Docker ERROR: Error processing tar file(exit status 1): unexpected EOF

Question

I needed space and executed: docker rmi $(docker images -f \"dangling=true\" -q)

Since then I can\'t with docker-compose: docker-compose build

Answer 1

In my case, the problem was a .dump file created by one of my project's scripts.

docker-compose passes the context to the engine as a tar file, therefore, the build command was packing a tar (the .dump file) inside another tar file (the docker context) hence throwing an unexpected EOF on the context.

Since I don't need the .dump file in the container, I added it to my .dockerignore file.
