Build dependencies are generated when your image has been built. These
dependencies include versions of used images, git repositories and HTTP URLs
used by LLB Source operation as well as build request attributes.
The structure is base64 encoded and has the following format when decoded:
{
"frontend": "dockerfile.v0",
"attrs": {
"build-arg:foo": "bar",
"context": "https://github.com/crazy-max/buildkit-buildsources-test.git#master",
"filename": "Dockerfile",
"platform": "linux/amd64,linux/arm64",
"source": "crazymax/dockerfile:master"
},
"sources": [
{
"type": "docker-image",
"ref": "docker.io/docker/buildx-bin:0.6.1@sha256:a652ced4a4141977c7daaed0a074dcd9844a78d7d2615465b12f433ae6dd29f0",
"pin": "sha256:a652ced4a4141977c7daaed0a074dcd9844a78d7d2615465b12f433ae6dd29f0"
},
{
"type": "docker-image",
"ref": "docker.io/library/alpine:3.13",

}frontenddefines the frontend used to build.attrsdefines build request attributes.sourcesdefines build sources.typedefines the source type (docker-image,gitorhttp).refis the reference of the source.pinis the source digest.
depsdefines build dependencies of input contexts.
A new field similar to the one for inline cache has been added to the image configuration to embed build dependencies:
{
"moby.buildkit.buildinfo.v0": "<base64>"
}By default, the build dependencies are inlined in the image configuration. You
can disable this behavior with the buildinfo attribute.
The solver response (ExporterResponse) also contains a new key
containerimage.buildinfo with the same structure as image config encoded in
base64:
{
"ExporterResponse": {
"containerimage.buildinfo": "<base64>",
"containerimage.digest": "sha256:..."
}
}If multi-platforms are specified, they will be suffixed with the corresponding platform:
{
"ExporterResponse": {
"containerimage.buildinfo/linux/amd64": "<base64>",
"containerimage.buildinfo/linux/arm64": "<base64>",
"containerimage.digest": "sha256:..."
}
}If you're using the --metadata-file flag with buildctl,
buildx build
or buildx bake:
jq '.' metadata.json{
"containerimage.buildinfo": {
"frontend": "dockerfile.v0",
"attrs": {
