It’s a year old undocumented feature

drone-plugins/drone-docker/blob/master/cmd/drone-docker/main.go#L155

			EnvVar: "PLUGIN_TARGET",
		},
		cli.StringSliceFlag{
			Name:   "cache-from",
			Usage:  "images to consider as cache sources",
			EnvVar: "PLUGIN_CACHE_FROM",

		cli.BoolFlag{

			Usage:  "squash the layers at build time",
			EnvVar: "PLUGIN_SQUASH",
		},
		cli.BoolTFlag{
