Documented steps

  1. List current builders and Docker contexts: docker buildx ls and docker context ls
  2. Create a docker-container builder and activate it in one shot: docker buildx create --use --name ci-builder --driver docker-container
  3. Pin supported platforms for the new node: docker buildx create --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64 --name mybuilder
  4. Append a remote node later: docker buildx create --name mybuilder --append <context-name>
  5. Auto-boot the builder now (otherwise it boots lazily on first build): docker buildx create --name ci-builder --driver docker-container --bootstrap
  6. Verify the new builder is active (marked with *) via docker buildx ls
  7. Official docs: https://docs.docker.com/reference/cli/docker/create/
