docker buildx inspect [options] [name]

docker buildx inspect prints details about the current builder, or a named builder if name is given. The report includes the builder name, driver, last activity, and each node: endpoint, driver options, status, BuildKit version, platforms, labels, and garbage-collection policy.Platforms marked with an asterisk (\*) were set explicitly with docker buildx create --platform. Unmarked platforms were detected automatically.--bootstrap is useful for docker-container builders that are not running yet. It pulls the BuildKit image if needed, creates the container, and waits until the node is up. Builds already bootstrap the same container, so this flag is only needed when you want the inspect output of a live node without running a build.

--bootstrap

Start the builder (for example the BuildKit container) and wait until it is operational before printing details.

Override the default timeout for loading builder status (default: 20s).

Target a specific builder instance (overrides the currently selected builder).

A builder that is inactive or unreachable within --timeout may show incomplete status. The default docker driver has no separate BuildKit container, so --bootstrap has little effect there. docker --debug buildx inspect prints extra diagnostic fields that the default output omits.
