Is it possible to use BuildKit with Testcontainers in .net ?

[osa0805]

When trying to build image from dockerfile using Testcontainers there is an error of "the * option requires BuildKit.".
Is it possible to use BuildKit somehow ?

No. BuildKit is not part of the Docker Engine API.

How it correlates with "BuildKit is an improved backend to replace the legacy builder. BuildKit is the default builder for users on Docker Desktop, and Docker Engine as of version 23.0."
https://docs.docker.com/build/buildkit/

Can you elaborate more please?

[HofmeisterAn]

There is not much documentation available. It was not supported in the past. Maybe Docker added support recently (docker/for-linux#1136 (comment)), but I'm not sure. If it was added, we likely need to update https://github.com/dotnet/Docker.DotNet first.

So it is possible that you will create some Task/Issue to check it ? :)

@kiview do you have more info on this? If it is already (now) supported, just give me a heads-up. Then we can turn this into an issue and maybe try to support/implement it someday.
