Documented steps

  1. Inspect the current builder with docker buildx inspect, or a specific one with docker buildx inspect <name>
  2. Use --bootstrap to ensure the builder is running before inspecting (for docker-container this starts the BuildKit container and waits)
  3. Read key fields from output: Driver, Status, BuildKit version, Platforms, node endpoints and GC policy
  4. Get extra detail by prefixing with debug: docker --debug buildx inspect <name>
  5. Official docs: https://docs.docker.com/reference/cli/docker/inspect/
