Unable to load docker desktop containerd managed images to cluster #3795
Description
What happened:
I am attempting to load Docker images into kind cluster: kind load docker-image busybox -n nebulae but getting the following error:
❯ kind load docker-image busybox -n nebulae Image: "busybox" with ID "sha256:5b0f33c83a97f5f7d12698df6732098b0cdb860d377f6307b68efe2c6821296f" not yet present on node "nebulae-control-plane", loading... ERROR: failed to load image: command "docker exec --privileged -i nebulae-control-plane ctr --namespace=k8s.io images import --all-platforms --digests --snapshotter=overlayfs -" failed with error: exit status 1 Command Output: ctr: content digest sha256:83e82a8dd385e27d95f2118c1332d414684aa665552f7f837f86da33674308c4: not found
What you expected to happen:
I expected the image to load successfully. I already have this image pulled locally using docker pull busybox. Upon further investigation, it seems to me that kind or (containerd) expects the image for all platforms to be present on the host for the load command to succeed.
How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):
docker pull busybox
kind create cluster --name nebulae
kind load -v 10 docker-image -n nebulae busybox
Anything else we need to know?:
From looking at other answers on the internet, it seems generally this error occurs when the image arch doesn't match the host arch. But this is not the case. I did perform docker images --tree and made sure the images match my host (M3 MacBook Pro) OS.
