[Bug]: After reinstalling using brew, container start fails.

[PunkFleet]

I have done the following

• I have searched the existing issues
• If possible, I've reproduced the issue using the 'main' branch of this project

Steps to reproduce

#476

@jglogan I tried to reproduce the issue, but I'm unsure how to fully describe the problem, so I've copied all my command operations.

koala@MacBook-Pro ~ % uninstall-container.sh -d

Removed `container` tool and helpers

==> Uninstalling packages with `sudo` (which may request your password)...
==> Purging files for version 0.4.1 of Cask container
koala@MacBook-Pro ~ % container --version
zsh: command not found: container

At this point, I have completely uninstalled container. After downloading and successfully installing the 0.4.1 package, I proceeded to attempt reproducing the issue:

koala@MacBook-Pro ~ % container --version 
container CLI version 0.4.1 (build: release, commit: 4ac18b5)

Current behavior

After using the container start command, the container fails to start.

Expected behavior

The container start command successfully runs a container.

Environment

- OS: Version 26.0 Beta (25A5346a)
- Xcode: 
- Container: container CLI version 0.4.1 (build: release, commit: 4ac18b5)

It same to me.

[jglogan]

Could you try running in one terminal:

container system logs -f

and then in another:

container system stop
container system start
container create --name openwrt --arch amd64 -c 4 -m 8G ubuntu:24.04
container start openwrt

Then copy the system logs and upload them here.

@jglogan lol, this method is awesome. I can view the entire activity log.

I noticed it's an AMD64 image issue? 2025-09-03 17:06:04.702630+0800 0x3adf Error 0x0 1099 0 container-core-images: [com.apple.container:ImagesHelper] handler for snapshotGet threw error notFound: "image snapshot for docker.io/library/ubuntu:24.04 with platform linux/amd64"

The "image snapshot" is most likely not important. That it's logged as an error is misleading. I filed #589 for it.

It looks like your container process is exiting with status 0 almost as soon as the container starts. There's an error message right after that as well, but I'm not sure whether that's the real problem as your container is shutting down before it:

Are you building this container image from a Dockerfile, or are you getting it from a registry somewhere?

I just noticed something; could you clarify something about the reproductions steps after the point where you fully uninstalled container?

It looks like you said you installed 0.4.1 from the package, and I see you running container ls and container image ls.

Then it looks like you install the homebrew package for container as well? Is this really the case? I have no idea offhand what's going to happen with that sort of setup.

I just noticed something; could you clarify something about the reproductions steps after the point where you fully uninstalled container?

Sorry for the late reply. After completely uninstalling the brew package and the installer package, I first installed it via the installer package and then launched it. Immediately after that, I installed it from brew. That's how it went.

The earliest issue occurred in version 0.3.0. To be honest, this happened because I forgot to install it using the installer package. On macOS, I usually install things via brew, so that's how the problem arose. When I tried reinstalling via brew, it proceeded to install directly (overwrite?)

Perhaps we could add a duplicate installation detection method? To check if the container already exists on the target machine?
