Known Issues

Apple Silicon (M4/M5): --from docker SBOM analysis failure

On macOS running on Apple Silicon (M4/M5) with Docker Desktop using VirtioFS, anchorectl image add --from docker may fail with unable to get local analyze SBOM: could not determine source. This occurs when Docker pulls images in a format that does not produce a complete OCI layout on disk, which prevents AnchoreCTL from resolving the source for local analysis. This issue has not been observed on Intel-based Macs or Linux.

Workarounds:

For images that exist in a registry, remove the local copy and allow AnchoreCTL to pull the image directly:

docker rmi ${image}
anchorectl image add ${image} --from docker

For locally built images, disable Use containerd for pulling and storing images in Docker Desktop under Settings → General, restart Docker Desktop for the changes to take effect, then build the image and continue as normal.

Docker Desktop Settings - General

A fix is planned for an upcoming release.
