System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Build and test Kurtosis from source on local Docker.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • End-to-end local build: compile Engine, Core (APIC), and Files Artifacts Expander, plus the CLI binary.
  • Version tagging & consistency: images are tagged with the git short SHA (plus -dirty if needed) and the same tag is embedded into the CLI as KurtosisVersion.
  • Engine reset & quick validation: after building, the workflow restarts the engine to provide a clean test environment.

Quick Start

Use the local-build script from the repo root to perform a full build, install the CLI, and reset the engine.
