Based on the information provided in the extracts, it seems like you might be encountering a similar issue to what some users have reported on the Airbyte Slack channel. The error message you're seeing typically indicates that Docker is unable to find the specified image tag in the Docker registry. One possible solution could be to try running the command without specifying the version. For example, instead of using

VERSION=0.50.9 docker-compose up

, you could try just

docker-compose up

. This was a solution found by a user who was deploying Airbyte on a Mac M1 machine, as seen in this [Slack conversation](https://airbytehq.slack.com/archives/C021JANJ6TY/p1669735769154519). Another user on a Mac M1 machine encountered a similar issue and was advised to ensure that Docker has enough space and to try running

docker system prune

to clean up unused Docker resources, as seen in this [Slack conversation](https://airbytehq.slack.com/archives/C021JANJ6TY/p1671139885923699). If these solutions don't work, it would be helpful to check if you're following the correct version of the Airbyte documentation. The correct version can be found [here](https://docs.airbyte.com/deploying-airbyte/local-deployment). If you're still encountering issues, I would recommend reaching out to the Airbyte community on [Slack](https://slack.airbyte.com/) for further assistance.

FYI, I had to do this for mine to work after the 0.50.10 update was posted: https://github.com/abiosoft/colima/issues/687
