fix: resolve docker/docker/api -> moby/moby/api module path mismatch

[shteypandey28-hue]

Description

Resolves #963

Problem

When running go mod tidy, the build fails with:

github.com/docker/docker/api@v1.54.0: parsing go.mod:
    module declares its path as: github.com/moby/moby/api
        but was required as: github.com/docker/docker/api

This happens because Docker recently modularized their repository into sub-modules with their own go.mod files. The sub-module at github.com/docker/docker/api is a vanity import path that redirects to github.com/moby/moby - but the go.mod inside declares module github.com/moby/moby/api, causing a path mismatch.

Transitive dependencies like kubernetes/kompose, fsouza/go-dockerclient, and docker/cli can trigger this when they reference types under docker/docker/api/types/.

Fix

Added a replace directive in go.mod to redirect the Docker vanity path to the canonical Moby module:

github.com/docker/docker/api => github.com/moby/moby/api v1.55.0

This is the standard approach for handling the Docker/Moby module path divergence, consistent with the existing replace patterns already in the project (e.g., Sirupsen/logrus => sirupsen/logrus).

Why not the suggested fix from the issue?

The issue suggested replace github.com/docker/docker/api => github.com/moby/moby/api v20.10.24+incompatible, but v20.10.24 is a version of the root docker/docker module - not the api sub-module. The moby/moby/api sub-module uses versions v1.52.0 through v1.55.0. This PR uses v1.55.0 (latest stable).

Verification

• go mod tidy - passes, idempotent
• go test ./... - all packages pass
• go vet ./... - clean
• No unintended file changes (only go.mod modified, 1 line changed)

Code Review

This pull request updates the go.mod file by removing a commented-out replacement for github.com/docker/docker and adding a replacement mapping github.com/docker/docker/api to github.com/moby/moby/api v1.55.0. There are no review comments, so I have no feedback to provide.

Important

The consumer version of Gemini Code Assist on GitHub is being sunset. Starting June 18, 2026, new organization installations will be blocked, and all code review activity will officially cease on July 17, 2026.

Hey @YASHMAHAKAL ,Added a replace directive in go.mod to map docker/docker/api to moby/moby/api since the sub-module declares itself as moby/moby/api but gets fetched via the docker vanity path. Used v1.55.0 instead of the v20.10.24+incompatible suggested in the issue since that version belongs to the root module, not the /api sub-module. Tested locally — go mod tidy, go test, and go vet all pass clean.
