Speeding Up Docker Builds with Remote Cache

• buildkit

  53 7,655 9.8 Go

  concurrent, cache-efficient, and Dockerfile-agnostic builder toolkit

  

The use of BuildKit as part of Docker is convenient, but it hides some features and options. So, in case you want more control over the build and caching, then you can directly use the upstream BuildKit project. To do so, you will need to download binaries from GitHub release page, unpack it and move it into your path (e.g. /usr/local/bin/). Finally, you need to start the BuildKit daemon and then you're ready to build:

• buildah

  25 6,986 9.6 Go

  A tool that facilitates building OCI images.

  

Besides Kaniko, there are quite a few other tools that can build a container image. The most notable one is podman, which leverages buildah to build images. Using these 2 for caching however, is not an option right now. The --cache-from option is available in buildah, it is however NOOP, so even if you specify it, nothing will happen. So, if you want to migrate your CI from Docker to Buildah and the caching is a requirement, then you will need to wait for this issue to be implemented/resolved.
