Error: multiple platforms feature is currently not supported for docker driver

whayes · May 21, 2022, 9:52pm

I’m getting the following error when I try to start this application up using docker-compose on a M1 Mac:

[+] Building 0.0s (0/0)
multiple platforms feature is currently not supported for docker driver. Please switch to a different driver (eg. "docker buildx create --use")

I’ve tried to follow the advice here: [Docker] Docker buildx support multiple architectures images | Cloud-oriented Life but no change.

My environment:

Docker Desktop: Engine: 20.10.14, Compose: v2.5.1
Mac M1 OS 12.2.1

When running the following:

To start and run application locally for development:

docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64 -f Dockerfile.dev .; docker-compose up

Docker Compose file:

I could not reproduce your issue with Docker Compose v2.5.1 on Mac M1. It is true, docker itself does not support building for multiple platforms, but Docker Desktop can emulate platforms so it should have worked. I tried on Linux too (amd64) and I could not get the same error message.

Have you changed the builder configuration?

docker builder list

update:
The above command is wrong! I meant the following:

docker buildx ls

whayes · May 22, 2022, 11:08pm

I’m using Docker Desktop for Mac - 4.8.2 (79419)

When I run docker builder list - that subcommand is not found. I get the following.

> docker builder list

Usage:  docker builder COMMAND

Manage builds

Commands:
  build       Build an image from a Dockerfile
  prune       Remove build cache

Run 'docker builder COMMAND --help' for more information on a command.

Am I missing something?

Thanks!

Additional info that might be helpful to understand this

My Docker Engine v20.10.14 Configuration:

{
  "builder": {
    "gc": {
      "defaultKeepStorage": "20GB",
      "enabled": true
    }
  },
  "experimental": true,
  "features": {
    "buildkit": true
  }
}

docker buildx ls results

No. Sorry, I meant docker buildx ls. I wrote my previous post too quickly.

It looks like your config is the same as mine including the versions, so I don’t know why it does not work for you.

The only difference I can see between your build and mine is that I could not try the whole Dockerfile since I don’t have the files from the host, but I doubt that could cause the error message. I only tried it with the first line where the platform is defined.

Check this link [Docker] Docker buildx support multiple architectures images | Cloud-oriented Life

whayes · May 23, 2022, 7:36pm

So I nuked my entire installation (Docker for Desktop) and re-installed from scratch. Everything is now working fine (which makes me happy and sad at the same time )

Thanks everyone for your help and letting me know that it should work fine with no special configuration needed!

parkerlockhart · June 7, 2022, 10:55pm

I’m running into this also with the same setup. I’m going to try a reinstall of Docker Desktop as well, but I wonder what’s causing it!

jaraco · June 13, 2022, 1:49am

I to encountered this error. I uninstalled and reinstalled Docker Desktop, but the error remains.

Edit: So I had not followed the instructions closely enough. It does seem that it’s necessary to first follow the instructions at the link provided by edimoto.

whayes · June 13, 2022, 10:32am

When I said nuked my Docker installation above I should have been clearer, it meant: 1. uninstall 2. clean out all files left over 3. install 4. do a docker system reset just to make sure I didn’t have anything left over.

Hello, stumbled upon this post googling and decided to make an account to reply what worked for us.

We came across the same error message about

[+] Building 0.0s (0/0)
multiple platforms feature is currently not supported [...]

What worked for my team, and I was commenting out the
platform: linux/amd64 portion of our docker-compose.yml file. Once I did that the container was able to re-build OK.

Hope that works!

Hey, no need to completely wipe your Docker Desktop!

I ran into the same/similar Issue today after Upgrading to Docker-Desktop 4.14.0 (91374) on M1.
Buildx starts complaining with this (no issues running the identical command the day before):

$ docker buildx build --no-cache --platform=linux/amd64,linux/arm64/v8,linux/arm/v7 -t <repo>:latest --push .
[+] Building 0.0s (0/0)
ERROR: multiple platforms feature is currently not supported for docker driver. Please switch to a different driver (eg. "docker buildx create --use")

I just recreated a new Buildx Instance using the docker-container driver, tell Docker to use it and it started working again

$ docker buildx create --use desktop-linux
pedantic_goodall

Of course you can tweak a bit more using docker buildx create --use desktop-linux

kaushikvijayakumar · December 19, 2022, 10:38am

docker buildx create --name multiarch --driver docker-container --use
This solved the issue for me

ojoadeolagabriel · January 7, 2023, 4:43pm

Hi, fortunately you may not need to nuke you setup. Simply docker buildx rm <name_of_builder>

should suffice. Then recreate with docker buildx create. Hope this helps someone
