Hi, since a few week we’re seeing regular errors when pulling Docker images for CI jobs. This was originally posted to https://travis-ci.community/t/docker-pull-fails-often/7137 , but we found out it’s also reproducible locally. Steps to reproduce Run docker pull catatnight/postfix Expected resu…

We’ve also been seeing this same issue for the last few days from multiple locations.

I don’t know what changed but our CI builds are more reliable now it seems. I haven’t seen any Docker pull related errors the last few days.

I spoke to soon. The issues are back and worse than ever. I have to restart my build numerous times to get one lucky that passes.

Just started seeing these today off an on this morning, and now it seems 80% of the time it fails. Both from CI (Circle CI) and just trying to pull locally.

I recently have started getting them. The worst part is that the whole download starts from scratch instead of resuming from the location it failed at. Since I have a 2GB image, this is very bad.

You need to just change your wifi or hotspot.
