Error response from daemon: id not found

What This Error Means

Docker could not find the referenced object ID (container/image/network/volume).

How to Fix It

1. List objects on the current daemon and confirm the ID exists.
2. Check active context: docker context show.
3. Retry using a name instead of a short ID if possible.

Why It Happens

• The object was deleted or never existed on this daemon.
• You are talking to a different Docker context/daemon than you think.

How to Verify

1. Re-run the command with the correct ID or name.
2. Confirm the object shows up in the relevant docker <resource> ls output.

Common CLI Output

Error response from daemon: id not found

Prevention Tips

• Avoid relying on ephemeral IDs across scripts, prefer names and labels.
• Keep contexts explicit in CI scripts.
