Disabling buildkit while performing bentoml containerize

[sagarjoglekar]

Hi There,
I was wondering if there is a way to disable buildkit while doing the containerize step? Defaulting to multi-arch makes using bentoml a bit tricky with CI tools.
Thanks!

You can disable buildkit with DOCKER_BUILDKIT=0

Thanks a lot for the response! I tried exporting this as an env variable and also supplying it inline like so DOCKER_BUILDKIT=0 docker build ... , but it always fails with Error: [cli] containerize failed: BentoML requires Docker Buildx to be installed to support multi-arch builds. ...

Hi @aarnphm ,
Thanks a lot for helping. I am not a contributor to the project but I was just trying to understand the containerize step. I came across this

BentoML/bentoml/bentos.py

Line 487 in 945189d

env = {"DOCKER_BUILDKIT": "1", "DOCKER_SCAN_SUGGEST": "false"}

where the DOCKER_BUILDKIT env var is hardcoded to 1. And as far as I can tell, it is not updated before being passed to the subprocess. Could this be the reason why the exported env var is not working?
Thanks again!
