Hi! Any built in support for docker’s cloud builder? E.g. I can do

docker buildx build <https://github.com/dockersamples/buildme.git> --builder cloud-integrateai-integrateai

and it will use their remote build feature https://build.docker.com/ as a stopgap I was trying to see if it can use it globally, e.g.

docker buildx use cloud-integrateai-integrateai --global

But this doesn’t seem picked up by pants. Note this seems to modify the

buildx

config

$ cat ~/.docker/buildx/current 
{"Key":"unix:///var/run/docker.sock","Name":"cloud-integrateai-integrateai","Global":true}

Sorry for the trouble. Could you share your

pants.toml

particularly any docker sections? Related to that, have you set the

use_buildx

option?

I missed that! it’s working now, as long as i set global flag.

Can you show a use case? I am wondering how the build cloud would have access to PEX files for example built by pants, which are part of a Dockerfile.

So, depot.dev requires a bunch of shimming to make it work, it ended up being a bit too much. docker cloud is more promising since it works with minimal changes (but i’ve only been using it for a few days)

@wonderful-boots-93625 Were you able to use depot.dev at all with pants? If so, could you share the details of the shimming? Wondering if using https://depot.dev/docs/guides/docker-build#how-to-use-depot-with-docker is not all one needs?!

So I had to do a bunch of things, it got a bit complicated. Then docker released this - and it basically works out of the box and so there’s not much need to use depot.dev. Is there a reason you want to use depot.dev instead? some discussion here: https://pantsbuild.slack.com/archives/C046T6T9U/p1680209250680309 - I’ll paste my shim there when I get a chance.

Been thinking about trying the GHA runners from depot.dev as well and that would be a good fit doing both things there

Yea thats another option - to do the docker build outside pants, and just have pants prepare artifacts
