Docker official registry (Docker Hub) URL

Question

Docker Hub official website has been moved to https://registry.hub.docker.com from https://hub.docker.com/.

If I try to docker pull images from URL like: docker pull registry.hub.docker.com/busybox it shows:

registry.hub.docker.com/busybox: this image was pulled from a legacy registry.   Important: This registry version will not be supported in future versions of docker. 

But if I use docker pull registry.hub.docker.com/busybox.

It cannot pull the image.

Same situation when using curl -k https://registry.hub.docker.com/v1/repositories/busybox/tags

Answer 1

The registry path for official images (without a slash in the name) is library/<image>. Try this instead:

docker pull registry.hub.docker.com/library/busybox 

Answer 2

For those trying to create a Google Cloud instance using the "Deploy a container image to this VM instance." option then the correct url format would be

docker.io/<dockerimagename>:version

The suggestion above of registry.hub.docker.com/library/<dockerimagename> did not work for me.

I finally found the solution here (in my case, i was trying to run docker.io/tensorflow/serving:latest)
