Yes that would be neat. We plan on doing this eventually. At the moment there are limitations to what you can do from a buildkit frontend, that make it difficult. But we are hopeful that these will be fixed upstream in the future.

Here’s an example of building a dockerfile using the Go SDK: https://pkg.go.dev/dagger.io/dagger#example-Container.Build
