Problem when run my own base image

General
1

Hi, I created my own base image writing this Dockerfile:

FROM scratch
COPY hello /
CMD ["/hello"]

When I build my own base image apparently everything works fine:

root# docker build -t test1:latest .
Sending build context to Docker daemon 3.072 kB
Step 0 : FROM scratch

Step 1 : COPY hello /
 ---> c5629d3f9ade

Step 2 : CMD /hello
 ---> Running in 88c3a9dda597

But when I run a container from this image appears following error:

root# docker run -d test1
Unable to find image 'test1:latest' locally
Trying to pull repository registry.access.redhat.com/test1 ...

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Hello,

I would recommend using an official build of docker instead of the build in your OS’s repo. Your packager has changed the default/expected behavior of docker.

Uninstall your copy of docker, and there is a script at https://get.docker.com that can be used to install an official build.

Cheers!

Thanks Jeff, but im work in offline host with RHEL 7. I installed Docker via rpm, one to one, and their dependencies. Should be work fine, no?

I need to build my own base image, and install some IBM Software. All offline, with IBM binaries over clear base image. It’s possible?

Thanks.

The redhat version of docker has several changes put in by redhat. One of those changes is this unexpected behavior you are encountering.

I think i found it.

I was using a “hello” bash file with this code:

#!/bin/bash
echo "I say hello"

But doesn’t work. If i compile hello.asm in my RHEL7 host, my base image works fine when I build it, and run it. So this ultra-simple base image needs a compiled hello binary file.

Thanks alike!
