Install

linux and darwin, amd64 and arm64. The binaries are static.

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/danecwalker/buidl/main/install.sh | bash

That detects the platform, shows download progress, and verifies the SHA-256 against checksums.txt from the same GitHub release. The binary lands in ~/.local/bin so later buidl update does not need sudo. If that directory is not on PATH, the installer links /usr/local/bin/buidl at it (sudo once). Set BUIDL_INSTALL_DIR to install somewhere else.

Later upgrades are buidl update. Run it without sudo.

linux and darwin, amd64 and arm64. The binaries are static (CGO_ENABLED=0) and built with -trimpath.

go install

With Go 1.25+:

go install github.com/danecwalker/buidl/cmd/buidl@latest

go install does not stamp the version, so the binary reports dev. Use the installer or task install if you need buidl --version to match a tag. buidl update will replace a dev binary with the latest release.

From source

git clone https://github.com/danecwalker/buidl.git
cd buidl
task build      # ./bin/buidl
task install    # $GOPATH/bin/buidl, version stamped from git describe

buidl --version reports the release tag on published binaries and the git describe string on a task install build.

Requirements

  • A BuildKit endpoint, unless build.driver: prebuilt. Discovery order: build.addr, $BUILDKIT_HOST, a rootless socket, /run/buildkit/buildkitd.sock, then a Docker/Podman/nerdctl container named buildkitd (or any running moby/buildkit, including a Buildx builder). If none of those exist, buidl creates moby/buildkit:v0.25.1 as buildkitd.
  • Kubernetes 1.30+, for server-side apply and preStop.sleep.
  • cert-manager if proxy.ssl: true. Set infra.addons.certManagerEmail and buidl installs it.
  • An ingress controller if proxy.host is set.
  • metrics-server if deploy.autoscale is set. buidl installs it on RKE2, or when k3s’s bundled copy has been disabled.
  • For public TLS with an AAAA record: 80 and 443 reachable on IPv6. Let’s Encrypt validates over IPv6 first.
