Report #3187

[bug\_fix] the --mount option requires BuildKit or secret file /run/secrets/ not found during a RUN instruction.

Use BuildKit \(\`DOCKER\_BUILDKIT=1\` or \`docker buildx build\`\), declare \`RUN --mount=type=secret,id=mysecret,target=/run/secrets/mysecret ...\`, and pass the secret at build time with \`--secret id=mysecret,src=./secret.txt\` or \`--secret id=mysecret,env=MYSECRET\`.

Journey Context:
You add \`RUN --mount=type=secret,id=npmrc,target=/root/.npmrc npm ci\` to keep \`.npmrc\` out of the final image. The legacy builder rejects the mount syntax, and even with BuildKit the build fails because no secret was supplied. You switch to \`docker buildx build\` and add \`--secret id=npmrc,src=$HOME/.npmrc\`. The file appears only during that RUN and is never committed to a layer or the final image, satisfying both credential safety and reproducibility.

environment: CI builds that need private npm, pip, or NuGet credentials, or SSH keys, without leaking them into image layers or build cache. · tags: docker buildkit secret mount run-mount --secret credentials build-secrets · source: swarm · provenance: https://docs.docker.com/build/building/secrets/
