Since we can’t copy from an image and search for an error message or just quote a relevant part, we prefer sharing code, texts and terminal outputs as code blocks. Not to mention that depending on what device we use the forum from, the text on the image can be hard to see. Please, follow the below guide when posting:

How to format your forum posts

The Docker forum is using Discourse, which supports several ways to format your posts: Markdown; see commonmark.org/help for an interactive tutorial BBCode A small selection of HTML Any combination of the above Blank lines for formatting and readability Quite often you’ll need an empty line above specific formatting to make it work. You also need to type blank lines to create proper paragraphs; just pressing Return once and then typing a new block of text right below a previous block only…

and share images only when you can’t copy texts or when the text is not the important part. Please, answer the following questions too:

• Do you use Docker Desktop? I’m pretty sure you do, but you didn’t mention it and you opened the topic in the “Docker Hub” category. I gues you have no problem with Docker Hub,…
• Cany ou access that lock file from outside vscode?
• Have you checked the ownership and permissions of that file?
• Do you remember anything that happened before you started to et this message? For example a Docker Desktop update or Docker Desktop crash, or moved .docker fodler to a new user home?
