Docker - pull from docker repo fails (EOF / 403) but download from RH repo works

Question

System info : RHEL 7.1 (fresh install) Docker 1.6.2 We're using the Docker rpm provided by RH in their "bonus" dvd's.

Issue : When I pull an image through docker, it only works when it's on the Red Hat repo.

# docker pull openshift3/mysql-55-rhel7
Trying to pull repository registry.access.redhat.com/openshift3/mysql-55-rhel7

When I pull an image from Docker repo... it fails. But - which is imho really weird - with different errors.

So first I pull httpd

# docker pull httpd
Trying to pull repository registry.access.redhat.com/httpd ... not found latest: Pulling from docker.io/httpd
64e5325c0d9d: Pulling fs layer

FATA[0040] Error pulling image (latest) from docker.io/httpd, ApplyLayer exit status 1 stdout:  stderr: unexpected EOF

But, pulling the hello-world gives

# docker pull hello-world
Trying to pull repository registry.access.redhat.com/hello-world ... not found
latest: Pulling from docker.io/hello-world

I'm on a corporate network and applied what's in this blog concerning proxies and certificate to get it running.

Answer 1

service docker stop

rm -r /var/lib/docker/*

service docker start

Worked for me. Note that this will very likely clear docker
