Additional environment details (AWS, VirtualBox, physical, etc.):

  1. VirtualBox-5.1 is uninstalled

  2. This is a home laptop and it is not behind proxy. Assume exporting http proxy, https proxy are not relevant

  3. Checked ip link. MTU values are 1500 by default

  4. Have set mtu probing to 1. $ sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_mtu_probing=1

  5. Updated /etc/resolv.conf to have “nameserver 8.8.8.8” in first line

  6. https link from error output does not work from the browser

  7. Tried accessing the above link from Windows 8.1 on the same laptop from a browser and it does not get through.

  8. Referred https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/32257. Have sent a mail to docker hub support team, but no response

I am stuck with this, for the last 3 days. Need your help to resolve this.

On the internet, all suggestions are leading to DNS fix. But, nslookup to docker auth server works.

$ nslookup auth.docker.io
Server: 127.0.1.1
Address: 127.0.1.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: auth.docker.io
Address: 54.152.220.218
Name: auth.docker.io
Address: 52.87.53.92
Name: auth.docker.io
Address: 54.85.174.159
Name: auth.docker.io
Address: 34.224.42.226
Name: auth.docker.io
Address: 52.206.159.189
Name: auth.docker.io
Address: 52.5.247.186

So, it is able to reach out to docker-hub, but times out. MTU value is by default 1500. Have tried setting this to 1000.

Have even tried -stop-timeout set to 120 seconds.

None of these helps.

If I do a curl from cmd prompt, get this error:
$ curl -v https://dseasb33srnrn.cloudfront.net:443

However, curl requests to docker.io works fine.
curl -v https://index.docker.io:443

I am assuming that the download site is down. Is there a secondary site that I can use?
If yes, how to initiate the pull request? OR while doing the build?
