buildx: 'docker build' error: "failed to solve with frontend dockerfile.v0"

Name the file Dockerfile exactly. I got the same error because i named it DockerFile

Hi, I had the same issue and I could finally solve it by disabling buildkit feature as explained here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64382812/docker-has-the-same-error-regardless-of-what-i-try-to-build-windows-10

Simply change name of “dockerfile” to “Dockerfile” and then build, it works for me.

The solution is in https://github.com/docker/buildx/issues/415#issuecomment-716606000

changing name ‘Dockerfile’ from ‘dockerfile’ also worked for me

@tonistiigi file name is not the only issue here, or I have just another bug

Here is what I face when running docker build command:

failed to solve with frontend dockerfile.v0: failed to build LLB: failed to load cache key: rpc error: code = Unknown desc = error getting credentials - err: exec: "docker-credential-desktop.exe": executable file not found in $PATH, out: ``

Renaming "credsStore": "desktop.exe" to "credStore": "desktop.exe" in ~/.docker/config.json is what helped me actually, but it seems like Docker Destkop keeps adding credsStore entry in that config file

edit by @tonistiigi : please see https://github.com/docker/buildx/issues/415#issuecomment-762233853 before following this advice

I just hit the same issue. I use the WSL2 engine, which is of course case-sensitive. The command sent to docker from Visual Studio is specifying a fully lowercase path, which breaks the command of course.

For anyone stumbling across this issue on mac… failed to solve with frontend dockerfile.v0: failed to create LLB definition: rpc error: code = Unknown desc = failed to parse /Users/myusername/.docker/.token_seed: unexpected end of JSON input

I just deleted .token_seed and .token_seed.lock inside of /Users/myusename/.docker

@nromagno Sure thing.

Click on this little bug icon up to the right, and then you’ll see the following settings:

I think I might have also reset to factory settings. Not sure though

even the tutorial in a fresh Docker Desktop installation fails…

I had this same problem. Just Sgin in in your Docker account

Same here: failed to solve with frontend dockerfile.v0: failed to build LLB: $ docker --version Docker version 19.03.13, build 4484c46d9d

Deleting docker config file from inside WSL2 Ubuntu shell fixed it for me:

rm ~/.docker/config.json

I’m using Windows 10.

Well, docker message is confusing. In my case I just used invalid working directory (so I just have to cd to the right subdir with my Dockerfile).

Instead of explaining message like “No Dockerfile found, looked at current working directory /foo/bar” on my docker build --no-cache --tag jaroslavtyc/pb-web:8.0 . command I saw

I tired this and it finally worked! thanks!

I had the same issue (on a Mac). running a test from my home directory /Users/norm failed to solve with frontend dockerfile.v0: failed to build LLB: error from sender: open .Trash: operation not permitted

I moved the Dockerfile out of my home directory into a subdirectory (/Users/norm/test/) and was able to build without the above error when executed from /Users/norm/test/. Seems permission related`

even the tutorial in a fresh Docker Desktop installation fails…

I was having the “failed to solve with frontend dockerfile.v0: failed to create LLB definition: rpc error: code = Unknown desc = error getting credentials” issue under Docker Desktop Windows/WSL2.

Running with sudo worked for me.

Same issue with Github Actions ubuntu-latest. https://github.com/Cytrus-RE/debia/runs/1643130474?check_suite_focus=true

This may help someone else: The instructions say to make sure you are in the directory “node-bulletin-board/bulletin-board-app” and I was getting the above error when running in “node-bulletin-board”. Changed into the bulletin-board-app child directory and it ran. Naturally I only re-read the doc after trying everything else.

Window 10 Home restart worked for me

My issue was regarding the permissions to download the FROM image

I ran the docker build command as following:

sudo docker build -t myapp .

Also the docker file was named ‘Dockerfile’

That worked for me

Renaming credsStore to credStore would be the equivalent to removing the credsStore config (which makes docker skip the credentials-helper, and to store credentials as base64 encoded plain text in the configuration file).

@tonistiigi file name is not the only issue here, or I have just another bug

Here is what I face when running docker build command:

Crazy, this worked for me. Thanks!

Win 10 Pro WSL2 Ubuntu 20.04

I had that issue on my mac as well

this worked for me. thanks!

I tried many options but unfortunately didn’t helped, and I realized that my Dockerfile was mistakenly inside /app/src, moved Dockerfile back to root, and it just WORKED!! 💯

FROM node:latest

RUN mkdir -p /app/src

WORKDIR /app/src

COPY package.json .

RUN npm install

COPY . .

EXPOSE 3000

CMD ["npm", "start"]
