What is the use of manifest list in context of docker containers?

I am trying to pull a image from docker hub using a command on windows server 2016

docker pull alpine

The command returns an error as follows no supported platform found in manifest list

I am not sure what is manifest list and how is this related? Thanks for help.

Solution

  • This might be due to OS compatibility as specified here

    To resolve this try to Right click on Docker and select Switch to Windows containers or try adding the --experimental flag to see if it works.
