These rules used to be docker_build
, docker_push
, etc. and the aliases for
these (mostly) legacy names still exist largely for backwards-compatibility. We
also have early-stage oci_image
, oci_push
, etc. aliases for folks that
enjoy the consistency of a consistent rule prefix. The only place the
format-specific names currently do any more than alias things is in foo_push
,
where they also specify the appropriate format as which to publish the image.
This repository contains a set of rules for pulling down base images, augmenting them with build artifacts and assets, and publishing those images. These rules do not require / use Docker for pulling, building, or pushing images. This means:
- They can be used to develop Docker containers on OSX without
boot2docker
ordocker-machine
installed. Note use of these rules on Windows is currently not supported. - They do not require root access on your workstation.
Also, unlike traditional container builds (e.g. Dockerfile), the Docker images
produced by container_image
are deterministic / reproducible.
To get started with building Docker images, check out the examples that build the same images using both rules_docker and a Dockerfile.
NOTE: container_push
and container_pull
make use of
google/go-containerregistry for
registry interactions.

It is notable that: cc_image

also allow you to specify an external binary target.
This repo now includes rules that provide additional functionality to install packages and run commands inside docker containers. These rules, however, require a docker binary is present and properly configured. These rules include:
- Package manager rules: rules to install apt-get packages.
- Docker run rules: rules to run commands inside docker containers.
In addition to low-level rules for building containers, this repository
provides a set of higher-level rules for containerizing applications. The idea
behind these rules is to make containerizing an application built via a
lang_binary
rule as simple as changing it to lang_image
.
By default these higher level rules make use of the distroless
language runtimes, but these
can be overridden via the base="..."
attribute (e.g. with a container_pull
or container_image
target).
Note also that these rules do not expose any docker related attributes. If you
need to add a custom env
or symlink
to a lang_image
, you must use
container_image
targets for this purpose. Specifically, you can use as base for your
lang_image
target a container_image
target that adds e.g., custom env
or symlink
.
Please see go_image (custom base) for an example.
Add the following to your WORKSPACE
file to add the external repositories:
load("@bazel_tools//tools/build_defs/repo:http.bzl", "http_archive")
http_archive(
# Get copy paste instructions for the http_archive attributes from the
# release notes at https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_docker/releases
)
# OPTIONAL: Call this to override the default docker toolchain configuration.
# This call should be placed BEFORE the call to "container_repositories" below
# to actually override the default toolchain configuration.
# Note this is only required if you actually want to call
# docker_toolchain_configure with a custom attr; please read the toolchains
# docs in /toolchains/docker/ before blindly adding this to your WORKSPACE.
# BEGIN OPTIONAL segment:

docker_toolchain_configure(

- Bazel does not deal well with diamond dependencies.
If the repositories that are imported by container_repositories()
have already been
imported (at a different version) by other rules you called in your WORKSPACE
, which
are placed above the call to container_repositories()
, arbitrary errors might
occur. If you get errors related to external repositories, you will likely
not be able to use container_repositories()
and will have to import
directly in your WORKSPACE
all the required dependencies (see the most up
to date impl of container_repositories()
for details).
- ImportError: No module named moves.urllib.parse
This is an example of an error due to a diamond dependency. If you get this error, make sure to import rules_docker before other libraries, so that six can be patched properly.
See bazelbuild#1022 for more details.
- Ensure your project has a
BUILD
orBUILD.bazel
file at the top level. This can be a blank file if necessary. Otherwise you might see an error that looks like:
Unable to load package for //:WORKSPACE: BUILD file not found in any of the following directories.
Suppose you have a container_image
target //my/image:helloworld
:
container_image(
name = "helloworld",
...
)
You can load this into your local Docker client by running:
bazel run my/image:helloworld
.
For the lang_image
targets, this will also run the
container to maximize compatibility with lang_binary
rules. You can suppress
this behavior by passing the single flag: bazel run :foo -- --norun
Alternatively, you can build a docker load
compatible bundle with:
bazel build my/image:helloworld.tar
. This will produce the file:
bazel-bin/my/image/helloworld.tar
, which you can load into
your local Docker client by running:
docker load -i bazel-bin/my/image/helloworld.tar
. Building
this target can be expensive for large images.
These work with both container_image
, container_bundle
, and the
lang_image
rules. For everything except
container_bundle
, the image name will be bazel/my/image:helloworld
.
For container_bundle
, it will apply the tags you have specified.
You can use these rules to access private images using standard Docker authentication methods. e.g. to utilize the Google Container Registry. See here for authentication methods.
See also:
Once you've setup your docker client configuration, see here
for an example of how to use container_pull
with custom docker authentication credentials
and here for an example of how
to use container_push
with custom docker authentication credentials.
A common request from folks using container_push
or container_bundle
is to
be able to vary the tag that is pushed or embedded. There are two options
at present for doing this.
The first option is to use stamping. Stamping is enabled when a supported
attribute contains a python format placeholder (e.g. {BUILD_USER}
).
# A common pattern when users want to avoid trampling
# on each other's images during development.
container_push(
name = "publish",
format = "Docker",
# Any of these components may have variables.
registry = "gcr.io",
repository = "my-project/my-image",
tag = "{BUILD_USER}",
)
The next natural question is: "Well what variables can I use?" This
option consumes the workspace-status variables Bazel defines in
stable-status.txt
and volatile-status.txt
. These files will appear
in the target's runfiles:
$ bazel build //docker/testdata:push_stamp
...
$ cat bazel-bin/docker/testdata/push_stamp.runfiles/io_bazel_rules_docker/stable-status.txt
BUILD_EMBED_LABEL
BUILD_HOST bazel
BUILD_USER mattmoor
$ cat bazel-bin/docker/testdata/push_stamp.runfiles/io_bazel_rules_docker/volatile-status.txt
BUILD_TIMESTAMP 1498740967769
You can augment these variables via --workspace_status_command
,
including through the use of .bazelrc
.
The second option is to employ Makefile
-style variables:
container_bundle(
name = "bundle",
images = {
"gcr.io/$(project)/frontend:latest": "//frontend:image",
"gcr.io/$(project)/backend:latest": "//backend:image",
}
)
These variables are specified on the CLI using:
bazel build --define project=blah //path/to:bundle
By default the lang_image
rules use the distroless
base runtime images,
which are optimized to be the minimal set of things your application needs
at runtime. That can make debugging these containers difficult because they
lack even a basic shell for exploring the filesystem.
To address this, we publish variants of the distroless
runtime images tagged
:debug
, which are the exact-same images, but with additions such as busybox
to make debugging easier.
For example (in this repo):
$ bazel run -c dbg testdata:go_image
...
INFO: Build completed successfully, 5 total actions
INFO: Running command line: bazel-bin/testdata/go_image
Loaded image ID: sha256:9c5c2167a1db080a64b5b401b43b3c5cdabb265b26cf7a60aabe04a20da79e24
Tagging 9c5c2167a1db080a64b5b401b43b3c5cdabb265b26cf7a60aabe04a20da79e24 as bazel/testdata:go_image
Hello, world!
$ docker run -ti --rm --entrypoint=sh bazel/testdata:go_image -c "echo Hello, busybox."
Hello, busybox.
container_image(
name = "app",
# References container_pull from WORKSPACE (above)
base = "@java_base//image",
files = ["//java/com/example/app:Hello_deploy.jar"],
cmd = ["Hello_deploy.jar"]
)
Hint: if you want to put files in specific directories inside the image
use pkg_tar
rule
to create the desired directory structure and pass that to container_image
via
tars
attribute. Note you might need to set strip_prefix = "."
or strip_prefix = "{some directory}"
in your rule for the files to not be flattened.
See Bazel upstream issue 2176 and
rules_docker issue 317
for more details.
To use cc_image
, add the following to WORKSPACE
:
load(
"@io_bazel_rules_docker//repositories:repositories.bzl",
container_repositories = "repositories",
)
container_repositories()
load(
"@io_bazel_rules_docker//cc:image.bzl",
_cc_image_repos = "repositories",
)
_cc_image_repos()
Then in your BUILD
file, simply rewrite cc_binary
to cc_image
with the
following import:
load("@io_bazel_rules_docker//cc:image.bzl", "cc_image")
cc_image(
name = "cc_image",
srcs = ["cc_image.cc"],
deps = [":cc_image_library"],
)
To use cc_image
(or go_image
, d_image
, rust_image
) with an external
cc_binary
(or the like) target, then your BUILD
file should instead look
like:
load("@io_bazel_rules_docker//cc:image.bzl", "cc_image")
cc_binary(
name = "cc_binary",
srcs = ["cc_binary.cc"],
deps = [":cc_library"],
)
cc_image(
name = "cc_image",
binary = ":cc_binary",
)
If you need to modify somehow the container produced by
cc_image
(e.g., env
, symlink
), see note above in
Language Rules Overview about how to do this
and see go_image (custom base) example below.
To use py_image
, add the following to WORKSPACE
:
load(
"@io_bazel_rules_docker//repositories:repositories.bzl",
container_repositories = "repositories",
)
container_repositories()
load(
"@io_bazel_rules_docker//python:image.bzl",
_py_image_repos = "repositories",
)
_py_image_repos()
Then in your BUILD
file, simply rewrite py_binary
to py_image
with the
following import:
load("@io_bazel_rules_docker//python:image.bzl", "py_image")
py_image(
name = "py_image",
srcs = ["py_image.py"],
deps = [":py_image_library"],
main = "py_image.py",
)
If you need to modify somehow the container produced by
py_image
(e.g., env
, symlink
), see note above in
Language Rules Overview about how to do this
and see go_image (custom base) example below.
If you are using py_image
with a custom base that has python tools installed
in a location different to the default base, please see
Python tools.
For Python and Java's lang_image
rules, you can factor
dependencies that don't change into their own layers by overriding the
layers=[]
attribute. Consider this sample from the rules_k8s
repository:
py_image(
name = "server",
srcs = ["server.py"],
# "layers" is just like "deps", but it also moves the dependencies each into
# their own layer, which can dramatically improve developer cycle time. For
# example here, the grpcio layer is ~40MB, but the rest of the app is only
# ~400KB. By partitioning things this way, the large grpcio layer remains
# unchanging and we can reduce the amount of image data we repush by ~99%!
layers = [
requirement("grpcio"),
"//examples/hellogrpc/proto:py",
],
main = "server.py",
)
You can also implement more complex fine layering strategies by using the
py_layer
rule and its filter
attribute. For example:
# Suppose that we are synthesizing an image that depends on a complex set
# of libraries that we want to break into layers.
LIBS = [
"//pkg/complex_library",
# ...
]
# First, we extract all transitive dependencies of LIBS that are under //pkg/common.
py_layer(
name = "common_deps",
deps = LIBS,
filter = "//pkg/common",
)
# Then, we further extract all external dependencies of the deps under //pkg/common.
py_layer(
name = "common_external_deps",
deps = [":common_deps"],
filter = "@",
)
# We also extract all external dependencies of LIBS, which is a superset of
# ":common_external_deps".
py_layer(
name = "external_deps",
deps = LIBS,
filter = "@",
)
# Finally, we create the image, stacking the above filtered layers on top of one
# another in the "layers" attribute. The layers are applied in order, and any
# dependencies already added to the image will not be added again. Therefore,
# ":external_deps" will only add the external dependencies not present in
# ":common_external_deps".
py_image(
name = "image",
deps = LIBS,
layers = [
":common_external_deps",
":common_deps",
":external_deps",
],
# ...
)
To use a Python 3 runtime instead of the default of Python 2, use py3_image
,
instead of py_image
. The other semantics are identical.
If you need to modify somehow the container produced by
py3_image
(e.g., env
, symlink
), see note above in
Language Rules Overview about how to do this
and see go_image (custom base) example below.
If you are using py3_image
with a custom base that has python tools installed
in a location different to the default base, please see
Python tools.
It is notable that unlike the other image rules, nodejs_image
is not
currently using the gcr.io/distroless/nodejs
image for a handful of reasons.
This is a switch we plan to make, when we can manage it. We are currently
utilizing the gcr.io/google-appengine/debian9
image as our base.
To use nodejs_image
, add the following to WORKSPACE
:
load("@bazel_tools//tools/build_defs/repo:http.bzl", "http_archive")
http_archive(
name = "build_bazel_rules_nodejs",
# Replace with a real SHA256 checksum
sha256 = "{SHA256}"
# Replace with a real release version
urls = ["https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_nodejs/releases/download/{VERSION}/rules_nodejs-{VERSION}.tar.gz"],
)
load("@build_bazel_rules_nodejs//:index.bzl", "npm_install")
# Install your declared Node.js dependencies
npm_install(
name = "npm",
package_json = "//:package.json",
yarn_lock = "//:yarn.lock",
)
load(
"@io_bazel_rules_docker//repositories:repositories.bzl",
container_repositories = "repositories",
)
container_repositories()
load(
"@io_bazel_rules_docker//nodejs:image.bzl",
_nodejs_image_repos = "repositories",
)
_nodejs_image_repos()
Note: See note about diamond dependencies in setup
if you run into issues related to external repos after adding these
lines to your WORKSPACE
.
Then in your BUILD
file, simply rewrite nodejs_binary
to nodejs_image
with
the following import:
load("@io_bazel_rules_docker//nodejs:image.bzl", "nodejs_image")
nodejs_image(
name = "nodejs_image",
entry_point = "@your_workspace//path/to:file.js",
# npm deps will be put into their own layer
data = [":file.js", "@npm//some-npm-dep"],
...
)
If you need to modify somehow the container produced by
nodejs_image
(e.g., env
, symlink
), see note above in
Language Rules Overview about how to do this
and see go_image (custom base) example below.
To use go_image
, add the following to WORKSPACE
:
load("@bazel_tools//tools/build_defs/repo:http.bzl", "http_archive")
load(
"@io_bazel_rules_docker//repositories:repositories.bzl",
container_repositories = "repositories",
)
container_repositories()
load(
"@io_bazel_rules_docker//go:image.bzl",
_go_image_repos = "repositories",
)
_go_image_repos()
Note: See note about diamond dependencies in setup
if you run into issues related to external repos after adding these
lines to your WORKSPACE
.
Then in your BUILD
file, simply rewrite go_binary
to go_image
with the
following import:
load("@io_bazel_rules_docker//go:image.bzl", "go_image")
go_image(
name = "go_image",
srcs = ["main.go"],
importpath = "github.com/your/path/here",
)
Notice that it is important to explicitly build this target with the
--platforms=@io_bazel_rules_go//go/toolchain:linux_amd64
flag
as the binary should be built for Linux since it will run in a Linux container.
If you need to modify somehow the container produced by
go_image
(e.g., env
, symlink
), see note above in
Language Rules Overview about how to do this and
see example below.
To use a custom base image, with any of the lang_image
rules, you can override the default base="..."
attribute. Consider this
modified sample from the distroless
repository:
load("@rules_pkg//:pkg.bzl", "pkg_tar")
# Create a passwd file with a root and nonroot user and uid.
passwd_entry(
username = "root",
uid = 0,
gid = 0,
name = "root_user",
)
passwd_entry(
username = "nonroot",
info = "nonroot",
uid = 1002,
name = "nonroot_user",
)
passwd_file(
name = "passwd",
entries = [
":root_user",
":nonroot_user",
],
)
# Create a tar file containing the created passwd file
pkg_tar(
name = "passwd_tar",
srcs = [":passwd"],
mode = "0o644",
package_dir = "etc",
)
# Include it in our base image as a tar.
container_image(
name = "passwd_image",
base = "@go_image_base//image",
tars = [":passwd_tar"],
user = "nonroot",
)
# Simple go program to print out the username and uid.
go_image(
name = "user",
srcs = ["user.go"],
# Override the base image.
base = ":passwd_image",
)
To use java_image
, add the following to WORKSPACE
:
load(
"@io_bazel_rules_docker//repositories:repositories.bzl",
container_repositories = "repositories",
)
container_repositories()
load(
"@io_bazel_rules_docker//java:image.bzl",
_java_image_repos = "repositories",
)
_java_image_repos()
Then in your BUILD
file, simply rewrite java_binary
to java_image
with the
following import:
load("@io_bazel_rules_docker//java:image.bzl", "java_image")
java_image(
name = "java_image",
srcs = ["Binary.java"],
# Put these runfiles into their own layer.
layers = [":java_image_library"],
main_class = "examples.images.Binary",
)
If you need to modify somehow the container produced by
java_image
(e.g., env
, symlink
), see note above in
Language Rules Overview about how to do this
and see go_image (custom base) example.
To use war_image
, add the following to WORKSPACE
:
load(
"@io_bazel_rules_docker//repositories:repositories.bzl",
container_repositories = "repositories",
)
container_repositories()
load(
"@io_bazel_rules_docker//java:image.bzl",
_java_image_repos = "repositories",
)
_java_image_repos()
Note: See note about diamond dependencies in setup
if you run into issues related to external repos after adding these
lines to your WORKSPACE
.
Then in your BUILD
file, simply rewrite java_war
to war_image
with the
following import:
load("@io_bazel_rules_docker//java:image.bzl", "war_image")
war_image(
name = "war_image",
srcs = ["Servlet.java"],
# Put these JARs into their own layers.
layers = [
":java_image_library",
"@javax_servlet_api//jar:jar",
],
)
The produced image uses Jetty 9.x to serve the web application. Servlets included in the web application need to follow the API specification 3.0. For best compatibility, use a Servlet dependency provided by the Jetty project.
A Servlet implementation needs to declare the @WebServlet
annotation to be auto-discovered. The use of a web.xml
to declare the Servlet URL mapping is not supported.
If you need to modify somehow the container produced by
war_image
(e.g., env
, symlink
), see note above in
Language Rules Overview about how to do this
and see go_image (custom base) example.

load("@bazel_tools//tools/build_defs/repo:http.bzl", "http_archive")
# You *must* import the D rules before setting up the d_image rules.
http_archive(
name = "io_bazel_rules_d",
# Replace with a real SHA256 checksum
sha256 = "{SHA256}"
# Replace with a real commit SHA
strip_prefix = "rules_d-{HEAD}",
urls = ["https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_d/archive/{HEAD}.tar.gz"],
)
load("@io_bazel_rules_d//d:d.bzl", "d_repositories")
d_repositories()
load(
"@io_bazel_rules_docker//repositories:repositories.bzl",
container_repositories = "repositories",
)
container_repositories()
load(
"@io_bazel_rules_docker//d:image.bzl",
_d_image_repos = "repositories",
)
_d_image_repos()
Note: See note about diamond dependencies in setup
if you run into issues related to external repos after adding these
lines to your WORKSPACE
.
Then in your BUILD
file, simply rewrite d_binary
to d_image
with the
following import:
load("@io_bazel_rules_docker//d:image.bzl", "d_image")
d_image(
name = "d_image",
srcs = ["main.d"],
)
If you need to modify somehow the container produced by
d_image
(e.g., env
, symlink
), see note above in
Language Rules Overview about how to do this
and see go_image (custom base) example.
NOTE: all application image rules support the
args
string_list attribute. If specified, they will be appended directly after the container ENTRYPOINT binary name.
container_bundle(
name = "bundle",
images = {
# A set of images to bundle up into a single tarball.
"gcr.io/foo/bar:bazz": ":app",
"gcr.io/foo/bar:blah": "//my:sidecar",
"gcr.io/foo/bar:booo": "@your//random:image",
}
)
In WORKSPACE
:
container_pull(
name = "base",
registry = "gcr.io",
repository = "my-project/my-base",
# 'tag' is also supported, but digest is encouraged for reproducibility.
digest = "sha256:deadbeef",
)
This can then be referenced in BUILD
files as @base//image
.
To get the correct digest one can run docker manifest inspect gcr.io/my-project/my-base:tag
once experimental docker cli features are enabled.
See here for an example of how to use container_pull with custom docker authentication credentials.
This target pushes on bazel run :push_foo
:
container_push(
name = "push_foo",
image = ":foo",
format = "Docker",
registry = "gcr.io",
repository = "my-project/my-image",
tag = "dev",
)
We also support the docker_push
(from docker/docker.bzl
) and oci_push
(from oci/oci.bzl
) aliases, which bake in the format = "..."
attribute.
See here for an example of how to use container_push with custom docker authentication credentials.
If you wish to use container_push using custom docker authentication credentials,
in WORKSPACE
:
# Download the rules_docker repository
http_archive(
name = "io_bazel_rules_docker",
...
)
# Load the macro that allows you to customize the docker toolchain configuration.
load("@io_bazel_rules_docker//toolchains/docker:toolchain.bzl",
docker_toolchain_configure="toolchain_configure"
)
docker_toolchain_configure(
name = "docker_config",
# Replace this with an absolute path to a directory which has a custom docker
# client config.json. Note relative paths are not supported.
# Docker allows you to specify custom authentication credentials
# in the client configuration JSON file.
# See https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/cli/#configuration-files
# for more details.
client_config="/path/to/docker/client/config-dir",
)
In BUILD
file:
load("@io_bazel_rules_docker//container:container.bzl", "container_push")
container_push(
name = "push_foo",
image = ":foo",
format = "Docker",
registry = "gcr.io",

)
In WORKSPACE
:
container_pull(
name = "official_ubuntu",
registry = "index.docker.io",
repository = "library/ubuntu",
tag = "14.04",
)
This can then be referenced in BUILD
files as @official_ubuntu//image
.
In WORKSPACE
:
container_pull(
name = "etcd",
registry = "quay.io",
repository = "coreos/etcd",
tag = "latest",
)
This can then be referenced in BUILD
files as @etcd//image
.
In WORKSPACE
:
container_pull(
name = "artifactory",
registry = "docker.bintray.io",
repository = "jfrog/artifactory-pro",

.
In WORKSPACE
:
container_pull(
name = "gitlab",
registry = "registry.gitlab.com",
repository = "username/project/image",
tag = "tag",
)
This can then be referenced in BUILD
files as @gitlab//image
.
If you specified a docker client directory using the client_config
attribute
to the docker toolchain configuration described here, you
can use a container_pull that uses the authentication credentials from the
specified docker client directory as follows:
In WORKSPACE
:
load("@io_bazel_rules_docker//toolchains/docker:toolchain.bzl",
docker_toolchain_configure="toolchain_configure"
)
# Configure the docker toolchain.
docker_toolchain_configure(
name = "docker_config",
# Path to the directory which has a custom docker client config.json with
# authentication credentials for registry.gitlab.com (used in this example).
client_config="/path/to/docker/client/config",
)
# Load the custom version of container_pull created by the docker toolchain
# configuration.
load("@docker_config//:pull.bzl", authenticated_container_pull="container_pull")
authenticated_container_pull(
name = "gitlab",
registry = "registry.gitlab.com",
repository = "username/project/image",
tag = "tag",
)
This can then be referenced in BUILD
files as @gitlab//image
.
NOTE: This should only be used if a custom client_config
was set. If you want
to use the DOCKER_CONFIG env variable or the default home directory
use the standard container_pull
rule.
NOTE: This will only work on systems with Python >2.7.6
Starting with Bazel 0.25.0 it's possible to configure python toolchains
for rules_docker
.
To use these features you need to enable the flags in the .bazelrc
file at the root of this project.
Use of these features require a python toolchain to be registered.
//py_images/image.bzl:deps
and //py3_images/image.bzl:deps
register a
default python toolchain (//toolchains/python:container_py_toolchain
)
that defines the path to python tools inside the default container used
for these rules.
If you are using a custom base for py_image
or py3_image
builds that has
python tools installed in a different location to those defined in
//toolchains/python:container_py_toolchain
, you will need to create a
toolchain that points to these paths and register it before the call to
py*_images/image.bzl:deps
in your WORKSPACE
.
Use of python toolchain features, currently, only supports picking one
version of python for execution of host tools. rules_docker
heavily depends
on execution of python host tools that are only compatible with python 2.
Flags in the recommended .bazelrc
file force all host tools to use python 2.
If your project requires using host tools that are only compatible with
python 3 you will not be able to use these features at the moment. We
expect this issue to be resolved before use of python toolchain features
becomes the default.
The digest references to the distroless
base images must be updated over time
to pick up bug fixes and security patches. To facilitate this, the files
containing the digest references are generated by tools/update_deps.py
. To
update all of the dependencies, please run (from the root of the repository):
./update_deps.sh
Image references should not be updated individually because these images have shared layers and letting them diverge could result in sub-optimal push and pull performance.
container_pull(name, registry, repository, digest, tag)
A repository rule that pulls down a Docker base image in a manner suitable for
use with container_image
's base
attribute.
NOTE: container_pull
now supports authentication using custom docker client
configuration. See here for details.
NOTE: Set PULLER_TIMEOUT
env variable to change the default 600s timeout.
NOTE: Set DOCKER_REPO_CACHE
env variable to make the container puller
cache downloaded layers at the directory specified as a value to this env
variable. The caching feature hasn't been thoroughly tested and may be thread
unsafe. If you notice flakiness after enabling it, see the warning below on how
to workaround it.
NOTE: container_pull
is suspected to have thread safety issues. To
ensure multiple container_pull
(s) don't execute concurrently, please use the
bazel startup flag --loading_phase_threads=1
in your bazel invocation.
