I want to use experimental docker buildx feature with my Jenkins pipeline docker.build.
AFAIK docker.build allows only build arguments provide. But want I need is provide build as argument itself provide to buildx
You can set alias for docker buildx by running this command docker buildx install.
This will use buildx builder whenever you call docker build.

However, Jenkins' docker plugin doesn't support it at the time of writing and there is an open issue for that.
Alternatively, you can build images without plugin:
steps {
script {
sh """
docker build buildx ...
"""
}
}

Since BuildKit has been set as the default backend of docker, can we just build cache based on command docker build ... without the help of docker buildx build ... --to-cache?
I checked options list of docker build but I can not find the --to-cache option.
I was reading the docs regarding docker buildx build to build to multiple architectures and I got puzzled with the --push option, it says that it pushes to the registry directly but how does it know or how can I specify where I want it to push the built images?
For more context, my plan is to push the images to my Gitlab private container registry from my Gitlab CI/CD pipeline
First login to your private registry, with the command docker login myregistry.com. After that specify your registry in the tag name of your image docker buildx build --push -t myregistry/appname:version . and it should push your image after build.
We're using docker buildx bake with a build definition file to build a set of images. We need to set BUILDKIT_INLINE_CACHE which would normally be set with --build-args if running docker buildx build.
How can this arg be set with bake?
Sounds like the answer is: its not necessary. The env var is just a hint.
I am looking for plugin which will build the docker Image and ush it to DTR using Jenkins
I have linux vm machine 10.1.2.3 (Build Machine) Here I want to build the Image
The DTR repository is https://vm-some-repo.com
I am new to Docker and Jenkins
Please let me know what is the smiplest way to acchive this task.
Either you can use docker plugin for Jenkins.
https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Docker+Plugin
or you can configure Jenkin job to execute the shell command
docker build . (You can get the Dockerfile from the source repository(svn, git))
docker tag
docker push
I have configured my Jenkins to run our Build Jobs and functional Tests in a docker container. For example, when I click on the "Build Now"-Button - Jenkins will build the Dockerfile which is in Git and run the container so the Buildsteps (Jenkinsfile) can be done in this container.
My Question is now: How can I specify a startscript for my Container in the Jenkins-Pipeline?
Thanks for any tips.
You can pass a string(i.e. the startscript name) as an input parameter in your Jenkins pipeline, so that you can conditionally specify which script to run.
Then you can mount the appropriate script at runtime in your jenkins pipeline config.
docker run -v /path/to/script:/var imageName /var/${START_SCRIPT}.sh
