Hi guys,

I’m facing a weird problem when trying to build a docker image,  
this is the basic workflow:

1. I successfully build a docker image called “accounts-skeleton”

…

- name: “Accounts: building Accounts Skeleton image”  
docker\_image:  
path: /tmp/  
name: accounts-skeleton  
tag: latest  
state: present  
tags:
- containers
- accounts-skeleton

# docker images

REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED VIRTUAL SIZE  
accounts-skeleton latest c227713a6340 2 hours ago 790.9 MB

1. and then I try to create a second image using the image “accounts-skeleton”,  
as follows:

…

- name: “Accounts: building Accounts Base image”  
docker\_image:  
path: /home/accounts/current/  
name: accounts-base  
tag: latest  
state: present  
when: deploy is defined  
tags:
- containers
- accounts-base

but when I execute the playbook the following error message appears:

TASK: [accounts | Accounts: building Accounts Base image] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*  
failed: [192.168.1.170] =\> {“changed”: true, “failed”: true, “image\_id”: null}  
msg: Error: Error: image library/accounts-skeleton:latest not found  
Log:Step 0 : FROM accounts-skeleton

Do you guys have some idea of what is going on?

Thanks in advance.
