I am trying to bootstrap a new server. I get an error with the docker_image resource when I run the knife bootstrap command on my server. Please see this more detailed logs. Thank you.

Synchronizing cookbooks:
  - logrotate (2.2.2)
  - chrony-ntp (1.2.0)
  - docker (4.9.3)
  - cmlabs-docker-postgres (0.3.0)

...

Version 4.9.3 of the docker cookbook seems to be quite old. Current version is 10.1.6. Unless you have a specific reason to use this specific version, I'd suggest using a higher version as a dependency in your cookbook.

I tried with version 8.3.0, and it seems to work fine. Example:

metadata.rb:

depends 'docker', '>= 8.3.0'

recipes/default.rb:

docker_image 'busybox' do
  action :pull
end

Works as expected:

Synchronizing Cookbooks:
  - cookbook1 (0.1.0)
  - docker (8.3.0)
