One Dockerfile is all it takes, falling in love with bake

I like experimenting with a lot of different ideas, and for the last several years, I've been trying to figure out how to maximize my ability to try new ideas with as little work as possible. In this post, I want to go over what I've settled on these days, which is to use a monolithic git repository, and to leverage Docker's bake functionality. We'll talk about how I structure my repository, how I build the containers, etc. If you'd just like to look through the repo, check it out at abatilo/newsletter-bake-monorepo.

  Docker CLI plugin for extended build capabilities with BuildKit

  

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.

  GitHub Action to use Docker Buildx Bake as a high-level build command

  

There’s an amazing docker/bake-action which makes it insanely easy to build all of your containers in the most optimal way. Since we’ve set the group “default” block in the docker-bake.hcl, config is very minimal. One step in your GitHub Action workflow file will build all of your images and will push all of your cache layers, tag all of your containers, and push all your final images. You’ll still have to do things like checkout the code and don’t forget that you’ll want to use the docker/setup-buildx-action since bake is a buildx feature. There’s one quick gotcha for the actual docker/bake-action. We don’t want to push PR builds and we don’t want to pollute the cache with PR builds.

  Generate effective cache parameters for docker/build-push-action in GitHub Actions

The way we set cache-to to an empty string is inspired by int128/docker-build-cache-config-action. The wildcard sets the cache-to property for all targets.
