Docker Buildkite Plugin

A Buildkite plugin for running pipeline steps in Docker containers

The buildkite-agent command line tool (and required environment variables) will also be mounted into the container, allowing you to use it for artifact download, etc.

If you need more control, please see the docker-compose Buildkite Plugin.

The docker container has the host buildkite-agent binary mounted in to /usr/bin/buildkite-agent and the required environment variables set.

Example

The following pipeline will run yarn install and yarn run test inside a Docker container using the node:7 Docker image:

steps:
  - command: yarn install && yarn run test
    plugins:
      docker#v1.0.0:
        image: "node:7"
        workdir: /app

You can pass in additional environment variables:

steps:
  - command: yarn install && yarn run test
    plugins:
      docker#v1.0.0:
        image: "node:7"
        workdir: /app
        environment:
          - MY_SPECIAL_VALUE=1

Configuration

image (required)

The name of the Docker image to use.

Example: node:7

workdir (required)

The working directory where the pipeline’s code will be mounted to, and run from, inside the container.

mount-buildkite-agent (optional)

Whether to automatically mount the buildkite-agent binary from the host agent machine into the container. Defaults to true. Set to false if you want to disable, or if you already have your own binary in the image.
