When I try to do a Docker Build using Docker as usual, I get the error message in the image and cannot Build. What should I do in this case? By the way, Docker's version is 23.0.1. (https://i.stack.imgur.com/AzgNi.png)(https://i.stack.imgur.com/PIryk.png) (https://i.stack.imgur.com/kMF5Y.png)

When I uninstall docker buildx and then Build, I get other warning errors and the Build itself works, but parallel processing cannot be performed. My ideal would be to use Buildx to do a parallel Build.

I also had a similar issue with version 23.0.2. For me it was missing buildx package. Following command solved the issue.

apt-get install docker-buildx-plugin

Message and docs of docker on linux are a bit vague unfortunately. I found out the missing package while I was planning to install docker from scratch.

Did you maybe use Docker Desktop on Windows, uninstall it, and then tried to install Docker directly on WSL?

In that case you may have an issue that in /usr/local/lib/docker/cli-plugins/ you don't have actual files, but broken links to WSL installation. This happened to me.

To verify check output from: ls -la /usr/local/lib/docker/cli-plugins/

In my case, I rm these broken links, then rerun Docker installation on WSL and it solved the problem.

  • In my case it was sufficient to just remove these old/broken symlinks. I did not have to reinstall docker. I did run the command `sudo apt-get install --reinstall docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin docker-scan-plugin` though, but this command did not restore any symlinks/files in that directory. – robert Apr 08 '23 at 09:02

A more complete solution:

  1. Find the name of the missing system package using substring search with apt cache:
$ apt cache buildx
docker-buildx-plugin - Docker Buildx cli plugin.
  1. Update packages lists and install the required package (using apt - newer version of apt-get - and standard user with sudo, rather than root):
$ sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y docker-buildx-plugin
