You can use reproducible-containers/buildkit-cache-dance to reuse cached files in your Docker build and an action like tespkg/actions-cache or actions/cache to persist the cache externally. See GitHub repo for an example setup.

  concurrent, cache-efficient, and Dockerfile-agnostic builder toolkit

  

The currently proposed solution is to allow Docker to bind the cache directory in the build to a directory on the host. This way the cache could be persisted externally. However, this issue has been opened for almost 4 years (May 27, 2020) with no clear answer as to whether it'll be implemented any time soon.

This is where the reproducible-containers/buildkit-cache-dance GitHub Action comes to the rescue! This Action is able to extract the files from the Docker build so they can be persisted on an external storage like S3 and is the approach recommended on the official Docker documentation.
