sles15sp2 Docker Image

Hello,
I am trying to build a Docker image that is based on sle15:15.2 and I am encountering a problem that produces the following error:
Problem retrieving the repository index file for service 'container-suseconnect-zypp':

I am following this guide

My Dockerfile is as follows:

	FROM registry.suse.com/suse/sle15:15.2
	
	RUN zypper ref -s
	RUN zypper refs && zypper refresh
	RUN zypper -n in vim

Build Results:

	host2-vm1:~ # docker build -t sles15sp2-test sles15sp2/
	Sending build context to Docker daemon  28.38MB
	Step 1/4 : FROM registry.suse.com/suse/sle15:15.2
	 ---> f8606f88e4d8
	Step 2/4 : RUN zypper ref -s
	 ---> Running in 5d9c7eac019e
	Refreshing service 'container-suseconnect-zypp'.
	Warning: Skipping service 'container-suseconnect-zypp' because of the above error.
	All services have been refreshed.
	Problem retrieving the repository index file for service 'container-suseconnect-zypp':
	[container-suseconnect-zypp|file:/usr/lib/zypp/plugins/services/container-suseconnect-zypp]
	Warning: There are no enabled repositories defined.
	Use 'zypper addrepo' or 'zypper modifyrepo' commands to add or enable repositories.
	The command '/bin/sh -c zypper ref -s' returned a non-zero code: 6

I have double checked the license status of this host on https://scc.suse.com/subscriptions and it appears to be in OK.

Has anyone encountered and resolved this issue or have any suggestions on resources I can use?

Thanks
Nate

@“nathan” Hi and welcome to the Forum :slight_smile:
Is the SLE-Module-Containers15-SP2 added to your system as this contains the container-suseconnect package?

SUSEConnect -p sle-module-containers/15.2/x86_64
zypper install container-suseconnect

Hi,
Thank you for responding.

I have now added SLE-Module-Containers15-SP2 to the system.

	host-vm1:~ # SUSEConnect -p sle-module-containers/15.2/x86_64

and I have installed container-suseconnect.

I was hoping I could now build the sles15sp2 container, but I get the same error message.

Am I missing more steps or do I need to configure something differently?

Thanks again for your help.

@nathan Hi, hmm not sure. Did you read the Announcement about the forum being closed and everything moving to https://community.suse.com I wonder if you could post over there as it will get more ‘active’ eyes on it. This would be the place: https://community.suse.com/topics/3776090

I had missed that announcement. Thank you for the link.
