Read source descriptor from a file (-f, --file)
-f FILE or --file FILE
Reads source from files. A source can be a manifest digest, manifest reference, or a JSON of OCI descriptor object.
In order to define annotations or additional platform properties like os.version and
os.features you need to add them in the OCI descriptor object encoded in JSON.
$ docker buildx imagetools inspect --raw alpine | jq '.manifests[0] | .platform."os.version"="10.1"' > descr.json
$ docker buildx imagetools create -f descr.json myuser/image
The descriptor in the file is merged with existing descriptor in the registry if it exists.
The supported fields for the descriptor are defined in OCI spec .
Set reference for new image (-t, --tag)
-t IMAGE or --tag IMAGE
Use the -t or --tag flag to set the name of the image to be created.
