Docker container failing to build from base image

Question

When I run docker-compose build to build my container using Docker Desktop for Windows, I get the following output:

This causes the build to fail.

I'm not sure how to debug this as I'm not very familiar with Docker. My internet connection seems to be fine and it always fails at the same step no matter how many times I run it. So far, I've tried the following:

• Reinstalling Docker Desktop
• Restarting my dev machine.
• Uninstalling Android Studio
• The Clean / Purge data option in the Troubleshooting menu.
• The Reset to factory defaults option.
• Disabling my firewall.
• Closing everything but Docker + PowerShell and running the command again.
• Running the drive error checker tool in Windows and there were no errors.
• Adding the --no-cache flag to the build command.
• Running docker-compose build --no-cache in an administrative Command Prompt.
• Uncheck Experimental features in Docker Desktop.
• Check for updates.
• Checking .git was added to the .dockerignore file.
• Checking I'm not on a metered connection.
• Logging in with docker login.
• Logging out and then in again with docker logout and docker login.

Answer 1

A coworker of mine was able to solve this issue by downgrading Docker from 4.24.1 back to 4.22.0 and doing a full system reset afterwards (not sure if that was necessary, you could try just the downgrade first).

This was a Windows-specific issue; other people with Docker Desktop for Mac did not encounter this.
