Please format your post according:

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…

Furthermore, provide more context information. We can not guess what you did and how exactly you did it. Remember: answers can only be as good as the question and the information provided with it.

Sorry, but reading an issue is “urgent” is rarely makes me reply faster as everyone’s issue could be urgent. The best way to get quicker responses is

• taking time to open a topic in the right category so people will not turn around thinking they can’t help with Docker Hub, If it is indeed related to Docker Hub, since you also added “dockerhub” as a tag, please, explain how.
• choosing the right title, so even the title makes it obvious what “DevOps” you mean
• and as @meyay pointed out, formatting your post properly. Every technical forum supports code blocks, usually in MarkDown format and you can usually find a button right above the message field and you can immediately see that something is wrong in the preview or after posting the question so you can edit it.
• Quoting the exact error messages. Is the second one really starts with “Terror”? Possible, but strange. I found it only on stackoverflow, but that was your question too: python - Docker error of overlay on DevOps used to work earlier - Stack Overflow

What you cana lso do is searching for the error message. The part that looks the most relevant part. In your case “failed to solve: cannot replace to directory” or just “cannot replace to directory”, since the rest of the message would be different for everyone.

For example:

cannot replace to directory /var/lib/docker/overlay2/if2ip5okvavl8u6jpdtpczuog/merged/app/node_modules/@ampproject/remapping with file

It would also be imortant to know how you run the build command and at what point the build fails. We only see (almost) a Dockerfile but the error message should follow the information when the build failed.

Since you add the current directory from the host to the image filesystem’s root, and the error message says:

“cannot replace to directory <path>/bin with file”, you probably have a file in your project root named “bin” probably acidentally created.
