Remote-Buildkit is a bash script that automates the setup of a remote build environment using BuildKit on AWS EC2 instances. It leverages Terraform for provisioning and Ansible for configuration, streamlining the creation and integration of a remote BuildKit instance with your local machine.

• Automated Provisioning: Utilizes Terraform to automatically provision AWS EC2 instances.
• Configuration Management: Ansible scripts configure the instances by installing Docker and the BuildKit daemon.
• Local Integration: Bash script connects the remote BuildKit instance with your local development machine for easy access and control.

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed on your local machine:

• Terraform
• Ansible
• AWS CLI
• Docker

Additionally, you will need:

• An AWS account
• Configured AWS CLI with appropriate permissions to create and manage EC2 instances, security groups, etc.
• Set the following environment variables for AWS access:

  export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="your_access_key_id"
  export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="your_secret_access_key"

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/remote-buildkit.git
   cd remote-buildkit

2. Deploy remote buildkit instance:

   ./deploy_builder.sh {name}

3. Remove remote buildkit instance:

   ./remove_builder.sh {name}

After deployment, the remote BuildKit instance will be connected to your local machine. To verify the connection and see your BuildKit instance listed among available builders, use:

docker buildx ls

You can customize the Ansible playbook and Terraform scripts to tweak the configuration of the AWS resources according to your needs.
