docker buildx ls

Description	List builder instances
Usage	`docker buildx ls`

Description

Lists all builder instances and the nodes for each instance.

$ docker buildx ls
NAME/NODE           DRIVER/ENDPOINT                   STATUS    BUILDKIT   PLATFORMS
elated_tesla*       docker-container
 \_ elated_tesla0    \_ unix:///var/run/docker.sock   running   v0.10.3    linux/amd64
 \_ elated_tesla1    \_ ssh://ubuntu@1.2.3.4          running   v0.10.3    linux/arm64*, linux/arm/v7, linux/arm/v6
default             docker
 \_ default          \_ default                       running   v0.8.2     linux/amd64

Each builder has one or more nodes associated with it. The current builder's name is marked with a * in NAME/NODE and explicit node to build against for the target platform marked with a * in the PLATFORMS column.

Options

Option	Default	Description
`--format`	`table`	Format the output

Examples

Format the output (--format)

The formatting options (--format) pretty-prints builder instances output using a Go template.

Valid placeholders for the Go template are listed below:

Placeholder	Description
`.Name`	Builder or node name
`.DriverEndpoint`	Driver (for builder) or Endpoint (for node)
`.LastActivity`	Builder last activity
`.Status`	Builder or node status
`.Buildkit`	BuildKit version of the node
`.Platforms`	Available node's platforms
`.Error`	Error
`.Builder`	Builder object

When using the --format option, the ls command will either output the data exactly as the template declares or, when using the table directive, includes column headers as well.

The following example uses a template without headers and outputs the Name and DriverEndpoint entries separated by a colon (:):

$ docker buildx ls --format "{{.Name}}: {{.DriverEndpoint}}"
elated_tesla: docker-container
elated_tesla0: unix:///var/run/docker.sock
elated_tesla1: ssh://ubuntu@1.2.3.4
default: docker
default: default

The Builder placeholder can be used to access the builder object and its fields. For example, the following template outputs the builder's and nodes' names with their respective endpoints:

$ docker buildx ls --format "{{.Builder.Name}}: {{range .Builder.Nodes}}\n  {{.Name}}: {{.Endpoint}}{{end}}"
elated_tesla:
  elated_tesla0: unix:///var/run/docker.sock
  elated_tesla1: ssh://ubuntu@1.2.3.4
default: docker
  default: default
