Error: Unable to load metadata on arm64v8

[amoya-revo]

Environment

• Platform:arm64v8
• Docker Version:26.1.3, build b72abbb
• Node.js Version:20
• Image Tag:lts-alpine

Expected Behavior

It should be able to get the image and metadata from repositosy

Current Behavior

Docker is not being able to locate the metadata. This behavior started on 24/Jun/2024 on tag latest and today is affecting other images (alpine3.19, alpine-lts)

Possible Solution

Steps to Reproduce

build an image using arm64v8 alpine images

Additional Information

[yosifkit]

The arm64v8/node images are now an image index (with a provenance and SBOM doc), so if they are pulled from a non-arm64v8 host then a platform specification (like --platform=linux/arm64) is required for docker to pull it correctly.

Thanks a lot! It worked as a charm

[amoya-revo]

Thanks again

Out of curiosity is there a workaround for this ? When using gitlab ci there is sadly no current way to specify --platform when they pull the image so the newer images break...

@natcl are you trying to build cross-platform? If not dropping the architecture namespace should do the trick

[natcl]

Yes in my case I'm trying to build arm64 on AMD64...
I was able to get around by fetching a generic arm64v8/alpine image and installing node manually in it, that specific image doesn't trigger the same error. Wish gitlab would fix the issue however...

[natcl]

For anyone having the same issue with gitlab, the support for platform is actually in the latest runners:
https://docs.gitlab.com/17.1/ee/ci/yaml/#imagedocker

[amoya-revo]

if it helps in any form, this is my dockerfile including the platform specification - in stage 2

# Use a multi-stage build to reduce the image size
# Stage 1: Build the application
FROM node:latest as builder
WORKDIR /usr/src/app
COPY ./package*.json ./
RUN npm install
COPY . .
RUN npm run build

# Stage 2: Setup the production environment
FROM --platform=linux/arm64 arm64v8/node:lts-alpine
WORKDIR /usr/src/app
COPY --from=builder /usr/src/app/dist ./dist
COPY --from=builder /usr/src/app/node_modules ./node_modules
EXPOSE 3000
CMD [ "node", "dist/main"]

Interesting, can be a nice workaround !
