Setup Buildkit on Windows

from_gabriel.txt

quick instructions
==================


you will need https://github.com/containerd/containerd/releases/tag/v1.7.3

installed and running with default config


you will also need a proper CNI installed

https://gist.github.com/gabriel-samfira/c1d060fc07156cfa1e00e7cef8e7fb1c

i usually use this to set up containerd


after you have containerd installed you will need buildkit\


git clone https://github.com/moby/buildkit.git


cd buildkit


git remote add gabriel-samfira https://github.com/gabriel-samfira/buildkit/


git fetch gabriel-samfira


git checkout master

git branch staging


git checkout staging


git merge enable-windows-executor


git merge fileop-read-user


go install .\cmd\...

buildkitd.exe --debug --containerd-worker=true --containerd-cni-config-path='C:/Program Files/containerd/cni/conf/0-containerd-nat.conf' --containerd-cni-binary-dir='C:/Program Files/containerd/cni/bin' --service-name buildkitd --register-service


this will install the buildkit service


start-service containerd


start-service buildkitd


and you should be all set


to build a Dockerfile that resides in your current folder, you can run:


buildctl.exe build --output type=image,name=docker.samfira.com/test,push=false --progress plain --frontend=dockerfile.v0  --local context=. --local dockerfile=.


change the image name to something else if you wish


if you want the standard buildkit progress, remove --progress plain
