Custom `BUILDKIT_HOST` no more supported ? | Dagger | Page 1

Naive question : dagger doesn't support using BUILDKIT_HOST anymore ? It used to work in previous version, it doesn't seem to be the case anymore. What would be the alternative ?

Have you tried it in that way?
_EXPERIMENTAL_DAGGER_RUNNER_HOST=docker-container://buildkit-dagger

I used that to connect to our internal artifactory.

oh.. 😄

#

(intersting, with podman-container it.. is stuck 🙃 )

#

Ok. We don't use podman.

#

Yeah, I'll have to dig into why it fails, but thanks for the env var, that's what I was looking for

#

I wonder if it's an artifact from "old days" and using podman-container is not supported in that env var

See the following for using a custom runner: https://github.com/dagger/dagger/blob/main/core/docs/d7yxc-operator_manual.md#what-are-the-steps-for-using-a-custom-runner

oh I realize my mistake now 😅

#

thanks @verbal yarrow, a typo 😬

Note that we don’t support external buildkitd anymore.

#

all goes through the engine image now if I understood correctly

crisp swift Aug 3, 2023, 2:55 PM

#

yes correct

#

so it still work in "custom" setup (with podman & co), just not directly on a buildkit socket that wouldn't be managed by the engine

#

👍

#

make sense 🙂
