## High-level build options
Buildx also aims to provide support for high-level build concepts that go beyond
invoking a single build command. We want to support building all the images in
your application together and let the users define project specific reusable
build flows that can then be easily invoked by anyone.
BuildKit efficiently handles multiple concurrent build requests and
de-duplicating work. The build commands can be combined with general-purpose
command runners (for example, `make`). However, these tools generally invoke
builds in sequence and therefore cannot leverage the full potential of BuildKit
parallelization, or combine BuildKits output for the user. For this use case,
we have added a command called [`docker buildx bake`](docs/reference/buildx_bake.md).
The `bake` command supports building images from compose files, similar to
[`docker-compose build`](https://docs.docker.com/compose/reference/build/),
but allowing all the services to be built concurrently as part of a single
request.
There is also support for custom build rules from HCL/JSON files allowing
better code reuse and different target groups. The design of bake is in very
early stages and we are looking for feedback from users.
See [`docs/guides/bake/index.md`](docs/guides/bake/index.md) for more details.

title: "Defining additional build contexts and linking targets"
keywords: build, buildx, bake, buildkit, hcl
---
In addition to the main `context` key that defines the build context each target
can also define additional named contexts with a map defined with key `contexts`.
These values map to the `--build-context` flag in the [build command](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/buildx_build/#build-context).
Inside the Dockerfile these contexts can be used with the `FROM` instruction or `--from` flag.
The value can be a local source directory, container image (with `docker-image://` prefix),
Git URL, HTTP URL or a name of another target in the Bake file (with `target:` prefix).
## Pinning alpine image
```dockerfile
# syntax=docker/dockerfile:1
FROM alpine
RUN echo "Hello world"
```
```hcl
# docker-bake.hcl
target "app" {
contexts = {
alpine = "docker-image://alpine:3.13"
}
}
```
## Using a secondary source directory
```dockerfile
# syntax=docker/dockerfile:1
FROM scratch AS src
FROM golang
COPY --from=src . .
```
```hcl
# docker-bake.hcl
target "app" {
contexts = {
src = "../path/to/source"
}
}
```
## Using a result of one target as a base image in another target
To use a result of one target as a build context of another, specity the target
name with `target:` prefix.
```dockerfile
# syntax=docker/dockerfile:1
FROM baseapp
RUN echo "Hello world"
```
```hcl
# docker-bake.hcl
target "base" {
dockerfile = "baseapp.Dockerfile"
}
target "app" {
contexts = {
baseapp = "target:base"
}
}
```
Please note that in most cases you should just use a single multi-stage
Dockerfile with multiple targets for similar behavior. This case is recommended
when you have multiple Dockerfiles that can't be easily merged into one.

[Special extension](https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/#extension)
field `x-bake` can be used in your compose file to evaluate fields that are not
(yet) available in the [build definition](https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/build/#build-definition).

title: "Bake file definition"
keywords: build, buildx, bake, buildkit, hcl, json, compose
---
`buildx bake` supports HCL, JSON and Compose file format for defining build
groups and targets. It looks for build definition files in the current
directory in the following order:
* `docker-compose.yml`
* `docker-compose.yaml`
* `docker-bake.json`
* `docker-bake.override.json`
* `docker-bake.hcl`
* `docker-bake.override.hcl`
A target reflects a single docker build invocation with the same options that
you would specify for `docker build`. A group is a grouping of targets.
Multiple files can include the same target and final build options will be
determined by merging them together.
> **Note**
>
> In the case of compose files, each service corresponds to a target.
A group can specify its list of targets with the `targets` option. A target can
inherit build options by setting the `inherits` option to the list of targets or
groups to inherit from.
## HCL definition
HCL definition file is recommended as its experience is more aligned with buildx UX
and also allows better code reuse, different target groups and extended features.
```hcl
# docker-bake.hcl
variable "TAG" {
default = "latest"
}
group "default" {
targets = ["db", "webapp-dev"]
}
target "webapp-dev" {
dockerfile = "Dockerfile.webapp"
tags = ["docker.io/username/webapp:${TAG}"]
}
target "webapp-release" {
inherits = ["webapp-dev"]
platforms = ["linux/amd64", "linux/arm64"]
}
target "db" {
dockerfile = "Dockerfile.db"
tags = ["docker.io/username/db"]
}
```
Complete list of valid target fields:
* `args`
* `cache-from`
* `cache-to`
* `context`
* `contexts`
* `dockerfile`
* `inherits`
* `labels`
* `no-cache`
* `no-cache-filter`
* `output`
* `platform`
* `pull`
* `secrets`
* `ssh`
* `tags`
* `target`
## JSON definition
```json
{
"variable": {
"TAG": {
"default": "latest"
}
},
"group": {
"default": {
"targets": [
"db",
"webapp-dev"
]
}
},
"target": {
"webapp-dev": {
"dockerfile": "Dockerfile.webapp",
"tags": [
"docker.io/username/webapp:${TAG}"
]
},
"webapp-release": {
"inherits": [
"webapp-dev"
],
"platforms": [

"linux/arm64"
]
},
"db": {
"dockerfile": "Dockerfile.db",
"tags": [
"docker.io/username/db"
]
}
}
}
```
Same list of target fields as [HCL definition](#hcl-definition) are available.
## Compose file
```yaml
# docker-compose.yml
services:
webapp-dev: &dev
build:
dockerfile: Dockerfile.webapp
tags:
- docker.io/username/webapp:latest
webapp-release:
<<: *dev
build:
x-bake:
platforms:
- linux/amd64
- linux/arm64
db:
image: docker.io/username/db
build:
dockerfile: Dockerfile.db
```
> **Limitations**
>
> Bake uses the [compose-spec](https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/) to
> parse a compose file. Some fields are not (yet) available, but you can use
> the [special extension field `x-bake`](compose-xbake.md).
>
> `inherits` service field is also not supported. Use [YAML anchors](https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/#fragments)
> to reference other services.
>
> Specifying variables or global scope attributes is not yet supported for
> compose files.

## Remote definition
You can also use a remote `git` bake definition:
```console
$ docker buildx bake "https://github.com/docker/cli.git#v20.10.11" --print
#1 [internal] load git source https://github.com/docker/cli.git#v20.10.11
#1 0.745 e8f1871b077b64bcb4a13334b7146492773769f7 refs/tags/v20.10.11
#1 2.022 From https://github.com/docker/cli

#1 DONE 2.9s
{
"group": {
"default": {
"targets": [
"binary"
]
}
},
"target": {
"binary": {
"context": "https://github.com/docker/cli.git#v20.10.11",
"dockerfile": "Dockerfile",
"args": {
"BASE_VARIANT": "alpine",
"GO_STRIP": "",
"VERSION": ""
},
"target": "binary",
"platforms": [
"local"
],
"output": [
"build"
]
}
}
}
```
As you can see the context is fixed to `https://github.com/docker/cli.git` even if
[no context is actually defined](https://github.com/docker/cli/blob/2776a6d694f988c0c1df61cad4bfac0f54e481c8/docker-bake.hcl#L17-L26)
in the definition.
If you want to access the main context for bake command from a bake file
that has been imported remotely, you can use the [`BAKE_CMD_CONTEXT` built-in var](hcl-vars-funcs.md#built-in-variables).
```console
$ cat https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tonistiigi/buildx/remote-test/docker-bake.hcl
```
```hcl
target "default" {
context = BAKE_CMD_CONTEXT
dockerfile-inline = <<EOT
FROM alpine
WORKDIR /src
COPY . .
RUN ls -l && stop
EOT
}
```
```console
$ docker buildx bake "https://github.com/tonistiigi/buildx.git#remote-test" --print
```
```json
{
"target": {
"default": {
"context": ".",
"dockerfile": "Dockerfile",
"dockerfile-inline": "FROM alpine\nWORKDIR /src\nCOPY . .\nRUN ls -l \u0026\u0026 stop\n"
}
}
}
```
```console
$ touch foo bar
$ docker buildx bake "https://github.com/tonistiigi/buildx.git#remote-test"
...

```
## Global scope attributes
You can define global scope attributes in HCL/JSON and use them for code reuse
and setting values for variables. This means you can do a "data-only" HCL file
with the values you want to set/override and use it in the list of regular
output files.
```hcl
# docker-bake.hcl
variable "FOO" {
default = "abc"
}
target "app" {
args = {
v1 = "pre-${FOO}"
}
}
```
You can use this file directly:
```console
$ docker buildx bake --print app
```
```json
{
"group": {
"default": {
"targets": [
"app"
]
}
},
"target": {
"app": {
"context": ".",
"dockerfile": "Dockerfile",
"args": {
"v1": "pre-abc"
}
}
}
}
```
Or create an override configuration file:
```hcl
# env.hcl
WHOAMI="myuser"
FOO="def-${WHOAMI}"
```
And invoke bake together with both of the files:
```console
$ docker buildx bake -f docker-bake.hcl -f env.hcl --print app
```
```json
{
"group": {
"default": {
"targets": [
"app"
]
}
},
"target": {
"app": {
"context": ".",
"dockerfile": "Dockerfile",
"args": {
"v1": "pre-def-myuser"
}
}
}
}
```

keywords: build, buildx, bake, buildkit, hcl
---
Similar to how Terraform provides a way to [define variables](https://www.terraform.io/docs/configuration/variables.html#declaring-an-input-variable),
the HCL file format also supports variable block definitions. These can be used
to define variables with values provided by the current environment, or a
default value when unset.
A [set of generally useful functions](https://github.com/docker/buildx/blob/master/bake/hclparser/stdlib.go)
provided by [go-cty](https://github.com/zclconf/go-cty/tree/main/cty/function/stdlib)
are available for use in HCL files. In addition, [user defined functions](https://github.com/hashicorp/hcl/tree/main/ext/userfunc)
are also supported.
## Using interpolation to tag an image with the git sha
Bake supports variable blocks which are assigned to matching environment
variables or default values.
```hcl
# docker-bake.hcl
variable "TAG" {
default = "latest"
}
group "default" {
targets = ["webapp"]
}
target "webapp" {
tags = ["docker.io/username/webapp:${TAG}"]
}
```
alternatively, in json format:
```json
{
"variable": {
"TAG": {
"default": "latest"
}
},
"group": {
"default": {
"targets": ["webapp"]
}
},
"target": {
"webapp": {
"tags": ["docker.io/username/webapp:${TAG}"]
}
}
}
```
```console
$ docker buildx bake --print webapp
```
```json
{
"group": {
"default": {
"targets": [
"webapp"
]
}
},
"target": {
"webapp": {
"context": ".",
"dockerfile": "Dockerfile",
"tags": [
"docker.io/username/webapp:latest"
]
}
}
}
```
```console
$ TAG=$(git rev-parse --short HEAD) docker buildx bake --print webapp
```
```json
{
"group": {
"default": {
"targets": [
"webapp"
]
}
},
"target": {
"webapp": {
"context": ".",
"dockerfile": "Dockerfile",
"tags": [
"docker.io/username/webapp:985e9e9"
]
}
}
}
```
## Using the `add` function
You can use [`go-cty` stdlib functions](https://github.com/zclconf/go-cty/tree/main/cty/function/stdlib).
Here we are using the `add` function.
```hcl
# docker-bake.hcl
variable "TAG" {
default = "latest"
}
group "default" {
targets = ["webapp"]
}
target "webapp" {
args = {
buildno = "${add(123, 1)}"
}
}
```
```console
$ docker buildx bake --print webapp
```
```json
{
"group": {
"default": {
"targets": [
"webapp"
]
}
},
"target": {
"webapp": {
"context": ".",
"dockerfile": "Dockerfile",
"args": {
"buildno": "124"
}
}
}
}
```
## Defining an `increment` function
It also supports [user defined functions](https://github.com/hashicorp/hcl/tree/main/ext/userfunc).
The following example defines a simple an `increment` function.
```hcl
# docker-bake.hcl
function "increment" {
params = [number]
result = number + 1
}
group "default" {
targets = ["webapp"]
}
target "webapp" {
args = {
buildno = "${increment(123)}"
}
}
```
```console
$ docker buildx bake --print webapp
```
```json
{
"group": {
"default": {
"targets": [
"webapp"
]
}
},
"target": {
"webapp": {
"context": ".",
"dockerfile": "Dockerfile",
"args": {
"buildno": "124"
}
}
}
}
```
## Only adding tags if a variable is not empty using an `notequal`
Here we are using the conditional `notequal` function which is just for
symmetry with the `equal` one.
```hcl
# docker-bake.hcl
variable "TAG" {default="" }
group "default" {
targets = [
"webapp",
]
}
target "webapp" {
context="."
dockerfile="Dockerfile"
tags = [
"my-image:latest",
notequal("",TAG) ? "my-image:${TAG}": "",
]
}
```
```console
$ docker buildx bake --print webapp
```
```json
{
"group": {
"default": {
"targets": [
"webapp"
]
}
},
"target": {
"webapp": {
"context": ".",
"dockerfile": "Dockerfile",
"tags": [
"my-image:latest"
]
}
}
}
```
## Using variables in functions
You can refer variables to other variables like the target blocks can. Stdlib
functions can also be called but user functions can't at the moment.
```hcl
# docker-bake.hcl
variable "REPO" {
default = "user/repo"
}
function "tag" {
params = [tag]
result = ["${REPO}:${tag}"]
}
target "webapp" {
tags = tag("v1")
}
```
```console
$ docker buildx bake --print webapp
```
```json
{
"group": {
"default": {
"targets": [
"webapp"
]
}
},
"target": {
"webapp": {
"context": ".",
"dockerfile": "Dockerfile",
"tags": [
"user/repo:v1"
]
}
}
}
```
## Using variables in variables across files
When multiple files are specified, one file can use variables defined in
another file.
```hcl
# docker-bake1.hcl
variable "FOO" {
default = upper("${BASE}def")
}
variable "BAR" {
default = "-${FOO}-"
}
target "app" {
args = {
v1 = "pre-${BAR}"
}
}
```
```hcl
# docker-bake2.hcl
variable "BASE" {
default = "abc"
}
target "app" {
args = {
v2 = "${FOO}-post"
}
}
```
```console
$ docker buildx bake -f docker-bake1.hcl -f docker-bake2.hcl --print app
```
```json
{
"group": {
"default": {
"targets": [
"app"
]
}
},
"target": {
"app": {
"context": ".",
"dockerfile": "Dockerfile",
"args": {
"v1": "pre--ABCDEF-",
"v2": "ABCDEF-post"
}
}
}
}
```
## Using typed variables
Non-string variables are also accepted. The value passed with env is parsed
into suitable type first.
```hcl
# docker-bake.hcl
variable "FOO" {
default = 3
}
variable "IS_FOO" {
default = true
}
target "app" {
args = {
v1 = FOO > 5 ? "higher" : "lower"
v2 = IS_FOO ? "yes" : "no"
}
}
```
```console
$ docker buildx bake --print app
```
```json
{
"group": {
"default": {
"targets": [
"app"
]
}
},
"target": {
"app": {
"context": ".",
"dockerfile": "Dockerfile",
"args": {
"v1": "lower",
"v2": "yes"
}
}
}
}
```
## Built-in variables
* `BAKE_CMD_CONTEXT` can be used to access the main `context` for bake command
from a bake file that has been [imported remotely](file-definition.md#remote-definition).
* `BAKE_LOCAL_PLATFORM` returns the current platform's default platform
specification (e.g. `linux/amd64`).

Buildx also aims to provide support for high-level build concepts that go beyond
invoking a single build command. We want to support building all the images in
your application together and let the users define project specific reusable
build flows that can then be easily invoked by anyone.
[BuildKit](https://github.com/moby/buildkit) efficiently handles multiple
concurrent build requests and de-duplicating work. The build commands can be
combined with general-purpose command runners (for example, `make`). However,
these tools generally invoke builds in sequence and therefore cannot leverage
the full potential of BuildKit parallelization, or combine BuildKit's output
for the user. For this use case, we have added a command called
[`docker buildx bake`](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/buildx_bake/).
The `bake` command supports building images from HCL, JSON and Compose files.
This is similar to [`docker compose build`](https://docs.docker.com/compose/reference/build/),
but allowing all the services to be built concurrently as part of a single
request. If multiple files are specified they are all read and configurations are
combined.
We recommend using HCL files as its experience is more aligned with buildx UX
and also allows better code reuse, different target groups and extended features.

### <a name="file"></a> Specify a build definition file (-f, --file)
By default, `buildx bake` looks for build definition files in the current
directory, the following are parsed:
- `docker-compose.yml`
- `docker-compose.yaml`
- `docker-bake.json`
- `docker-bake.override.json`
- `docker-bake.hcl`
- `docker-bake.override.hcl`
Use the `-f` / `--file` option to specify the build definition file to use. The
file can be a Docker Compose, JSON or HCL file. If multiple files are specified
Use the `-f` / `--file` option to specify the build definition file to use.
The file can be an HCL, JSON or Compose file. If multiple files are specified
they are all read and configurations are combined.
The following example uses a Docker Compose file named `docker-compose.dev.yaml`
as build definition file, and builds all targets in the file:
You can pass the names of the targets to build, to build only specific target(s).
The following example builds the `db` and `webapp-release` targets that are
defined in the `docker-bake.dev.hcl` file:
```console
$ docker buildx bake -f docker-compose.dev.yaml
[+] Building 66.3s (30/30) FINISHED
=> [frontend internal] load build definition from Dockerfile 0.1s
=> => transferring dockerfile: 36B 0.0s
=> [backend internal] load build definition from Dockerfile 0.2s
=> => transferring dockerfile: 3.73kB 0.0s
=> [database internal] load build definition from Dockerfile 0.1s
=> => transferring dockerfile: 5.77kB 0.0s
...
```
Pass the names of the targets to build, to build only specific target(s). The
following example builds the `backend` and `database` targets that are defined
in the `docker-compose.dev.yaml` file, skipping the build for the `frontend`
target:
```console
$ docker buildx bake -f docker-compose.dev.yaml backend database
[+] Building 2.4s (13/13) FINISHED
=> [backend internal] load build definition from Dockerfile 0.1s
=> => transferring dockerfile: 81B 0.0s
=> [database internal] load build definition from Dockerfile 0.2s
=> => transferring dockerfile: 36B 0.0s
=> [backend internal] load .dockerignore 0.3s
...
```
You can also use a remote `git` bake definition:

Complete list of overridable fields:
`args`, `cache-from`, `cache-to`, `context`, `dockerfile`, `labels`, `no-cache`,
`output`, `platform`, `pull`, `secrets`, `ssh`, `tags`, `target`
### File definition
In addition to compose files, bake supports a JSON and an equivalent HCL file
format for defining build groups and targets.
A target reflects a single docker build invocation with the same options that
you would specify for `docker build`. A group is a grouping of targets.
Multiple files can include the same target and final build options will be
determined by merging them together.
In the case of compose files, each service corresponds to a target.
A group can specify its list of targets with the `targets` option. A target can
inherit build options by setting the `inherits` option to the list of targets or
groups to inherit from.
Note: Design of bake command is work in progress, the user experience may change
based on feedback.
HCL definition example:
```hcl
group "default" {
targets = ["db", "webapp-dev"]
}
target "webapp-dev" {
dockerfile = "Dockerfile.webapp"
tags = ["docker.io/username/webapp"]
}
target "webapp-release" {
inherits = ["webapp-dev"]
platforms = ["linux/amd64", "linux/arm64"]
}
target "db" {
dockerfile = "Dockerfile.db"
tags = ["docker.io/username/db"]
}
```
Complete list of valid target fields:
`args`, `cache-from`, `cache-to`, `context`, `contexts`, `dockerfile`, `inherits`, `labels`,
`no-cache`, `no-cache-filter`, `output`, `platform`, `pull`, `secrets`, `ssh`, `tags`, `target`
### Global scope attributes
You can define global scope attributes in HCL/JSON and use them for code reuse
and setting values for variables. This means you can do a "data-only" HCL file
with the values you want to set/override and use it in the list of regular
output files.
```hcl
# docker-bake.hcl
variable "FOO" {
default = "abc"
}
target "app" {
args = {
v1 = "pre-${FOO}"
}
}
```
You can use this file directly:
```console
$ docker buildx bake --print app
{
"group": {
"default": {
"targets": [
"app"
]
}
},
"target": {
"app": {
"context": ".",
"dockerfile": "Dockerfile",
"args": {
"v1": "pre-abc"
}
}
}
}
```
Or create an override configuration file:
```hcl
# env.hcl
WHOAMI="myuser"
FOO="def-${WHOAMI}"
```
And invoke bake together with both of the files:
```console
$ docker buildx bake -f docker-bake.hcl -f env.hcl --print app
{
"group": {
"default": {
"targets": [
"app"
]
}
},
"target": {
"app": {
"context": ".",
"dockerfile": "Dockerfile",
"args": {
"v1": "pre-def-myuser"
}
}
}
}
```
### HCL variables and functions
Similar to how Terraform provides a way to [define variables](https://www.terraform.io/docs/configuration/variables.html#declaring-an-input-variable),
the HCL file format also supports variable block definitions. These can be used
to define variables with values provided by the current environment, or a
default value when unset.
A [set of generally useful functions](https://github.com/docker/buildx/blob/master/bake/hclparser/stdlib.go)
provided by [go-cty](https://github.com/zclconf/go-cty/tree/main/cty/function/stdlib)
are available for use in HCL files. In addition, [user defined functions](https://github.com/hashicorp/hcl/tree/main/ext/userfunc)
are also supported.
#### Using interpolation to tag an image with the git sha
Bake supports variable blocks which are assigned to matching environment
variables or default values.
```hcl
# docker-bake.hcl
variable "TAG" {
default = "latest"
}
group "default" {
targets = ["webapp"]
}
target "webapp" {
tags = ["docker.io/username/webapp:${TAG}"]
}
```
alternatively, in json format:
```json
{
"variable": {
"TAG": {
"default": "latest"
}
}
"group": {
"default": {
"targets": ["webapp"]
}
},
"target": {
"webapp": {
"tags": ["docker.io/username/webapp:${TAG}"]
}
}
}
```
```console
$ docker buildx bake --print webapp
{
"group": {
"default": {
"targets": [
"webapp"
]
}
},
"target": {
"webapp": {
"context": ".",
"dockerfile": "Dockerfile",
"tags": [
"docker.io/username/webapp:latest"
]
}
}
}
```
```console
$ TAG=$(git rev-parse --short HEAD) docker buildx bake --print webapp
{
"group": {
"default": {
"targets": [
"webapp"
]
}
},
"target": {
"webapp": {
"context": ".",
"dockerfile": "Dockerfile",
"tags": [
"docker.io/username/webapp:985e9e9"
]
}
}
}
```
#### Using the `add` function
You can use [`go-cty` stdlib functions](https://github.com/zclconf/go-cty/tree/main/cty/function/stdlib).
Here we are using the `add` function.
```hcl
# docker-bake.hcl
variable "TAG" {
default = "latest"
}
group "default" {
targets = ["webapp"]
}
target "webapp" {
args = {
buildno = "${add(123, 1)}"
}
}
```
```console
$ docker buildx bake --print webapp
{
"group": {
"default": {
"targets": [
"webapp"
]
}
},
"target": {
"webapp": {
"context": ".",
"dockerfile": "Dockerfile",
"args": {
"buildno": "124"
}
}
}
}
```
#### Defining an `increment` function
It also supports [user defined functions](https://github.com/hashicorp/hcl/tree/main/ext/userfunc).
The following example defines a simple an `increment` function.
```hcl
# docker-bake.hcl
function "increment" {
params = [number]
result = number + 1
}
group "default" {
targets = ["webapp"]
}
target "webapp" {
args = {
buildno = "${increment(123)}"
}
}
```
```console
$ docker buildx bake --print webapp
{
"group": {
"default": {
"targets": [
"webapp"
]
}
},
"target": {
"webapp": {
"context": ".",
"dockerfile": "Dockerfile",
"args": {
"buildno": "124"
}
}
}
}
```
#### Only adding tags if a variable is not empty using an `notequal`
Here we are using the conditional `notequal` function which is just for
symmetry with the `equal` one.
```hcl
# docker-bake.hcl
variable "TAG" {default="" }
group "default" {
targets = [
"webapp",
]
}
target "webapp" {
context="."
dockerfile="Dockerfile"
tags = [
"my-image:latest",
notequal("",TAG) ? "my-image:${TAG}": "",
]
}
```
```console
$ docker buildx bake --print webapp
{
"group": {
"default": {
"targets": [
"webapp"
]
}
},
"target": {
"webapp": {
"context": ".",
"dockerfile": "Dockerfile",
"tags": [
"my-image:latest"
]
}
}
}
```
#### Using variables in functions
You can refer variables to other variables like the target blocks can. Stdlib
functions can also be called but user functions can't at the moment.
```hcl
# docker-bake.hcl
variable "REPO" {
default = "user/repo"
}
function "tag" {
params = [tag]
result = ["${REPO}:${tag}"]
}
target "webapp" {
tags = tag("v1")
}
```
```console
$ docker buildx bake --print webapp
{
"group": {
"default": {
"targets": [
"webapp"
]
}
},
"target": {
"webapp": {
"context": ".",
"dockerfile": "Dockerfile",
"tags": [
"user/repo:v1"
]
}
}
}
```
#### Using variables in variables across files
When multiple files are specified, one file can use variables defined in
another file.
```hcl
# docker-bake1.hcl
variable "FOO" {
default = upper("${BASE}def")
}
variable "BAR" {
default = "-${FOO}-"
}
target "app" {
args = {
v1 = "pre-${BAR}"
}
}
```
```hcl
# docker-bake2.hcl
variable "BASE" {
default = "abc"
}
target "app" {
args = {
v2 = "${FOO}-post"
}
}
```
```console
$ docker buildx bake -f docker-bake1.hcl -f docker-bake2.hcl --print app
{
"group": {
"default": {
"targets": [
"app"
]
}
},
"target": {
"app": {
"context": ".",
"dockerfile": "Dockerfile",
"args": {
"v1": "pre--ABCDEF-",
"v2": "ABCDEF-post"
}
}
}
}
```
#### Using typed variables
Non-string variables are also accepted. The value passed with env is parsed
into suitable type first.
```hcl
# docker-bake.hcl
variable "FOO" {
default = 3
}
variable "IS_FOO" {
default = true
}
target "app" {
args = {
v1 = FOO > 5 ? "higher" : "lower"
v2 = IS_FOO ? "yes" : "no"
}
}
```
```console
$ docker buildx bake --print app
{
"group": {
"default": {
"targets": [
"app"
]
}
},
"target": {
"app": {
"context": ".",
"dockerfile": "Dockerfile",
"args": {
"v1": "lower",
"v2": "yes"
}
}
}
}
```
### Defining additional build contexts and linking targets
In addition to the main `context` key that defines the build context each target can also define additional named contexts with a map defined with key `contexts`. These values map to the `--build-context` flag in the [build command](buildx_build.md#build-context).
Inside the Dockerfile these contexts can be used with the `FROM` instruction or `--from` flag.
The value can be a local source directory, container image (with docker-image:// prefix), Git URL, HTTP URL or a name of another target in the Bake file (with target: prefix).
#### Pinning alpine image
```Dockerfile
# Dockerfile
FROM alpine
RUN echo "Hello world"
```
```hcl
# docker-bake.hcl
target "app" {
contexts = {
alpine = "docker-image://alpine:3.13"
}
}
```
#### Using a secondary source directory
```Dockerfile
# Dockerfile
FROM scratch AS src
FROM golang
COPY --from=src . .
```
```hcl
# docker-bake.hcl
target "app" {
contexts = {
src = "../path/to/source"
}
}
```
#### Using a result of one target as a base image in another target
To use a result of one target as a build context of another, specity the target name with `target:` prefix.
```Dockerfile
# Dockerfile
FROM baseapp
RUN echo "Hello world"
```
```hcl
# docker-bake.hcl
target "base" {
dockerfile = "baseapp.Dockerfile"
}
target "app" {
contexts = {
baseapp = "target:base"
}
}
```
Please note that in most cases you should just use a single multi-stage Dockerfile with multiple targets for similar behavior. This case is recommended when you have multiple Dockerfiles that can't be easily merged into one.
