Report #97704

[bug\_fix] error: failed to solve: rpc error: code = Unknown desc = failed to fetch oauth token: Post "https://auth.docker.io/token": dial tcp: lookup auth.docker.io: no such host

Configure a custom DNS resolver for BuildKit by setting \`--dns\` in the Docker daemon configuration or by ensuring the host's /etc/resolv.conf has valid nameservers. In CI, use \`docker buildx build --dns 8.8.8.8\` or set the buildkitd config with \`\[worker.oci\] dns = \["8.8.8.8"\]\`.

Journey Context:
A build pulling images from Docker Hub failed intermittently with DNS lookup errors. The build worked on my laptop but failed on a corporate CI runner. Debugging: \`docker pull\` worked, but \`docker buildx build\` failed. The root cause: BuildKit uses its own DNS resolution via containerd, which is not tied to the host's /etc/resolv.conf in some environments \(e.g., when inside a VM or container\). The fix: passing explicit DNS servers to the build command. For persistent fixes, I modified the Docker daemon config to include \`"dns": \["8.8.8.8"\]\`. After that, builds succeeded consistently.
