Version : 0.12.1
Upstream Author : Docker

Programming Lang: Go
Description : Docker CLI plugin for extended build capabilities with
BuildKit


This package is necessary to run "docker buildx".

Ubuntu has got a debian package for docker-buildx.
https://github.com/canonical/docker-buildx
https://packages.ubuntu.com/source/mantic/arm64/docker-buildx


AFAIK the only way to use buildkit is to specify the DOCKER_BUILDKIT
environment variable or use buildx.
Some tools such as VSCode only use buildkit if buildx is available on the
command line (https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues/1409
).
I require VSCode to use buildkit for my tool "debpic" (
https://github.com/aidan-gallagher/debpic) which allows developers to
develop debian packages in a container.

I think this could be maintained by the same team that packages docker.

Kind regards,
Aidan
