MQ Explorer fails to build on tar error in UBI

[ToniCipriani]

MQ Explorer Docker Container fails to build. It appears the ubi8:ubi-minimal base image does not have tar to extract the MQ install package.

I get this too, so am currently stuck

Not able to create MQ image in local system.

How can we resolve this?

@jyoti-delhi
The above appears to show that you are trying to containerize IBM MQ V8 (which is now out of long term support). I think this is also a different issue from the original. Have you tried with our latest MQ Advanced for Developer download available here?

Are you sure that you are using the 9.2.4 branch of the GitHub Repo: https://github.com/ibm-messaging/mq-container/tree/9.2.4

From the output it looks like you are using an earlier branch.

Hi , Not able to resolve .Could you please help on this?

Hi - it looks like you have moved back to the RPM download- instead of using the Non-Install. Can you try and clone the GitHub repository (so you have the latest code), and then follow the instructions here.
