Docker: Error response from daemon: Get https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/: net/http: request canceled while waiting for connection

Question

Since yesterday out of nowhere I'm not able to pull images anymore. And I can't login into docker with docker login. The same error appears:

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

I'm not behind any proxy and all of my docker container itself work well. I'm running it at home and the only reverse proxy I use is running in a container and can't be the reason.

Running on:

• Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS
• Docker version 19.03.5, build 633a0ea

Answer 1

This helped me:

sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf

Set the nameserver to 8.8.8.8.

Restart the docker demon.

sudo systemctl restart docker

Answer 2

Try to update /etc/resolv.conf

nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4

Answer 3

I added nameserver 8.8.8.8 in all my worker nodes and the issue was resolved

Answer 4

In my case, it gets resolved after configuring the proxy. I am using Windows Docker (Refer 'Proxy Configuration' section from here for more details)
