I used docker images And this is my output: ''' REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE alphafold latest 5ea074d4fce3 38 minutes ago 11.4GB nvidia/cuda 12.2.0-base-ubuntu22.04 00d989b22f26 13 months ago 239MB hello-world latest d2c94e258dcb 20 months ago 13.3kB ’‘’ But when I check python I found that I could not see the images in python which looks like that ： [<Image: ''>, <Image: 'hello-world:latest'>, <Image: 'ubuntu:xenial'>] Any help would be appreciated.
The error isn’t with AlphaFold itself — it’s usually caused by a missing or mismatched alphafold:latest image tag, or Docker socket misconfiguration. Rebuilding or retagging the image almost always resolves it.
bash docker/build.sh
# or
docker tag <image-id> alphafold:latest
Also ensure you’re on the correct Docker context (docker context use default). Re-run the command afterward — this should resolve the issue.
