Doesn't seem you have the buildx cli plugin installed. Did you follow our docs to install Docker? https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/

[vedannt511]

I am also facing the same issue , i have installed docker but haven't installed docker desktop as i working on aws EC2 instance have you got the solution for it??

[crazy-max]

i have installed docker

Same as #2297 (comment), did you follow the instructions to install Docker from https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/?

I'm closing this issue in the meantime but feel free to left a comment if you still have an issue.

I get this error, and when I refer to the linked page there is no mention of buildx :-(

I found the following solution though, and for Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS with Docker 26.1.3, this was the solution:

sudo apt install docker-buildx

see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75452542/how-to-install-buildx-with-docker-23-0-1, which has many solutions depending on OS and versions.
