Docker: “no matching manifest for windows/amd64 in the manifest list entries”

Question

while using docker for windows I tried to get a PHP image using docker pull command like so:

$ docker pull php

But I got this message:

Using default tag: latest
latest: Pulling from library/php no matching manifest for windows/amd64 
        in the manifest list entries

Is there any way to solve this?

Answer 1

I've been having the same issue when i use docker for windows on windows 10. My work around for this was to run the docker daemon in experimental mode.You can do so by following these steps:

1. Open Docker in windows
2. click on Settings
3. click on daemon
4. go to advanced
5. put the value "experimental": true
6. then restart docker

With this you should be able to pull the PHP image.
