buildx: Error load metadata for docker.io/library/alpine:3.12 with v3.0.1

Worked for me:

1. Create an account on ‘https://hub.docker.com/’
2. Run in terminal: ‘docker login’
3. Authorized in terminal
4. Try run docker build again

Try ‘sudo’ if you are using linux

For the ones for who none of the solutions from the above work, you could try this:

1. Run docker pull ${dockerPkgLink} for pulling the package which docker failed to load metadata for
2. Run docker build again

This worked for me

Docker desktop 20.10.5 on WSL2, removing "credsStore": "desktop.exe", from ~/.docker/config.json does the job (as usual).

Try ‘sudo’ if you are using linux

This worked for me, thanks! Using WSL2 on Windows.

Worked for me:

1. Create an account on ‘https://hub.docker.com/’
2. Run in terminal: ‘docker login’
3. Authorized in terminal
4. Try run docker build again

Worked for me right away after this.

Or even better, rm /Users/<username>/.docker/.token_seed

+1, I was unblocked by setting buildKit to false

docker logout & docker login did not fix the problem for me but after sudo service docker restart the build worked.

How can they expect people to use docker if they make it so damn difficult just to pull an f*in image from the site. I had to identify busses, crosswalks, and bikes - then creat some creditial, then enable 2 factor identification, and I sill can’t build a damn image on my machine. Sheesh.

Happens to me today. I was already logged in and so run docker logout first and next docket login. Thank you @pichkasik for a hint!

Hello, the commands below worked for me.

export DOCKER_BUILDKIT=0 export COMPOSE_DOCKER_CLI_BUILD=0

try sudo on macOS as well

If nothing above help, you can check Dockerfile if there’s something typo, such as a wrong version etc.

Docker desktop 20.10.5 on WSL2, removing "credsStore": "desktop.exe", from ~/.docker/config.json does the job (as usual).

This works on me too. Thanks! 😃

Also getting this error. Freshly installed docker on WSL2 and this error started happening after a few hours:

Same here, i have issue with buildkit. Once I set DOCKER_BUILDKIT=0 or change Docker Desktop preference to buildkit: false, everything work just fine. If is Dockerfile issue, both settings should fail, but the problem seems to be more on buildkit. I am using Docker verison 20.10.8

For the ones for who none of the solutions from the above work, you could try this:

1. Run docker pull ${dockerPkgLink} for pulling the package which docker failed to load metadata for
2. Run docker build again

This worked for me

This worked for me. Thanks.

work for me docker pull node:14-alpine before

thanks, worked for me

Worked for me:

1. Add Docker Desktop.exe to $PATH
2. Profit!

In my case I was loading a Dockerfile:

FROM riscv64/debian:latest

WORKDIR /app
COPY . /app

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install build-essential cmake -y

CMD ["cmake --version"]

The error returned was:

ERROR [internal] load metadata for docker.io/riscv64/debian:latest

When visiting Docker hub, I noticed there was no tag called latest https://hub.docker.com/r/riscv64/debian/tags

Changing to a valid tag fixed the issue:

FROM riscv64/debian:sid-slim

WORKDIR /app
COPY . /app

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install build-essential cmake -y

CMD ["cmake --version"]

Make sure the Docker image AND tag exist, otherwise you will recieve an error.

Or even better, rm /Users/<username>/.docker/.token_seed

this is the only thing that worked for me

1. Run docker pull ${dockerPkgLink} for pulling the package which docker failed to load metadata for
2. Run docker build again

Yeah, it works for me! Thanks mate. Anyway I still trying to understand why this issue came suddenly. I am working on Windows 10 and WSL2 (Ubuntu 20.04).

In my case it was the proxy. I just disabled it in Docker Desktop and everything worked again.

Update: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64382812/docker-has-the-same-error-regardless-of-what-i-try-to-build-windows-10 helped me get rid of the issue.

This works for me, I deactived buildkit following https://stackoverflow.com/a/64466563

I installed Docker desktop on Windows 10 Edu with Debian for WSL2. I wanted to build the app of the tutorial https://docs.docker.com/get-started/02_our_app/ with a terminal connected to my Debian. I got the error of this issue when I was on Debian, but not on Windows with the powershell.

I still don’t know why it has worked.

Update: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64382812/docker-has-the-same-error-regardless-of-what-i-try-to-build-windows-10 helped me get rid of the issue.

For me, it worked only after I changed: FROM envoyproxy/envoy:v1.17.1 to FROM docker.io/envoyproxy/envoy:v1.17.1
