About

GitHub Action to set up Docker Buildx.

This action will create and boot a builder that can be used in the following steps of your workflow if you're using Buildx or the build-push action. By default, the docker-container driver will be used to be able to build multi-platform images and export cache using a BuildKit container.

buildkitd-config-inline * String Same as buildkitd-config but inline
install Bool false Sets up docker build command as an alias to docker buildx
use Bool true Switch to this builder instance
endpoint String Optional address for docker socket or context from docker context ls
