Summary

  • Fixes WITH docker fails to pull images with digest #512. A compose service pinned by image: name:tag@sha256:… breaks the WITH DOCKER --compose pre-pull because the wrapper's docker tag <src> <dst> step fails on a digest-bearing target: refusing to create a tag with a digest reference.
  • Strip the digest suffix from the retag target at the CLI/wrapper boundary (earthfile2llb/with_docker_run_reg.go and with_docker_run_local_reg.go), via a new stripImageDigest helper.
  • The digest pin is still enforced — docker compose up re-fetches the manifest from the upstream registry and verifies, with layers served from the local cache populated by the pre-pull. Pre-pull therefore gives layer-level dedup but not an offline path for digest-pinned services; closing that gap requires either a BuildKit mirror that preserves the original manifest, or the containerd snapshotter (blocked by Enable containerd snapshotter for dind #195). Not in scope here.
  • BuildKit / dockerd-wrapper.sh unchanged: the fix is entirely in earth's converter.

Test plan

  • go test ./earthfile2llb/ -run Test_stripImageDigest — table-driven cases for the helper (alpine:3.20@sha256:…, alpine@sha256:…, registry with port + tag + digest, non-sha256 algos, no-op cases).
  • New integration target tests/with-docker-compose+test-digest-pinned-image (wired into +all) using alpine:3.20@sha256:d9e853….
  • A/B verified locally on darwin/arm64:
    • Stock earth v0.8.17 against the new target → refusing to create a tag with a digest reference, ❌ FAILURE.
    • Locally-built CLI from this branch (go build ./cmd/earthly with appropriate ldflags) against the same target → retags as alpine:3.20 (digest stripped), app-1 | hello from digest-pinned alpine, ✅ SUCCESS.
  • Confirmed independently that the compose file is valid: docker compose -f docker-compose.digest.yml pull/up works on its own, isolating the failure to earth's retag step.

Related

  • Upstream: earthly/earthly#1852 — same class of bug via WITH DOCKER --pull, also resolved by this change since both paths go through the same retag boundary.
  • Engine restriction: docker/cli#4545docker tag refusing digest-bearing targets is intentional.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved handling of digest-pinned container images during local registry retagging.
    • Preserved full image digests for Docker Compose pinning while using compatible image names for retagging.
    • Error messages now reference the digest-free target image name.
  • Tests

    • Added regression coverage for tagged, untagged, registry-based, and digest-pinned image references.
    • Added a Docker Compose test confirming services run correctly with digest-pinned images.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a stripImageDigest function to remove digest suffixes from Docker image names, ensuring compatibility with the docker tag command which rejects digest-bearing targets. These changes are integrated into both local and remote registry run paths and are supported by new unit tests and a regression test case. Feedback suggests refactoring the if statement initializer in the new function to avoid potential linting issues.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds digest stripping for Docker image retag targets. Local and intermediate-image retagging use digest-free names, while digest-qualified names remain available for Compose pinning. Unit and Compose regression tests cover digest-pinned images.
