About

GitHub Action to set up 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 or the build-push action. By default, the docker-container driver will be used to be able to build multi-platform images and export cache using a BuildKit container.

Notes

BuildKit container logs

To display BuildKit container logs (when docker-container driver is used) you have to enable step debug logging, or you can also enable debugging in the setup-buildx action step:

  -
    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:
