This directory contains Docker configuration for building Aptos docker images.

To build these images run this from the repository root:

docker buildx create --use # creates a buildkit builder and only needs to be run once
docker/docker-bake-rust-all.sh

For using the images, look in the compose directory.

The builder target is the one that builds the rust binaries and is the most expensive. Its output is used by all the other targets that follow.

The builder itself takes in a few build arguments. Most are build metadata, such as GIT_SHA and GIT_BRANCH, but others change the build entirely, such as cargo flags PROFILE and FEATURES. Arguments like these necessitate a different cache to prevent clobbering. The general strategy is to use image tags and cache keys that use these variables. An example image tag might be:

• performance_failpoints_<GIT_SHA> -- performance profile with failpoints feature
• <GIT_SHA> -- default release profile with no additional features

Image releasing is done automatically using corresponding github workflow jobs or manually using the docker/release-images.mjs script.
