"oel7:7-slim as OS_UPDATE" is not a valid repository/tag: invalid reference format about weblogic-image-tool HOT 7 CLOSED

I haven't seen this issue before. I tagged an OEL image locally with the same name on my machine but don't get any errors.

For example:
[laptop]:bin $ docker tag oraclelinux:7-slim oel7:7-slim
[laptop]:bin $ imagetool create --tag derek:2 --fromImage oel7:7-slim
[INFO ] Temporary directory used for docker build context: /Users/xxxx/wlsimgbuilder_temp1134269872710003830

My only guess is that the docker version you are running has a bug or doesn't support something in this Dockerfile.

My docker client version is 19.03.1 on Mac, and 18.09.7 on Linux. Your version is 1.x which seems way off.

Well I also run a successful build on 19.03.1 on Mac see previous issue that I reported.
This error message appear when I moved to RedHat EL7 with Docker version docker-1.13.1-96 which is the packaged version distributed with RHEL7.

I will see if I can get RedHat Docker CE or RedHat Docker EE installed to try to solve this error which is reported in many cases to "attempting to try to build a multi layered image" in a docker version that does not support it.

You can run with the command line option "--cleanup false" to save the Docker build folder for image tool. The tmp directory that the tool creates with the installers, Dockerfile, etc. will not be deleted at the end of the run. Then, you can go to the wlsimgbuilder_tempXXXX folder and view the Dockerfile or even rerun the docker build command manually. Once you see the message "Sending build context to Docker daemon", imagetool has initiated the Docker build command and everything except for cleanup is running inside of Docker.

I believe I have found the cause for the error.

Similar error reported:
spotify/docker-maven-plugin#264
Also note that multistage builds (FROM xxx as yyy) are supported from Docker 17.05 onwards.

Docker docs:
https://docs.docker.com/develop/develop-images/multistage-build/
Multi-stage builds are a new feature requiring Docker 17.05 or higher on the daemon and client.

Imagetool uses multistage builds here:
Create_Image.mustache
...
FROM {{baseImage}} as OS_UPDATE
...
FROM OS_UPDATE as WLS_BUILD
...

So it seems that I need to upgrade to a RHEL7 docker version that is the equivalent of higher than Docker 17.05.

from weblogic-image-tool.

Would it be possible to add functionality to have Imagetool to work with out multistage docker builds in order to support RHEL7 docker-1.13.1-96 ?

Ie a second Create_Image.mustache file that does not use multistage builds and have a command line option to choose between them and keep the current multistage build as the default.

from weblogic-image-tool.

While it would be possible to support older Docker versions, the demand for this feature would need to be significantly higher before it would be worth the added support cost. Writing the new mustache template would be relatively easy, but the cost of extra testing and keeping the templates in sync is not justified at this time.

Unable to find functionality matrix showing RHEL7 docker-1.13.1-96 and the Docker CE / EE version (YY-MM) for comparison.
