The problem is that you're not in the right context.

From your logs I can see that you're in the "acicontext" where the $ docker images command is not available. I had the same issue when I tried to deploy a container to Azure.

To resolve this, first, run the command $ docker context list in Powershell. You should be seeing a list of contexts and the one that you're on has a star right next to its name like so :

powershell with the docker context list command running

If you want to be able to use the $ docker images command you have to go inside the right context, which in this example is "default". To do so, run $ docker context use default

Then run $ docker images again, it should be working.

whole process in image

You can read more about Docker context here https://docs.docker.com/engine/context/working-with-contexts/
