linuxkit-server provides simple HTTP API, where you can POST the linuxkit yaml definition and it will respond with tar file which contains the build output files.
POST /linuxkit/{name}/build/{format}
Create new build with {name} and create {format} output. See linuxkit documentation for all format options
Here's simple example, download minimal.yml from linuxkit repository, post it to linuxkit-server for building and untar the result to current directory.
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/linuxkit/linuxkit/master/examples/minimal.yml \
| curl --fail -X POST --data-binary @- http://localhost:8000/linuxkit/example/build/kernel+initrd \
| tar xvz
