What happened?

When using a Dockerfile with a multi-stage build, the interstitial images are not cleaned up at the end of execution. I'm building the image with:

FromDockerfile: testcontainers.FromDockerfile{
	Dockerfile: "Dockerfile",
	Context:    ".",
	PrintBuildLog: true,
},

Which results in the following dangling images:

image

The first two are because I actually build the container twice, for reasons related to the project. test is an example build from docker build -t test . to see what it does. The remaining two are me trying to trick testcontainers into doing something it isn't really designed to do1, so I'll take responsibility for them ;)

Example (partial) dockerfile:

# ---- Stage 0 ----
# Builds media repo binaries
FROM golang:1.19-alpine AS builder

# ... commands ...

RUN ./build.sh

# ---- Stage 1 ----
# Final runtime stage.
FROM alpine

COPY --from=builder /opt/bin/media_repo /usr/local/bin/

# ... commands ...

CMD ./run.sh

Relevant log output

No response

Additional information

Footnotes

  1. To avoid building an image twice, I dig into the internals of testcontainers-go a bit. Specifically, I create (but don't start) a container directly on the provider then capture the image name for use in a future container start. This seems to leave behind the image (the UUID below test in the screenshot above) as well as the interstitial build.
