Lab 3.1 requested access to python3:latest is denied

blaket

Following lab 3.1, when I get to the command
sudo podman build -t simpleapp .

I get the output:

STEP 1/3: FROM docker.io/library/python3
Trying to pull docker.io/library/python3:latest...
Error: creating build container: initializing source docker://python3:latest: reading manifest latest in docker.io/library/python3: requested access to the resource is denied

I tried logging in using:
sudo podman login

and get back the response:
Authenticating with existing credentials for docker.io
Existing credentials are valid. Already logged in to docker.io

So I'm unsure why this command doesn't work.
I used the --from option to specify
sudo podman build --from=fedora:latest -t simpleapp .
and that worked, but this is a deviation from the course. Will this cause problems down the line, and why would podman not be able to build the image using docker.io?

Derp I'm sorry, I just had mistyped the Dockerfile. Instead of
FROM docker.io/library/python3
it should have been
FROM docker.io/library/python:3

Hi @blaket,

Such typos can easily be avoided in the future simply by using the definition and config files provided in the SOLUTIONS tarball, downloaded and extracted (hopefully) earlier in Chapter 2. The Dockerfile is also part of the tarball.
