# Docker driver The buildx docker driver is the default builtin driver, that uses the BuildKit server components built directly into the docker engine. No setup should be required for the docker driver - it should already be configured for you: ```console $ docker buildx ls NAME/NODE DRIVER/ENDPOINT STATUS BUILDKIT PLATFORMS default docker default default running 20.10.17 linux/amd64, linux/386 ``` This builder is ready to build with out-of-the-box, requiring no extra setup, so you can get going with a `docker buildx build` as soon as you like. Depending on your personal setup, you may find multiple builders in your list the use the docker driver. For example, on a system that runs both a package managed version of dockerd, as well as Docker Desktop, you might have the following: ```console NAME/NODE DRIVER/ENDPOINT STATUS BUILDKIT PLATFORMS default docker default default running 20.10.17 linux/amd64, linux/386 desktop-linux * docker desktop-linux desktop-linux running 20.10.17 linux/amd64, linux/arm64, linux/riscv64, linux/ppc64le, linux/s390x, linux/386, linux/arm/v7, linux/arm/v6 ``` This is because the docker driver builders are automatically pulled from the available [Docker Contexts](https://docs.docker.com/engine/context/working-with-contexts/). When you add new contexts using `docker context create`, these will appear in your list of buildx builders. Unlike the [other drivers](../index.md), builders using the docker driver cannot be manually created, and can only be automatically created from the docker context. Additionally, they cannot be configured to a specific BuildKit version, and cannot take any extra parameters, as these are both preset by the Docker engine internally. If you want the extra configuration and flexibility without too much more overhead, then see the help page for the [docker-container driver](./docker-container.md). ## Further reading For more information on the docker driver, see the [buildx reference](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/buildx_create/#driver).
