Additional context

• Running in devcontainer: uses python:3-bookworm base image, supabase-cli feature along with docker-in-docker feature

[rosmur]

rebuilding the container didnt resolve issue

[pkabra]

@rosmur seems identical to #4466 . see that issue for possible fixes.

[rosmur]

Didnt change anything.. but its working today:

First time i tried supabase start (same devcontainer env as stated above), i got:

failed to display json stream: failed to register layer: write /nix/store/vmlljnps7wn0wrd97icjmaqa1mdrg9pg-wrappers-0.4.4/lib/wrappers-0.4.4.so: no space left on device

then i tried manually deleting old images from Docker Desktop (though it said there was plenty of space available) and ran
supabase start --debug, it worked.

I did remove remoteEnv key (with TZ value set to LA) - not sure if this was the issue ?

Seeing this same error when running supabase db pull --debug for the first time on an existing project:
