docker build --platform=linux/amd64 fails: ERROR: failed to solve: no match for platform in manifest

On a Macbook M2 machine I am getting an error when creating a docker build.

This is the most boiled down example that can reproduce the error:

echo "FROM alpine:latest" | docker build --platform=linux/amd64 --progress=plain -f - .

error message

Notice the error in the last line:

#5 ERROR: no match for platform in manifest sha256:d9ab3e9e8a65da61fb54c3e2471c8fabf787ce49403919bff7eaf10f99e33215: not found

However, I can run any of the images easily if I do either:

$ docker run --rm -ti --platform linux/amd64 alpine:latest uname -a
Linux b2a7299eadea 5.15.49-linuxkit #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Sep 13 07:51:32 UTC 2022 x86_64 Linux
$ docker run --rm -ti --platform linux/arm64 alpine:latest uname -a
Linux 00ecc31c7eeb 5.15.49-linuxkit #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Sep 13 07:51:32 UTC 2022 aarch64 Linux

so there is a problem if I want to build an image, but no problem if I try to run it.

Troubleshooting:

  1. My machine is ARM-based apple M2 processor:
$ uname -a
Darwin 22.5.0 Darwin Kernel Version 22.5.0: Mon Apr 24 20:53:19 PDT 2023; root:xnu-8796.121.2~5/RELEASE_ARM64_T6020 arm64
  1. I know that rosetta qemu emulation works, because I can run
$ docker run --rm -ti --platform linux/amd64 alpine:latest uname -m
x86_64
  1. docker builder is correctly configured for multiplatform builds:
$ docker builder ls
NAME/NODE       DRIVER/ENDPOINT STATUS  BUILDKIT PLATFORMS
default *       docker                           
  default       default         running v0.11.6  linux/arm64, linux/riscv64, linux/ppc64le, linux/s390x, linux/386, linux/mips64le, linux/mips64
desktop-linux   docker                           
  desktop-linux desktop-linux   running v0.11.6  linux/arm64, linux/riscv64, linux/ppc64le, linux/s390x, linux/386, linux/mips64le, linux/mips64

question:

so the question is: How can I use docker build and actually save a docker image locally?

Solution

  • Your error should be related to this open issue https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/44578 that enter into Docker Desktop 4.20.

    As a workaround, you should disable the flag Use containerd for pulling and storing images within the feature of Docker Desktop to solve it.

    You find the setting Use containerd for pulling and storing images in Docker Desktop, "Settings" > "Features in development"
