Docker builds are broken if buildkit is used (DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1)

Environments Xenial
1

After the upgrade https://changelog.travis-ci.com/xenial-build-environment-updates-95336
all docker builds stopped working at once, as we have to use buildkit to passthrough the ssh-agent.

How to reproduce:

  1. Create the Dockerfile
# syntax=docker/dockerfile:1.0.0-experimental
FROM node:8-alpine
  1. Try to build it with DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker build -t test .
  2. Get a very subtle error

Solution: Removing the gcr.io from mirrors helps. Just do echo "{}" > /etc/docker/daemon.json.

@ekini I also ran into this problem, and edit /etc/docker/daemon.json is forbidden by travisCI, do you have any workaround now?

@youyongsong I don’t think it’s forbidden. Just use sudo and it should work.

I have tried sudo, it’s still forbidden to edit or cat. I’m now using buildkit daemon + buildctl in travis:

before_install:
  - sudo docker run -d --privileged -p 1234:1234 --name buildkit moby/buildkit:latest --addr tcp://0.0.0.0:1234
  - sudo docker cp buildkit:/usr/bin/buildctl /usr/bin/
  - export BUILDKIT_HOST=tcp://0.0.0.0:1234

jobs:
  include:
  - stage: "test and build"
    script:
    - buildctl build --frontend dockerfile.v0 --local context=. --local dockerfile=. --opt target=ci
