Any systemd unit files available for running as a service ?

[afbjorklund]

There doesn't seem to be any files for starting up buildkitd

Similar to e.g. containerd.service

[afbjorklund]

Something like:

buildkit.service

[Unit]
Description=BuildKit
Documentation=https://github.com/moby/buildkit

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/buildkitd

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Not sure what the dependencies are like, with network/local-fs or with containerd ?

[afbjorklund]

Can also be socket-activated:

buildkit.socket

[Unit]
Description=BuildKit
Documentation=https://github.com/moby/buildkit

[Socket]
ListenStream=%t/buildkit/buildkitd.sock

[Install]
WantedBy=sockets.target

That way the daemon will start on-demand, when user accesses the unix socket.

[afbjorklund]

Unless, I am mistaken there is currenly no way to do socket-activation with buildkitd ?

With docker this is done with dockerd -H fd:// but can't really see support for the fds.

It would be nice if this was implemented, for instance using go-systemd (already imported)
