Let's say in case i dont want to install docker, containerd and nerdctl in my machine and after installing only buildkit in my machine, dagger can run on top of it?

Or what could be the best possible way to save resources like
Just install dagger in machine and let dagger manage buildkit by itself when required by dagger.
Is it correct?

no, it's unlikely you'll be able to run dagger directly on top of vanilla buildkit

So basically we will always be required containered and nerdctl, right?

potentially the one binary setup will prevent needing to set those up

#

but it won't be possible to connect dagger to an already set up buildkit instance
