Expected behavior

Pull the right images from Docker images repo.

Actual behavior

Getting an error:

ERROR: Network timed out while trying to connect toindex.docker.io/v1/repositories/library/mariadb/images. You may want to check your internet connection or if you are behind a proxy.

Information

Visit the link directly from browser index.docker.io/v1/repositories/library/mariadb/images it loads fine with hash checksums of all images.

I’m getting the same issue as well. Those who aren’t using mac beta aren’t having the same issue. I’m on beta 18

I would output my diagnose information but that is also broken :wink: V1.12.0-rc3-beta18 missing Diagnose, and "Check for Update" and Auto-Update option cannot be changed

Yeah, docker pull is consistently failing for me.

Got another incident today (see below.) docker pull on a VritualBox VM on Mac works fine without hitch.

Ok, I just got a new release push from Docker. After upgrade, the new version

Version 1.12.0-rc4-beta20 (build: 10404)

just worked! Yay

Just re-installed 1.12.0-rc4-beta20 (build: 10404) while troubleshooting something else & I am now seeing this problem. Don’t seem to be able to pull anything.

I got it working with pure default Docker configuration (no manual DNS set to 8.8.8.8, no IP V6 deactivation), by removing Unlocator-related settings from the router (its specific DNS server, and maybe more problematic, static routes that redirected 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 to the router itself as recommended to get Chromecast working)! I had to reboot the router afterwards and disable/re-enable local network adapters. Strange that Docker is the only application which encountered issues because of this set-up.

I may have some useful information on this issue.

On OSX my list of DNS servers is (in this order):

  • 2001:4860:4860::8888
  • 2001:4860:4860::8844
  • 8.8.8.8
  • 8.8.4.4

But, if I rearrange the list so that the v4 addresses are at the top, it suddenly works.

So it seems that the issues are that a) it’s not falling-back to the second/third/fourth addresses in /etc/resolv.conf, and b) it doesn’t have access to the IPv6 internet.

Can anybody else confirm that making sure the first DNS address is a v4 address fixes the issue?

Edit: Raised an issue for this: https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/9

I can confirm that doing this worked for me.

Yup this did it. Thank you @tomdxw!
