docker
Docker build does not work
Description
Whenever i try to use docker build it is referencing buildx, and this is not at all what i expect.
Specifically:
❯ docker build
docker: 'buildx' is not a docker command.
See 'docker --help'
likewise it seems like docker does not recognize build as a sub command even though the help text states it is a command:
❯ docker build --help
Usage: docker [OPTIONS] COMMAND
A self-sufficient runtime for containers
Common Commands:
run Create and run a new container from an image
exec Execute a command in a running container
ps List containers
build Build an image from a Dockerfile
pull Download an image from a registry
push Upload an image to a registry
images List images
login Log in to a registry
logout Log out from a registry
search Search Docker Hub for images
version Show the Docker version information
info Display system-wide information
...
I would here expect the docker build help text to appear.
Reproduce
- docker build
Expected behavior
docker build works as expected and builds a docker image.

Additional Info
Other docker commands looks like they are working as i would expect.
I can't reproduce this issue on our official packages: https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ We don't maintain the NixOS packages and it looks like it might be a packaging issue - please report it on the nixpkgs issue tracker.
Also worth noting that I see it's compiled with go1.22, and at least runc is NOT compatible with go1.22 currently; it may compile, but there may be issues.
I also experienced the same problem on RHEL/UBI. It turned out I had disabled installing weak dependencies (i.e. recommended packages), and this prevented the docker-buildx-plugin from installing when installing docker-ce-cli. If you need to disable weak dependencies, then you'll need to manually install docker-buildx-plugin.
