Enable caching
BuildKit supports cache backends. On GitHub Actions, type=gha is a common choice.
Example using docker/bake-action to set cache options on the generated _common target:
- name: Docker build and test
uses: docker/bake-action@v6
with:
files: .buildcharts/docker-bake.hcl
set: |
_common.cache-from=type=gha,scope=buildcharts
_common.cache-to=type=gha,scope=buildcharts,mode=max
env:
VERSION: ${{ github.ref_name }}
COMMIT: ${{ github.sha }}
Add build summary
The buildcharts/summary-action reads Docker Buildx history, parses the logs, and generates a summary.
- name: Build summary
uses: buildcharts/summary-action@v1
