Thanks for filing a feature request.
Pants is entirely volunteer driven. Are you interested in contributing to extend the existing docker backend to support this?
If so, we can definitely try to provide guidance/mentorship!
Pants can currently build docker images in parallel if multiple docker target are specified (ex pants package :docker0 :docker1
or pants package ::
)
docker buildx bake
looks to be a serialisation of the arguments to the docker build
. In that way it and Pants are performing the same tasks. One approach would be to use a Synthetic target generator to parse the bake file and generate docker_image
targets from it. We'd want to tag them somehow as coming from a Bake file so we could invoke the correct build command. There's already (experimental) support for using podman and separately for using buildx, I wonder if it would make sense to broaden that support for docker buildx bake
as well.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. We would like to use https://docs.docker.com/build/bake/ to make our docker build process more efficient. At the moment we are using pants+docker as described here: https://www.pantsbuild.org/blog/2021/10/13/pants-pex-and-docker
Describe the solution you'd like We would like pants to support docker bake, or alternative solution to parallelize builds + caching
Describe alternatives you've considered Alternative is not to use pants.
