How to turn on layering of build pack generated docker image in Spring Boot, using the the gradle plugin

Question

In this video , Phil Webb describes how to turn on layering of a Spring Boot docker image built by build packs, by adding the layers enabled true configuration for the maven plugin. How do you configure the gradle plugin to do the same ? I can't see any reference to this in the reference manual for the gradle plugin.

Answer 1

It turns out you configure the bootRun task, not the bootBuildImage task, like so:

tasks.bootJar {
  layered()
}
