Why do containers fail to fetch URIs in DC/OS?

Question

I have created a cluster on Digital Ocean (DC/OS 1.9) using terraform following these instructions here

Everything seems to have installed correctly, to pull from a private docker repo, I need to add a compressed .docker file to my /core/home/ and fetch it during deployment by including it in my JSON.

"fetch":[  
   {  
      "uri":"file:///home/core/docker.tar.gz"
   }
]

Based on these instructions: https://docs.mesosphere.com/1.9/deploying-services/momee/docker-creds-agent/

And I'm still getting errors:

Failed to launch container: 
Failed to fetch all URIs for container 'abc123-xxxxx' with exit status: 256

Upon looking at the logs of one of the agents:

You are missing the extract instruction:

"fetch":[  
   {  
      "uri":"file:///home/core/docker.tar.gz",
      "extract":true
   }
]
