Description

docker compose up fails to create a container that mounts a type: image volume with Error response from daemon: No such image: sha256:<digest> even though the referenced image exists locally.

This was caught by openQA when running your tests and these failed: TestImageVolume & TestImageVolumeRecreateOnRebuild.

Steps To Reproduce

Scenario 1: built image

mkdir -p /tmp/imgvol-repro && cd /tmp/imgvol-repro

cat > Dockerfile <<'EOF'
FROM alpine
RUN echo hello > /content.txt
EOF

cat > compose.yaml <<'EOF'
services:
  source:
    build: .
    image: imgvol-source

  consumer:
    image: alpine
    depends_on:
      - source
    command: ["cat", "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/data/content.txt"]
    volumes:
      - type: image
        source: imgvol-source
        target: /data
EOF

docker compose -p imgvol-repro up --build

Result:

 ✘ service:consumer:1                Error response from daemon: No such image: sha256:8d32cebc29f3dd77e043c002d09576aef8a85f58f0265541b1c082d65b3ec799                                  0.0s
Error response from daemon: No such image: sha256:8d32cebc29f3dd77e043c002d09576aef8a85f58f0265541b1c082d65b3ec799

Expected: consumer is created and prints hello.

Scenario 2: pulled image, second run

cat > compose-pull.yaml <<'EOF'
services:
  consumer:
    image: alpine
    command: ["ls", "-la", "/data"]
    volumes:
      - type: image
        source: nginx:alpine
        target: /data
        image:
          subpath: usr/share/nginx/html/
EOF

First run: nginx:alpine is not yet present locally
docker compose -f compose-pull.yaml -p imgvol-repro up

Result: succeeds, consumer lists the mounted files.

Second run: nginx:alpine is now present locally from the first run

docker compose -f compose-pull.yaml -p imgvol-repro up

Result:

  ✘ service:consumer:1 Error response from daemon: No such image: sha256:1d40e3eb3bf4f138de1d67193f2aa5309fcaf343eb5ffadbf5e9439de1eb1ebb

Expected: identical successful result to the first run.

Anything else?

For some reason this was not caught by your CI. This was caught in openQA when testing the latest opensuse Tumbleweed snapshot 20260804:
