Docker and WSL2 without Docker Desktop
To install the newest builder, download the latest version of the buildxplugin by visiting https://github.com/docker/buildx/releases. Find the most recent release, go to the “Assets” section, and expand the list of assets. Download the file that ends with windows-amd64.exe, like buildx-v0.14.0.windows-amd64.exe. Place the downloaded file in the cli-plugins folder you created earlier, and rename it to docker-buildx.exe. Now, the command docker build will automatically use the new builder.

One Dockerfile is all it takes, falling in love with bake
Now, we have examples of the actual definitions for a single application’s docker container. Notice that we set the contexts key here which references the dependency targets we just defined. You can basically think of this like the depends_on block if you’ve used Terraform before. The args key let’s us populate the ARG variables in the Dockerfile. This is what is ultimately different between each of the containers. In the future, the buildx team might support using for_each loops like in Terraform but for now each block will have a bit of duplication.

Optimize your docker containers
Now as bonus we i will add how to use this techniques to build a multi arch build container. Maybe you have the same application but you need to run it in arm or riscv architecture. For this we can use the buildx plugin from docker https://github.com/docker/buildx.
