute any steps of the build.
You can use buildctl debug dump-llb
to see what data is this definition.
go run examples/buildkit0/buildkit.go | buildctl debug dump-llb | jq .
To start building use buildctl build
command. The script accepts --target
flag to choose between containerd
and standalone
configurations. In standalone mode BuildKit binaries are built together with runc
. In containerd mode, the containerd
binary is built as well from the upstream repo.
go run examples/buildkit0/buildkit.go | buildctl build
buildctl build
will show interactive progress bar by default while the build job is running. It will also show you the path to the trace file that contains all information about the timing of the individual steps and logs.
Different versions of the example scripts show different ways of describing the build definition for this project to show the capabilities of the library. New versions have been added when new features have become available.
./examples/buildkit0
- uses only exec operations, defines a full stage per component../examples/buildkit1
- cloning git repositories has been separated for extra concurrency../examples/buildkit2
- uses git sources directly instead of runninggit clone
, allowing better performance and much safer caching../examples/buildkit3
- allows using local source files for separate components eg../buildkit3 --runc=local | buildctl build --local runc-src=some/local/path
Supported runc version
During development buildkit is tested with the version of runc that is being used by the containerd repository. Please refer to runc.md for more information.
