dagger does this, at the expense of increased complexity.

I tried out Dagger hoping to tidy up some of our CI pipelines. I really wasn’t impressed to be honest. I initially just wanted to build a basic Docker image using BuildKit and even that was nightmare that the Dagger guys basically told me just isn’t supported.

  • When was this; dagger runs on top of buildkit?

    • Very recently. It may run on BuildKit but it doesn't expose it as a build runtime. IIRC Dagger implements its own way of building images that lacks BuildKit features and doesn't work with Dockerfiles.
