How to solve the problem with starting devcontainer? - docker

Question

I tried to run devcontainer. Set up files:
devcontainer.json
{
"name": "C++",
"build": {
"dockerfile": "Dockerfile"
},
"features": {
"ghcr.io/devcontainers/features/git:1": {}
}
}
Dockerfile
FROM mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/cpp:0-debian-11
ARG REINSTALL_CMAKE_VERSION_FROM_SOURCE="3.22.2"
# Optionally install the cmake for vcpkg
COPY ./reinstall-cmake.sh /tmp/
RUN if [ "${REINSTALL_CMAKE_VERSION_FROM_SOURCE}" != "none" ]; then \
chmod +x /tmp/reinstall-cmake.sh && /tmp/reinstall-cmake.sh ${REINSTALL_CMAKE_VERSION_FROM_SOURCE}; \
fi \
&& rm -f /tmp/reinstall-cmake.sh
But when i try to run devcontainer i get error:

How can I fix this problem?
Of the attempts, I can note the update of Docker Desktop, the update of wsl

Answer 1

The problem seems to be related to the use of BuildKit and Inline Cache in Docker.
The work-around suggested here is either:
To disable BuildKit in Docker:
Under Linux:
# in /etc/bash.bashrc
export DOCKER_BUILDKIT=0
Under Docker Dashboard:
Go to Settings > Docker Engine and set 'buildkit' to 'false':
"features": {
"buildkit": true
},
To disable the Inline Cache, either:
in the Dockerfile :
"args": {
"BUILDKIT_INLINE_CACHE": "0"
}
in the devcontainer.json:
"build": {
"dockerfile": "Dockerfile",
"args": {
"BUILDKIT_INLINE_CACHE": "0"
}
},
in the docker-compose.yml:
services:
app:
build:
context: .
dockerfile: Dockerfile
args:
BUILDKIT_INLINE_CACHE: 0
