How can we create single mender artifact for multiple dockers i.e for edgex.yml, which involves more than 12 dockers and dependency between them as well?

Just add all of them to DOCKER\_IMAGES in your command, creating a list like DOCKER\_IMAGES=“hello-world my-other-image-1 my-other-image-2”.

After you created the Artifact, you can inspect it with mender-artifact read and see the images that the device will pull. While pulling for the images, docker will take care of the dependencies as well.
