Just a sanity check, buildx and scan are missing from my local RD (1.4.1):

Copy code

Invalid Plugins:
  buildx      failed to fetch metadata: fork/exec /usr/local/lib/docker/cli-plugins/docker-buildx: no such file or directory
  scan        failed to fetch metadata: fork/exec /usr/local/lib/docker/cli-plugins/docker-scan: no such file or directory

:~/.docker/cli-plugins$ ls
docker-compose

From tracking through the github issues, this looks like it should be downloaded and installed automatically. On the two machines I checked with 1.4.1, it isn't. Should it be?

It's in powershell but not in WSL terminals

Another sanity check here:

Copy code

C:\code [main ≡ +0 ~2 -0 !]> docker buildx version
<http://github.com/docker/buildx|github.com/docker/buildx> v0.7.1 05846896d149da05f3d6fd1e7770da187b52a247
C:\code [main ≡ +0 ~2 -0 !]> docker-buildx version
<http://github.com/docker/buildx|github.com/docker/buildx> v0.8.2 6224def4dd2c3d347eee19db595348c50d7cb491

Is it a bug/issue how the hyphenated command has a different version?

I see you (assuming it was you) created https://github.com/rancher-sandbox/rancher-desktop/issues/2622 for this. That was a good call - I took a look at the code and there is nothing I see that would put

docker-buildx

in WSL distros. We should definitely have this! Regarding the differing versions of

docker buildx

and

docker-buildx

, I see the same thing on my Windows install. I had thought that the only place the docker CLI would pick plugins up from was

~/.docker/cli-plugins

, but I'm clearly wrong because I don't see anything in this directory, and yet I can call

docker buildx

But yeah these are definitely bugs, we will get to them when we have cycles for it. PRs are always welcome too :)

I need features in 0.8.1+, and I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out why they seemingly weren't available, despite the references to 0.8.2 in the install scripts

I see. I don't think there is anything preventing you from manually installing the versions you need. I believe all of our code is written to not overwrite versions of programs that are already there. Worst case scenario you could put the versions in a directory in your

PATH

that takes precedence

that's what was crazy to me about the 0.7.1 vs 0.8.2 thing. I did completely fresh installs from scratch and it still came up that way

tracked the 0.8.2 back through the install scripts, but it just haven't had enough exposure to that side of the house to identify what's missing

i'm guessing there's some duplication that I can follow here for buildx

Yeah that's the code. It seems it never was written for

docker-buildx

. We should probably make it generic, since I believe there are plans to integrate more docker CLI plugins
