Docker build error (HTTP 502) on docker for windows

Hi together,

I get build errors while building Dockerfiles generally. The process crashes while trying to pull the images (FROM …).

I’m using Docker Desktop for WIndows: 4.34.2

docker pull registry.mycompany.com/mylibrary/dotnet/sdk:8.0-alpine works like expected.

Any ideas to solve this problem?

Kind regards

The process does not “crash”, it just exits normally with an error.

It seems your company registry can’t be reached (http status 502), it’s a network issue.

Those issues are the hardest to debug, as they fully depend on your local setup, the network, firewalls, Docker Desktop, WSL.

Can you ping or curl registry.mycompany.com from the same CLI? Did you do the pull from the same CLI?

Actually, if it is an HTTP status code, it is not a network issue, at least not between the client and the server that responds to the request. The server logs could tell more about the issue, which the sysadmins of the server could check.
