Use Docker Build Cloud in 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:

  1. Sign in to a Docker account.
  2. Set up Buildx and connect to the builder.
  3. 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.

Note

Version 4.0.0 and later of docker/build-push-action and docker/bake-action builds images with provenance attestations by default. Docker Build Cloud automatically attempts to load images to the local image store if you don't explicitly push them to a registry.

This results in a conflicting scenario where if you build a tagged image without pushing it to a registry, Docker Build Cloud attempts to load images containing attestations. But the local image store on the GitHub runner doesn't support attestations, and the image load fails as a result.

If you want to load images built with docker/build-push-action together with Docker Build Cloud, you must disable provenance attestations by setting provenance: false in the GitHub Action inputs (or in docker-bake.hcl if you use Bake).

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`
case $UNAME_ARCH in
  aarch64)
