docker buildx inspect (original) (raw)

Shows information about the current or specified builder.

Ensure that the builder is running before inspecting (--bootstrap)

Use the --bootstrap option to ensure that the builder is running before inspecting it. If the driver is docker-container, then --bootstrap starts the BuildKit container and waits until it's operational. Bootstrapping is automatically done during build, and therefore not necessary. The same BuildKit container is used during the lifetime of the associated builder node (as displayed in buildx ls).

Override the configured builder instance (--builder)

Same asbuildx --builder.
