Documented steps

  1. Run 'docker buildx inspect' to show details of the current builder, or 'docker buildx inspect <name>' for a specific one.
  2. Add --bootstrap to ensure the builder (and its BuildKit daemon/container) is booted and operational before inspecting — useful for docker-container drivers.
  3. Read the output for the driver, per-node endpoints, driver options, status, BuildKit version, platforms, and the GC policy rules.
  4. Platforms shown with an asterisk were set manually during create; others are auto-detected.
  5. Official docs: https://docs.docker.com/reference/cli/docker/buildx/inspect/
