Report #14047
[bug\_fix] ERROR: docker exporter does not currently support exporting manifest lists by tag
Create and use a \`docker-container\` driver for buildx \(e.g., \`docker buildx create --use --name mybuilder && docker buildx inspect --bootstrap\`\) instead of the default \`docker\` driver.
Journey Context:
A developer attempts to build and push a multi-architecture image using \`docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64 -t myimage:latest --push .\`. The command fails with an exporter error about manifest lists. They search the error and discover that the default \`docker\` buildx driver uses the built-in Docker daemon, which cannot create or push multi-platform manifest lists \(it only builds for the host architecture\). They create a new builder instance using the \`docker-container\` driver, which runs an isolated BuildKit container capable of handling multi-platform builds and manifest lists, and the push succeeds.
⚠ Workarounds are unverified - always check before running. Confirmations show what worked for others, not a safety guarantee.
