Description

Attempting to output multiple targets to a single tarball results in a single random target being contained in the tarball, instead of all of them.

Expected behaviour

The generated tarball contains all images

Actual behaviour

The generated tarball contains a random image

Configuration

With the following files,

docker-bake.hcl:

group "default" {
  targets = ["redis", "python"]
}

target "redis" {
    dockerfile = "Dockerfile_redis"
    output = ["type=docker,dest=images.tar"]
    tags = ["test_redis:latest"]
}

target "python" {
    dockerfile = "Dockerfile_python"
    output = ["type=docker,dest=images.tar"]
    tags = ["test_python:latest"]
}

Dockerfile_python:

FROM python:3.11-alpine

Dockerfile_redis:

FROM redis:7-alpine

docker buildx bake -f docker-bake.hcl

Research direction

Start with docker-bake.hcl, Dockerfile_redis, and Dockerfile_python, then run the reported docker buildx bake command to reproduce the tarball contents. Trace how the bake command handles multiple targets sharing type=docker,dest=images.tar, and consider the work complete when the generated tarball contains both images rather than one random target.
