From 4a75b76a19e2cbec39d7b266fc5d1d332d63a2fb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sophie Date: Tue, 30 Dec 2025 10:19:01 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 1/8] fix: Restore Portainer Agent build and image source - Fix circular dependency Restores official Portainer Agent image source (ghcr.io/portainerci/agent:latest) in COPY --from statements. Previous code review feedback inadvertently introduced a circular dependency that prevents Docker builds. This fixes Issue #2318 where users cannot update due to 404 manifest unknown error.
