## About
GitHub Action to set up Docker [Buildx](https://github.com/docker/buildx).
This action will create and boot a builder that can be used in the following steps of your workflow if you're using
[buildx](https://github.com/docker/buildx). By default, the `docker-container` [builder driver](https://github.com/docker/buildx/blob/master/docs/reference/buildx_create.md#driver)
will be used to be able to build multi-platform images and export cache thanks to the [BuildKit](https://github.com/moby/buildkit)
container.

## Usage
### Quick start
```yaml
name: ci
on:
push:
jobs:
buildx:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
-
name: Checkout
uses: actions/checkout@v3
-
name: Set up Docker Buildx
id: buildx
uses: docker/setup-buildx-action@v2
-
name: Inspect builder
run: |
echo "Name: ${{ steps.buildx.outputs.name }}"
echo "Endpoint: ${{ steps.buildx.outputs.endpoint }}"
echo "Status: ${{ steps.buildx.outputs.status }}"
echo "Flags: ${{ steps.buildx.outputs.flags }}"
echo "Platforms: ${{ steps.buildx.outputs.platforms }}"
```
### With QEMU
If you want support for more platforms you can use our [setup-qemu](https://github.com/docker/setup-qemu-action) action:
```yaml
name: ci
on:
push:
jobs:
buildx:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
-
name: Checkout
uses: actions/checkout@v3
-
name: Set up QEMU
uses: docker/setup-qemu-action@v2
-
name: Set up Docker Buildx
id: buildx
uses: docker/setup-buildx-action@v2
-
name: Available platforms
run: echo ${{ steps.buildx.outputs.platforms }}
```
### Install by default
```yaml
name: ci
on:
push:
jobs:
buildx:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
-
name: Checkout
uses: actions/checkout@v3
-
uses: docker/setup-buildx-action@v2
id: buildx
with:
install: true
-
name: Build
run: |
docker build . # will run buildx
```
### BuildKit daemon configuration
You can provide a [BuildKit configuration](https://github.com/moby/buildkit/blob/master/docs/buildkitd.toml.md)
to your builder if you're using the [`docker-container` driver](https://github.com/docker/buildx/blob/master/docs/reference/buildx_create.md#driver)
(default) with the `config` or `config-inline` inputs:
#### Registry mirror
You can configure a registry mirror using an inline block directly in your
workflow with the `config-inline` input:
```yaml
name: ci
on:
push:
jobs:
buildx:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
-
name: Set up Docker Buildx
uses: docker/setup-buildx-action@v2
with:
config-inline: |
[registry."docker.io"]
mirrors = ["mirror.gcr.io"]
```
#### Max parallelism
You can limit the parallelism of the BuildKit solver which is particularly
useful for low-powered machines.
You can use the `config-inline` input like the
previous example, or you can use a dedicated BuildKit config file from your
repo if you want with the `config` input:
```toml
# .github/buildkitd.toml
[worker.oci]
max-parallelism = 4
```
```yaml
name: ci
on:
push:
jobs:
buildx:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
-
name: Set up Docker Buildx
uses: docker/setup-buildx-action@v2
with:
config: .github/buildkitd.toml
```
### Standalone mode
If you don't have the Docker CLI installed on the GitHub Runner, buildx binary
is invoked directly, instead of calling it as a docker plugin. This can be
useful if you want to use the `kubernetes` driver in your self-hosted runner:
```yaml
name: ci
on:
push:
jobs:
buildx:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
-
name: Set up Docker Buildx
uses: docker/setup-buildx-action@v2
with:
driver: kubernetes
-
name: Build
run: |
buildx build .
```
## Customizing
### inputs
Following inputs can be used as `step.with` keys
| Name | Type | Description |
|--------------------|---------|-----------------------------------|
| `version` | String | [buildx](https://github.com/docker/buildx) version. (eg. `v0.3.0`, `latest`, `https://github.com/docker/buildx.git#master`) |
| `driver` | String | Sets the [builder driver](https://github.com/docker/buildx/blob/master/docs/reference/buildx_create.md#driver) to be used (default `docker-container`) |
| `driver-opts` | CSV | List of additional [driver-specific options](https://github.com/docker/buildx/blob/master/docs/reference/buildx_create.md#driver-opt) (eg. `image=moby/buildkit:master`) |
| `buildkitd-flags` | String | [Flags for buildkitd](https://github.com/moby/buildkit/blob/master/docs/buildkitd.toml.md) daemon (since [buildx v0.3.0](https://github.com/docker/buildx/releases/tag/v0.3.0)) |
| `install` | Bool | Sets up `docker build` command as an alias to `docker buildx` (default `false`) |
| `use` | Bool | Switch to this builder instance (default `true`) |
| `endpoint` | String | [Optional address for docker socket](https://github.com/docker/buildx/blob/master/docs/reference/buildx_create.md#description) or context from `docker context ls` |
| `config`¹ | String | [BuildKit config file](https://github.com/docker/buildx/blob/master/docs/reference/buildx_create.md#config) |
| `config-inline`¹ | String | Same as `config` but inline |
> * ¹ `config` and `config-inline` are mutually exclusive
> `CSV` type must be a newline-delimited string
> ```yaml
> driver-opts: image=moby/buildkit:master
> ```
> ```yaml
> driver-opts: |

## Notes
### BuildKit container logs
To display BuildKit container logs (when `docker-container` driver is used) you have to [enable step debug logging](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/managing-workflow-runs/enabling-debug-logging#enabling-step-debug-logging)
or you can also enable debugging in the [setup-buildx action step](https://github.com/docker/setup-buildx-action):
```yaml
-
name: Set up Docker Buildx
uses: docker/setup-buildx-action@v2
with:
buildkitd-flags: --debug
```
Logs will be available at the end of a job:

## Keep up-to-date with GitHub Dependabot
Since [Dependabot](https://docs.github.com/en/github/administering-a-repository/keeping-your-actions-up-to-date-with-github-dependabot)
has [native GitHub Actions support](https://docs.github.com/en/github/administering-a-repository/configuration-options-for-dependency-updates#package-ecosystem),
to enable it on your GitHub repo all you need to do is add the `.github/dependabot.yml` file:
```yaml
version: 2
updates:
# Maintain dependencies for GitHub Actions
- package-ecosystem: "github-actions"
directory: "/"
schedule:
interval: "daily"
```
