I would love to see more development in this space. I'm aware of tools like bazel, nix, and jib (I feel like I've seen an equivalent to jib for Go) that can build Docker images "outside" Docker/BuildKit. I believe

It is! At least in terms of raw minute pricing, though Depot builds are often faster than Actions, around 2-5x for Intel builds and closer to 10x faster for Arm builds, which affects the comparison a bit. Our biggest cost at the moment is p

Not currently - Depot runs BuildKit ( https://github.com/moby/buildkit ) on our builders, and it does not support Windows containers to my knowledge.

by jacobwg 4y ago
Possibly? I'm less familiar with building iOS applications, but Depot is providing a native Linux amd64 builder VM, so if you're able to build an iOS app in that environment, it should just work.

Hey, so a Depot "project" represents the two VMs / SSDs for building each architecture + access control in the form of project-scoped API tokens. But there's nothing preventing you from building all your small services u

It should be just as as straightforward with Depot as well - we have a depot/build-push-action ( https://github.com/depot/build-push-action ) that accepts the same inputs as docker/build-push-action to make it

Nice, yeah we had one customer using Cloud Build, and in their case their native amd64 builds dropped from around 12 minutes to 1-2 minutes on Depot builders. Surprisingly to us, it was even faster to push from Depot to Artifact Registry th

Yeah Nixpacks is super cool! It uses nix and BuildKit to produce images for various different languages, and since it uses BuildKit under the hood, it might be able to use Depot's BuildKit to perform the actual build. I'd love to

It's basically the same, just without you having to do any of the work to set up or maintain the remote machines. When you start a container build with Depot, it will launch an Intel or an Arm VM running BuildKit (or both for a multi-p

I think we are trying to take on GitHub Actions' compute side yeah — you'd want to either self-host your own BuildKit or use something like Depot for two major reasons: 1. Several of BuildKit's caching features either require

I haven't had a chance to experiment with it yet, but it should be possible to run Dagger pipelines on Depot builders. Depot is effectively a BuildKit-API-as-a-service currently, and Dagger can connect to an external BuildKit host ( ht
132.

Yep, so Depot runs BuildKit, so the same workflows work there, just with a remote builder. You can do one of three things: 1. Just build the image — in CI that would test that the image built successfully, and the build cache would be ready
133.

Thanks! We have a few users using docker-compose with a Makefile, where they run `depot build -t name:tag --load` to tag and pull the image locally, and then they reference the tag in their docker-compose.yml. That works, but we've con

Not defending the article, I've flagged the submission as it's several articles away from the original source, which itself may be inaccurate. But 19°C is 66.2°F, not -7°F.

I can see that. For me, I’m not familiar with that phrase as an idiom, I’ve not encountered it before. It’s likely landing differently than for someone who experiences it as a common expression.

Not really trying to cancel the author here, it's just an interesting comparison to make. It feels like either the author is trying to invoke the murder of villages during the Vietnam War as a way of lending weight to their argument ab

I've been working on Depot ( https://depot.dev ) specifically for this reason: it's a hosted Docker builder service that runs BuildKit on managed VMs. When it receives incoming build requests, it routes them to a VM runn

Flags come from users submitting them (after a certain level of karma you can flag posts). There won’t be a canonical “why” since it’s essentially whatever the community considers flag-worthy.
