Does this action officially support BuildKit?

[inductor]

I assume it supports BuildKit by using ENV like you do in your GitHub Actions YAML

github-actions/.github/workflows/main.yml

Line 27 in 826b584

DOCKER_BUILDKIT: 1

Based on this I can see this builder is based on the Docker builder but there's no documentation for it.

Yes, we do support BuildKit. We are looking to support the buildx extensions as well.

@justincormack @zappy-shu I have created an action to setup buildx if you want to take a look. And here is a workflow example.

I have a related ticket about action/cache with the BuildKit cache mount at actions/cache#260

I understand BuildKit is ubiquitous to some, but it was not clear to us that GitHub Actions supported it today such that we lost some time.

Could this be documented better somehow? Here maybe?

Specifically we were wanting to use the build secrets but that was not easy and we gave up 😄

Hey @jonpulsifer, did you ever figure this out?

Thanks for any info.

This action is now deprecated. Please take a look at the upgrade notes to move to the build-push action.
