# Docker driver
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Buildx Docker driver is the default driver. It uses the BuildKit server
|
|
|
|
|
components built directly into the Docker engine. The Docker driver requires no
|
|
|
|
|
configuration.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Unlike the other drivers, builders using the Docker driver can't be manually
|
|
|
|
|
created. They're only created automatically from the Docker context.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Images built with the Docker driver are automatically loaded to the local image
|
|
|
|
|
store.

## Synopsis
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
|
|
|
# The Docker driver is used by buildx by default
|
|
|
|
|
docker buildx build .
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It's not possible to configure which BuildKit version to use, or to pass any
|
|
|
|
|
additional BuildKit parameters to a builder using the Docker driver. The
|
|
|
|
|
BuildKit version and parameters are preset by the Docker engine internally.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you need additional configuration and flexibility, consider using the
|
|
|
|
|
[Docker container driver](./docker-container.md).
