Docker Local Build

Build all Kurtosis components from source and test them locally on Docker.

Overview

This skill builds the full Kurtosis stack for local Docker testing:

• Engine — Docker image kurtosistech/engine
• Core (APIC) — Docker image kurtosistech/core
• Files Artifacts Expander — Docker image kurtosistech/files-artifacts-expander
• CLI — binary at .tmp/kurtosis, installed to /usr/local/bin/kurtosis

All images are tagged with the current git short SHA (+ -dirty if uncommitted changes exist) via scripts/get-docker-tag.sh. The same tag is compiled into the CLI as KurtosisVersion.

Quick build (recommended)

Run the wrapper script from the repo root. It handles version generation, image builds, CLI compilation, installation, and engine reset:
