Kubernetes manifests for BuildKit

This directory contains Kubernetes manifests for Pod, Deployment (with Service), StatefulSet, and Job.

  • Pod: good for quick-start
  • Deployment + Service: good for random load balancing with registry-side cache
  • StateFulset: good for client-side load balancing, without registry-side cache
  • Job: good if you don't want to have daemon pods

Using Rootless mode (*.rootless.yaml) is recommended because Rootless mode image is executed as non-root user (UID 1000) and doesn't need securityContext.privileged. See ../../docs/rootless.md.

See also "Building Images Efficiently And Securely On Kubernetes With BuildKit" (KubeCon EU 2019).

Pod

$ kubectl apply -f pod.rootless.yaml
$ buildctl \
  --addr kube-pod://buildkitd \
  build --frontend dockerfile.v0 --local context=/path/to/dir --local dockerfile=/path/to/dir

If rootless mode doesn't work, try pod.privileged.yaml.

⚠️ kube-pod:// connection helper requires Kubernetes role that can access pods/exec resources. If pods/exec is not accessible, use Service instead (See below).

Deployment + Service

Setting up mTLS is highly recommended.

./create-certs.sh SAN [SAN...] can be used for creating certificates.

$ ./create-certs.sh 127.0.0.1

The daemon certificates is created as Secret manifest named buildkit-daemon-certs.

$ kubectl apply -f .certs/buildkit-daemon-certs.yaml

Apply the Deployment and Service manifest:

$ kubectl apply -f deployment+service.rootless.yaml
$ kubectl scale --replicas=10 deployment/buildkitd

Run buildctl with TLS client certificates:

$ kubectl port-forward service/buildkitd 1234
$ buildctl \
  --addr tcp://127.0.0.1:1234 \
  --tlscacert .certs/client/ca.pem \
  --tlscert .certs/client/cert.pem \
  --tlskey .certs/client/key.pem \
  build --frontend dockerfile.v0 --local context=/path/to/dir --local dockerfile=/path/to/dir

StatefulSet

StatefulSet is useful for consistent hash mode.

$ kubectl apply -f statefulset.rootless.yaml
$ kubectl scale --replicas=10 statefulset/buildkitd
$ buildctl \
  --addr kube-pod://buildkitd-4 \
  build --frontend dockerfile.v0 --local context=/path/to/dir --local dockerfile=/path/to/dir

See ./consistenthash for how to use consistent hashing.

Job

$ kubectl apply -f job.rootless.yaml

To push the image to the registry, you also need to mount ~/.docker/config.json and set $DOCKER_CONFIG to /path/to/.docker directory.
