50. #EveryoneCanContribute Cafe: First look: Dagger with Niclas Mietz
Niclas Mietz started with an introduction to Dagger and a Hello World example with CUE. We’ve discussed Dagger actions, packages and the interaction with buildkitd to run actions in containers, first impressions, ideas to contribute and future potential. Niclas also did a live demo with a GitLab project deployed to Netlify with Dagger, using CI/CD.
Insights
We’ve learned about:
- Dagger
- Run Dagger actions in containers
- Describe actions in CUE lang
- Action steps come as packages, example
- Buildkitd is required as daemon, any container compatible runtime
- Many actions and CI/CD integrations are work in progress, e.g. Terraform coming soon
- Discussions and issues
- Resources
News
The next meetup happens on May 10, 2022 in the week before KubeCon EU.
