MEF Center Fails to Be Installed by Importing a Base Image

Symptom

MEF Center fails to be installed by importing a local Ubuntu:22.04 base image using the docker load command.

Cause Analysis

If the Docker version in the MEF Center installation environment is 23.0 or later, Docker uses BuildKit as the image building tool by default to build images and obtains dependency base images from an image repository. If the dependency base image built by MEF Center is Ubuntu:22.04, the image repository configured in the environment or the public Docker image repository is unavailable, and the base image is obtained through offline import, the MEF Center image fails to be built. As a result, MEF Center fails to be installed.

Solution

Before installing MEF Center, run the following command to disable the BuildKit function of Docker by setting environment variables:

export DOCKER_BUILDKIT=0
