Run Docker in a Fly.io VM.
This helps run docker build... on AMD64 instances, especially useful when you're hacking on this project from an ARM-based infrastructure or a machine that runs on a battery.
A lot of this is based on this repository.
Creating a builder for use like this can be done using Fly Machines.
Here are the steps:
# Create an app to house the VM that will run Docker
fly apps create --machines --name laravel-docker-builder
# Create a volume
fly volumes create -r dfw -a laravel-docker-builder -s 50 laravel_docker
# From this directory, which contains a Dockerfile
fly m run . -r dfw -v laravel_docker:/data -a laravel-docker-builderOnce you setup Wireguard with Fly, you can activate the VPN and run Docker builds remotely by setting DOCKER_HOST:
# Get the IP Address of the VM we created
fly m list -a laravel-docker-builder
# Use that as your DOCKER_HOST
DOCKER_HOST=tcp:https://[fdaa:0:6ba9:a7b:97:142d:77ac:2]:2375 docker ps
