Build images with BuildKit |
Learn the new features of Docker Build with BuildKit |
build, security, engine, secret, BuildKit |
Docker Build is one of the most used features of the Docker Engine - users ranging from developers, build teams, and release teams all use Docker Build.
Docker Build enhancements for 18.09 release introduces a much-needed overhaul of the build architecture. By integrating BuildKit, users should see an improvement on performance, storage management, feature functionality, and security.
- Docker images created with BuildKit can be pushed to Docker Hub just like Docker images created with legacy build
- the Dockerfile format that works on legacy build will also work with BuildKit builds
- The new
--secretcommand line option allows the user to pass secret information for building new images with a specified Dockerfile
For more information on build options, see the reference guide on the command line build options and the Dockerfile reference page.
- A current version of Docker (18.09 or higher)
- Network connection required for downloading images of custom frontends
- Only supported for building Linux containers
Easiest way from a fresh install of docker is to set the DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1
environment variable when invoking the docker build command, such as:
$ DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker build .To enable docker BuildKit by default, set daemon configuration in
/etc/docker/daemon.json feature to true and restart the daemon:
{ "features": { "buildkit": true } }New docker build BuildKit TTY output (default):
$ docker build .

frontend. To override the default frontend, set the first line of the
Dockerfile as a comment with a specific frontend image:
# syntax=<frontend image>, e.g. # syntax=docker/dockerfile:1.2The examples on this page use features that are available in docker/dockerfile
version 1.2.0 and up. We recommend using docker/dockerfile:1, which always
points to the latest release of the version 1 syntax. BuildKit automatically
checks for updates of the syntax before building, making sure you are using the
most current version. Learn more about the syntax directive in the
Dockerfile reference.
The new --secret flag for docker build allows the user to pass secret
information to be used in the Dockerfile for building docker images in a safe
way that will not end up stored in the final image.
id is the identifier to pass into the docker build --secret. This identifier
is associated with the RUN --mount identifier to use in the Dockerfile. Docker
does not use the filename of where the secret is kept outside of the Dockerfile,
since this may be sensitive information.
dst renames the secret file to a specific file in the Dockerfile RUN command
to use.
For example, with a secret piece of information stored in a text file:
$ echo 'WARMACHINEROX' > mysecret.txtAnd with a Dockerfile that specifies use of a BuildKit frontend
docker/dockerfile:1.2, the secret can be accessed when performing a RUN:
# syntax=docker/dockerfile:1.2
FROM alpine
# shows secret from default secret location:
RUN --mount=type=secret,id=mysecret cat /run/secrets/mysecret
# shows secret from custom secret location:
RUN --mount=type=secret,id=mysecret,dst=/foobar cat /foobarThe secret needs to be passed to the build using the --secret flag.
This Dockerfile is only to demonstrate that the secret can be accessed. As you
can see the secret printed in the build output. The final image built will not
have the secret file:
$ docker build --no-cache --progress=plain --secret id=mysecret,src=mysecret.txt .

Please see Build secrets and SSH forwarding in Docker 18.09 for more information and examples.
The docker build has a --ssh option to allow the Docker Engine to forward
SSH agent connections. For more information on SSH agent, see the
OpenSSH man page.
Only the commands in the Dockerfile that have explicitly requested the SSH
access by defining type=ssh mount have access to SSH agent connections. The
other commands have no knowledge of any SSH agent being available.
To request SSH access for a RUN command in the Dockerfile, define a mount
with type ssh. This will set up the SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable to
make programs relying on SSH automatically use that socket.
Here is an example Dockerfile using SSH in the container:
# syntax=docker/dockerfile:1
FROM alpine
# Install ssh client and git
RUN apk add --no-cache openssh-client git
# Download public key for github.com
RUN mkdir -p -m 0600 ~/.ssh && ssh-keyscan github.com >> ~/.ssh/known_hosts
# Clone private repository
RUN --mount=type=ssh git clone [email protected]:myorg/myproject.git myprojectOnce the Dockerfile is created, use the --ssh option for connectivity with
the SSH agent.
$ docker build --ssh default .You may need to run ssh-add to add private key identities to the authentication agent first for this to work.
If you are fetching images from insecure registry (with self-signed certificates) and/or using such a registry as a mirror, you are facing a known issue in Docker 18.09 :
