Description
Description
Docker Agent is installed and docker agent doctor reports the local configuration as healthy, but docker agent run fails before the agent starts because it cannot pull the agentcatalog/coder OCI image from Docker Hub.
I have already confirmed that the model provider configuration is present and valid. Groq is detected correctly, and the model auto-selection resolves to groq/llama-3.3-70b-versatile. However, the runtime still stops at image pull time with an authentication error.
Expected Behavior
docker agent run should start successfully using the configured model and should not fail while pulling agentcatalog/coder.
Actual Behavior
The command fails with:
failed to pull OCI image agentcatalog/coder: resolving remote digest for agentcatalog/coder: GET https://index.docker.io/v2/agentcatalog/coder/manifests/latest: UNAUTHORIZED: authentication required
This happens even after successful docker login and after configuring Groq through docker agent setup.
Steps to Reproduce
- Install Docker Agent on Windows.
- Run
docker agent setup. - Select a cloud provider model and configure
GROQ_API_KEY. - Confirm the setup with
docker agent doctor. - Run:
docker agent run --model groq/llama-3.3-70b-versatile
or
docker agent run agentcatalog/pirate
- Observe that Docker Agent still fails while pulling
agentcatalog/coder.
Docker Agent version
v1.115.0
OS & terminal
Windows 11 - PowerShell
Model used
groq/llama-3.3-70b-versatile
Error output
failed to pull OCI image agentcatalog/coder: resolving remote digest for agentcatalog/coder: GET https://index.docker.io/v2/agentcatalog/coder/manifests/latest: UNAUTHORIZED: authentication required
Screenshots
Additional context
docker agent doctor shows:
- user configuration is OK
GROQ_API_KEYis found in the config env file- Docker Model Runner is not installed
- model auto-selection resolves to
groq/llama-3.3-70b-versatile
Docker login succeeds, but the runtime still cannot pull the required catalog image.
