## About

GitHub Action to set up Docker [Buildx](https://github.com/docker/buildx).

This action will create and boot a builder that can be used in the following
steps of your workflow if you're using Buildx or the [`build-push` action](https://github.com/docker/build-push-action/).
By default, the [`docker-container` driver](https://docs.docker.com/build/building/drivers/docker-container/)
will be used to be able to build multi-platform images and export cache using
a [BuildKit](https://github.com/moby/buildkit) container.

## Usage

```yaml
name: ci

on:
push:

jobs:
buildx:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
-
name: Checkout
uses: actions/checkout@v4
-
# Add support for more platforms with QEMU (optional)
# https://github.com/docker/setup-qemu-action
name: Set up QEMU
uses: docker/setup-qemu-action@v3
-
name: Set up Docker Buildx
uses: docker/setup-buildx-action@v3
```

## Configuring your builder

* [Version pinning](https://docs.docker.com/build/ci/github-actions/configure-builder/#version-pinning): Pin to a specific Buildx or BuildKit version
* [BuildKit container logs](https://docs.docker.com/build/ci/github-actions/configure-builder/#buildkit-container-logs): Enable BuildKit container logs for debugging purposes
* [BuildKit Daemon configuration](https://docs.docker.com/build/ci/github-actions/configure-builder/#buildkit-daemon-configuration)
* [Registry mirror](https://docs.docker.com/build/ci/github-actions/configure-builder/#registry-mirror): Configure a registry mirror for your builds
* [Max parallelism](https://docs.docker.com/build/ci/github-actions/configure-builder/#max-parallelism): Configure the maximum parallelism for your builds
* [Append additional nodes to the builder](https://docs.docker.com/build/ci/github-actions/configure-builder/#append-additional-nodes-to-the-builder): Create additional nodes for your builder
* [Authentication for remote builders](https://docs.docker.com/build/ci/github-actions/configure-builder/#authentication-for-remote-builders)
* [SSH authentication](https://docs.docker.com/build/ci/github-actions/configure-builder/#ssh-authentication): Authenticate to a remote builder using SSH
* [TLS authentication](https://docs.docker.com/build/ci/github-actions/configure-builder/#tls-authentication): Authenticate to a remote builder using TLS
* [Standalone mode](https://docs.docker.com/build/ci/github-actions/configure-builder/#standalone-mode): Use Buildx as a standalone binary (without the Docker CLI)
* [Isolated builders](https://docs.docker.com/build/ci/github-actions/configure-builder/#isolated-builders): Create isolated builders for your builds

## Customizing

### inputs

The following inputs can be used as `step.with` keys:

> `List` type is a newline-delimited string
> ```yaml
> driver-opts: |
> image=moby/buildkit:master
> network=host
> ```

> `CSV` type must be a comma-delimited string
> ```yaml
> platforms: linux/amd64,linux/arm64
> ```

| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|------------------------------|----------|--------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `version` | String | | [Buildx](https://github.com/docker/buildx) version. (eg. `v0.3.0`, `latest`, `https://github.com/docker/buildx.git#master`) |
| `driver` | String | `docker-container` | Sets the [builder driver](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/buildx_create/#driver) to be used |
| `driver-opts` | List | | List of additional [driver-specific options](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/buildx_create/#driver-opt) (eg. `image=moby/buildkit:master`) |
| `buildkitd-flags` | String | | [BuildKit daemon flags](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/buildx_create/#buildkitd-flags) |
| `buildkitd-config` \* | String | | [BuildKit daemon config file](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/buildx_create/#config) |
| `buildkitd-config-inline` \* | String | | Same as `buildkitd-config` but inline |
| `install` | Bool | `false` | Sets up `docker build` command as an alias to `docker buildx` |
| `use` | Bool | `true` | Switch to this builder instance |
| `endpoint` | String | | [Optional address for docker socket](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/buildx_create/#description) or context from `docker context ls` |
| `platforms` | List/CSV | | Fixed [platforms](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/buildx_create/#platform) for current node. If not empty, values take priority over the detected ones. |
| `append` | YAML | | [Append additional nodes](https://docs.docker.com/build/ci/github-actions/configure-builder/#append-additional-nodes-to-the-builder) to the builder |
| `cache-binary` | Bool | `true` | Cache buildx binary to GitHub Actions cache backend |
| `cleanup` | Bool | `true` | Cleanup temp files and remove builder at the end of a job |

> [!IMPORTANT]
> If you set the `buildkitd-flags` input, the default flags (`--allow-insecure-entitlement security.insecure --allow-insecure-entitlement network.host`)
> will be reset. If you want to retain the default behavior, make sure to
> include these flags in your custom `buildkitd-flags` value.

> [!NOTE]
> `buildkitd-config` and `buildkitd-config-inline` are mutually exclusive.

### outputs

The following outputs are available:

| Name | Type | Description |

| `name` | String | Builder name |
| `driver` | String | Builder driver |
| `platforms` | String | Builder node platforms (preferred and/or available) |
| `nodes` | JSON | Builder [nodes metadata](#nodes-output) |

### environment variables
