Docker build error: failed to add the host

I'm facing an unexpected error when running docker build, and I say unexpected because I haven't changed my Dockerfile for a while, and it had worked fine for the last time two weeks ago, but now I'm getting the following error:

failed to create endpoint optimistic_spence on network bridge: failed to add the host (veth9fc3a03) <=> sandbox (veth15abfd6) pair interfaces: operation not supported

In case it is of any help:

Dockerfile looks like:

FROM alpine:3.4

LABEL version="current version"
LABEL description="A nice description."
LABEL maintainer="[email protected]"

RUN apk update && apk add \
    gcc \
    g++ \
    make \
    git \
    && git clone https://gitlab.com/user/repo.git \
    && cd repo \
    && make \
    && cp program /bin \
    && rm -r /repo \
    && apk del g++ make git

WORKDIR /tmp

ENTRYPOINT ["program"]

Does anybody understand what is going on? Thank you!

EDIT When combined with the --network option, the error changes a little, but it won't fix the problem. For example, --network=host gives the following:

fetch http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.4/main/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz

ERROR: http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.4/main: temporary error (try again later)

WARNING: Ignoring APKINDEX.167438ca.tar.gz: No such file or directory

fetch http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.4/community/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz

WARNING: Ignoring APKINDEX.a2e6dac0.tar.gz: No such file or directory 2 errors; 11 distinct packages available

The command '/bin/sh -c apk update && apk add gcc g++ make git && git clone https://gitlab.com/user/repo.git && cd repo && make && cp program /bin && rm -r /repo && apk del g++ make git' returned a non-zero code: 2

Just to add to the possible causes. For me (and probably @testix) it was because i did a system upgrade (archlinux), so my kernel modules got upgraded, but i was still running the old kernel, so modules could not be loaded. You can try do modprobe a random module:

modprobe vcan
modprobe: FATAL: Module vcan not found in directory /lib/modules/6.2.7-arch1-1

This means that you have to reboot, (or use --network if you can get away with it).

Had the same error and systemctl restart docker nor pruning og images & system did not do it for me, I ended up rebooting my computer which seems o have resolved the issue.

Two times I have faced this issue and the way to fix it has always been the same. I'm posting in case it can be of any help for somebody:

  • First, make sure that the DNS server is properly set up (eg. setting DNS to 1.1.1.1).
  • Second, restarting the docker daemon.

For those using systemd in Linux, systemctl restart did not the job for me. I had to stop and start docker to make it work. After that, I could login and pull images again.

It looks that something wrong happened with any docker network bridge and it doesn't let you to create the same because is "zombie".

Try with following steps:

  1. docker network prune, and if it doesn't work, try with:
  2. docker system prune <-- Careful, this also will purge your named volumes contents, i.e, volumes that are not assigned to a container. So, if you have volumes assigned to a container, you should have to re-build/create containers.
  3. /etc/init.d/docker restart

Show me what happens and let's see, actually I need more info about your problem if it doesn't solve it to you.
