Description

Docker Buildx — multi-platform builds, BuildKit mounts, Bake, cache backends, CI integration. Use when building container images. NOT for GPU runtime or Compose.

Mount requirements separately — avoids COPY cache invalidation on code changes

RUN --mount=type=bind,source=requirements.txt,target=/tmp/req.txt \ --mount=type=cache,target=/root/.cache/pip \ pip install -r /tmp/req.txt `

Docker Buildx

Buildx is Docker's extended build system powered by BuildKit. It replaces docker build with multi-platform support, advanced caching, and distributed build capabilities.

Builders

Builders are BuildKit instances that execute builds. Choose based on needed features: | Driver | Isolation | Multi-platform | Cache Export | Use Case | |--------|-----------|----------------|--------------|----------| | docker | None (default) | ❌ | ❌ | Basic local builds | | docker-container | Container | ✅ | ✅ | Local dev with advanced features | | kubernetes | Pod | ✅ | ✅ | CI/CD on K8s clusters | | remote | External | ✅ | ✅ | Shared team builders | `bash

Create a docker-container builder (most common for local dev)

docker buildx create --name mybuilder --driver docker-container --use
