Thanks for the report — this was a bug in libratory, not in your docker install, and it is fixed in 26.911.0 (out
now).

macos gives an app launched from finder a cut-down path, and that cut-down path was what the app handed docker.
with no install directory in it, docker could not find its keychain credential helper, so the image pull failed
before postgres could start. nothing was wrong with your setup.

update to 26.911.0, or re-download the dmg, and the first run should get past the database step.

if you would rather not wait: with docker running, docker pull pgvector/pgvector:pg17 once in terminal — 26.910.1
then finds the image locally and boots.

Closing this, let me know if I missed something.
