We are still working to resolve the problem with using Docker images on GOV.UK PaaS, where files deleted during the Docker build process are still visible in the filesystem, but any attempts to access the underlying file cause an error.
Since our last update, the upstream fix to the Cloud Foundry platform, has been released, and we are implementing an upgrade to resolve the problem.
If you are experiencing similar issues using Docker with your applications and you think it might be due to this issue, please contact us via gov-uk-paas-support@digital.cabinet-office.gov.uk and let us know.
We’ll let you know as soon as the problem has been resolved.

Hello,
We are aware of and are investigating a problem with using Docker images on GOV.UK PaaS. We have identified a regression in a component responsible for deploying Docker images to the platform. Some applications using Docker may be experiencing problems that affect end users.
Files deleted during the Docker build process are still visible in the filesystem, but any attempts to access the underlying file will cause an error.
If you are experiencing similar issues using Docker with your applications and you think it might be due to this issue, please contact us via gov-uk-paas-support@digital.cabinet-office.gov.uk and let us know.
To address this issue, we have documented the problem and are waiting for an upstream fix to the Cloud Foundry platform, which is in process. We will update you as soon as we learn more.
