# Some Ideas of how to use Buildkit inside Buildpacks

## Current Situation

## What if ... ?

### Reimplement the interaction with the Daemon

As far I understand, the Buildkit could help us on solving the performance issues pulling the image from the Docker Daemon. In such as case, maybe we can replace the whole **Launch Cache** (Implemented only to workaround the slowness of the Daemon)

### Buildpacks offers an official Buildkit frontend 

Premises:

* Users uses docker on their local machines
* Users want to run their images using Docker CLI
* Users DO NOT want to build their images using Dockerfiles

There are some previous work on this:

* [ Eric Hripko's](https://github.com/EricHripko/cnbp) frontend implementation 
* [Buildkit-pack](https://github.com/tonistiigi/buildkit-pack) frontend

Do we only need to export the image in OCI format to be loaded into the Daemon by Pack or something like that?
