Can't download container images from docker hub?

Dear Docker community,

I am trying to download some docker images from docker hub and I am getting these errors:

Get “https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/”: net/http: request canceled while waiting for connection (Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers)

Get “https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/”: context deadline exceeded

I originally thought this was related to the use limit download but I have waited > 8 hours and still getting this message?

any hint?

thank you

It couldn’t be rate limit related since the connection times out. When you rach a rate limit, you get a response, just not the image. So it seems to be a network issue.

But we usually need the following information to understand the issue:

  1. What platform are you using? Windows, Linux or macOS? Which version of the operating systems? In case of Linux, which distribution?

  2. How did you install Docker? Sharing the platform almost answers it, but only almost. Direct links to the followed guide can be useful.

  3. On debian based Linux, the following commands can give us some idea and recognize incorrectly installed Docker:

    docker info
    docker version
    

    Review the output before sharing and remove confidential data if any appears (public IP for example)

    dpkg -l 'docker*' | grep '^ii'
    snap list docker
    

    When you share the outputs, always format your posts according to the following guide: How to format your forum posts
