Tool - Docker build not showing any output from commands(Dockerfile RUN)

中文阅读

Problem Description

Here is the content of Dockerfile:

FROM alpine

ADD . /app/
WORKDIR /app
RUN echo "hello world"
RUN ls -l

When using the new version of Docker to execute docker build, I found that the RUN command has no output.

 => => naming to docker.io/library/test

This is very unfavorable for debugging when building images.

Solution

Add DOCKER_BUILDKIT=0 in front of the docker build command to print the command output like the previous Docker version.
