Is it possible to automatically remove intermediate Docker images?

[carry0987]

As the title suggests, when we configure an action as shown below:

inputs: namespace/image:latest
images: namespace/image:latest-amd64,namespace/image:latest-arm64

It successfully creates the namespace/image with amd64 and arm64 support. However, it also leaves the separate images namespace/image:latest-amd64 and namespace/image:latest-arm64 intact. Is there a way to have these intermediate images removed automatically?

Not really since it needs those both so that container implementations can use x or y depending on the architecture.

If you’re wanting to have one image to support both, this action isn’t for you since you can just use the —-platforms argument in docker buildx build.
