What Hacker News says
5 sourcesYou may be interested in trying GCCB with the bazel build step: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/cloud-builders/tree/m...
In a GCCB build, we volume-mount in the VM host's docker daemon socket, so you can use the docker CLI, and related CLIs, with no additional setup.
We initially tried a docker-in-docker approach here, but it was a bit too fragile. This attempt was quite some time ago, so it's possible things have improved.
In Introducing Google Cloud Container BuilderWe've tried to satisfy the 90% case with the UI and "easy" options, especially those that transfer well from other push-to-build products.
To keep the UI simple and understandable for everyone, we decided to drop some options and require that you use a config for the more interesting cases.
There are lots of examples of config files (often named `cloudbuild.yaml`) in our github repo: https://github.com/googlecloudplatform/cloud-builders
In Introducing Google Cloud Container BuilderI'd give this a look: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/cloud-builders/tree/m... (unfortunately key links to Bazel docs are 404'ing.)
Bazel is a general purpose build system that focuses on reproducibility (same build inputs -> same build outputs) and strict dependency specification (at various levels: file, subsystem, external package fetching etc.) enforced by sandboxing which allows for fast incremental builds. Bazel is the open-source version of Google's internal build-system.
More info here: https://bazel.build/
How external resources are handled: https://bazel.build/versions/master/docs/external.html
Obviously Bazel requires some buy-in which may be unappealing (at least for existing projects:
migration/supporting multiple build systems.) There are, however, serious benefits (and a larger, but nascent, ecosystem of related ope

n-source tooling.) The biggest gap at the moment is supported languages/etc.
(I don't work for Google, I just like Bazel.)
We agree! We maintain the official plugins (which we call "build steps" or "builders") here: https://github.com/googlecloudplatform/cloud-builders
Support is limited, more or less, to what I am really familiar with. If you have other use cases that we could support with other builders, I'd love to see a FR on that GitHub repo.
Also, you can use literally any container image as a build step. Details about how to make that happen are here: https://cloud.google.com/container-builder/docs/api/custom-b...
