Hi all, Trying to pull a docker image during the bootstrap script during initialization. I can in the `elastic-stack.txt` logs that were are successfully pulling the image and a subsequent `docker images` confirms the image exists, but after initialization is complete, the image no longer appears to exist. Any ideas? I noticed there is some cron jobs that prunes and none of their logs seem to indicate they’re removing logs nor can I find any other traces in other misc logs. Thanks in advanced, Jamison ---

Hi @jl-applied, That’s an interesting question. It sounds like perhaps some commands might be running on agents that don’t have access to the images? It would be helpful if we are able to take a look at an example build where this is happening. Would you be able to share a build URL with [support@buildkite.com](mailto:support@buildkite.com), so we can take a closer look and help you out with this? Cheers, Jeremy ---

> [@jeremy](#): > > It sounds like perhaps some commands might be running on agents that don’t have access to the images? It would be helpful if we are able to take a look at an example build where this is happening. So, I’m accessing the instances directly before they even get schedule for a job. I have root access and am still unable to detect the images (or any traces of them in `/var/lib/docker`, `/var/log`, etc.). This is happening around agent initialization, so not sure if there is a particular build which is relevant. Thanks, Jamison ---

@jl-applied Interesting… Would you be able to share your stack parameters at all (with any sensitive information removed)? I wonder if you have something set that might be messing with the image cache on the instance 🤔 ---

I emailed `support@buildkite.com` the relevant files. Let me know if I missed anything. Thanks again, Jamison ---

Fortunately, I am no longer able to reproduce. I suspect the issue was somewhere on my end. Thanks again
