Configuring your GitHub Actions builder — Append additional nodes to the builder
Buildx supports running builds on multiple machines. This is useful for building multi-platform images on native nodes for more complicated cases that aren't handled by QEMU. Building on native nodes generally has better performance, and allows you to distribute the build across multiple machines. Y

Buildx supports running builds on multiple machines. This is useful for building multi-platform images on native nodes for more complicated cases that aren't handled by QEMU. Building on native nodes generally has better performance, and allows you to distribute the build across multiple machines.
You can append nodes to the builder you're creating using the append option. It takes input in the form of a YAML string document to remove limitations intrinsically linked to GitHub Actions: you can only use strings in the input fields
Here is an example using remote nodes with the remote driver and TLS authentication
Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):
```yaml
name: ci
on:
push:
jobs:
buildx:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Set up Docker Buildx
uses: docker/setup-buildx-action@{{% param "setup_buildx_action_version" %}}
with:
driver: remote
endpoint: tcp://oneprovider:1234
append: |
- endpoint: tcp://graviton2:1234
platforms: linux/arm64
- endpoint: tcp://linuxone:1234
platforms: linux/s390x
env:
BUILDER_NODE_0_AUTH_TLS_CACERT: ${{ secrets.ONEPROVIDER_CA }}
BUILDER_NODE_0_AUTH_TLS_CERT: ${{ secrets.ONEPROVIDER_CERT }}
BUILDER_NODE_0_AUTH_TLS_KEY: ${{ secrets.ONEPROVIDER_KEY }}
BUILDER_NODE_1_AUTH_TLS_CACERT: ${{ secrets.GRAVITON2_CA }}
BUILDER_NODE_1_AUTH_TLS_CERT: ${{ secrets.GRAVITON2_CERT }}
