[SOLVED] Why is docker-compose failing with ERROR internal load metadata suddenly?

Why is docker-compose failing with ERROR internal load metadata suddenly?

I've been running docker-compose build for days, many times per day, and haven't changed my DOCKERFILEs or docker-compose.yml. Suddenly an hour ago I started getting this:

Building frontdesk-api
failed to get console mode for stdout: The handle is invalid.

ERROR: Service 'frontdesk-api' failed to build

Things I've tried:

Running it again
docker rm -f $(docker ps -a -q)
docker login
Different SDK image

Here is the DOCKERFILE:

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/aspnet:5.0-buster-slim AS base
WORKDIR /app
EXPOSE 80
EXPOSE 443

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:5.0.201-buster-slim AS build
WORKDIR /app
# run this from repository root
COPY ./ ./ 
#RUN ls -lha .

RUN echo 'Building FrontDesk container'

WORKDIR /app/FrontDesk/src/FrontDesk.Api
#RUN ls -lha .
RUN dotnet restore

RUN dotnet build "FrontDesk.Api.csproj" -c Release -o /app/build

FROM build AS publish
RUN dotnet publish "FrontDesk.Api.csproj" -c Release -o /app/publish

FROM base AS final
WORKDIR /app
COPY --from=publish /app/publish .
ENTRYPOINT ["dotnet", "FrontDesk.Api.dll"]

How can I get my build working again?

Solution

mcr.microsoft.com is down at the moment

I'm receiving several different errors when pulling:

% docker pull mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:5.0
Error response from daemon: Get https://mcr.microsoft.com/v2/: Service Unavailable

% docker pull mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:5.0
5.0: Pulling from dotnet/sdk
