Why do containers fail to fetch URIs in DC/OS? - docker

Question

I have created a cluster on Digital Ocean (DC/OS 1.9) using terraform following these instructions here
Everything seems to have installed correctly, to pull from a private docker repo, I need to add a compressed .docker file to my /core/home/ and fetch it during deployment by including it in my JSON.
"fetch":[
{
"uri":"file:///home/core/docker.tar.gz"
}
]
Based on these instructions: https://docs.mesosphere.com/1.9/deploying-services/momee/docker-creds-agent/
And I'm still getting errors:
Failed to launch container:
Failed to fetch all URIs for container 'abc123-xxxxx' with exit status: 256
Upon looking at the logs of one of the agents:

Answer 1

You are missing the extract instruction:
"fetch":[
{
"uri":"file:///home/core/docker.tar.gz",
"extract":true
}
]
