Cannot pull public images - what's wrong?

[MrBRUE]

Hello,

I am trying to pull an open image and it gives me this error message:

Could you please give me a hint what is the matter?

Thanks

I have the same issue. On one of my machines I just tried to pull from this public repository: https://hub.docker.com/r/versioneye/mongodb/tags/. My pull command was:

docker pull versioneye/mongodb:3.4.6

And the error message is:

Error response from daemon: pull access denied for verisoneye/mongodb, repository does not exist or may require 'docker login'

Since then I need to be logged in to pull a public repo? That looks like a bug on Docker Hub.

If you are logged in to Docker on your local box and can't pull something from https://hub.docker.com/
try LOGGING OUT and re-pulling... I was looking at how the pull URLs were being formed and suddenly just thought this is account related somehow. And it worked for me.

I'm seeing this issue as well. I'm logged in and I'm trying to pull the public jpbarto/boto3-docker image. I get the same result for any public image. But I am able to pull official images. I enabled debugging and I see these messages in the system log.

Hello,
I am also facing the same issue for long.

docker: error pulling image configuration: error parsing HTTP 403 response body: invalid character '<' looking for beginning of value: "\nAccessDeniedAccess DeniedD634D3BBA357D010xFzYrWzhKFwkVlaPfjPGslggRdsgp6nFEtCJxy0NIB4lWTrVVUwv2q6iUeh7906MrZ+j5YdjE1Y=".
See 'docker run --help'.

I have tried doing docker login , upgrading/degrading the docker version.
Need help getting this sorted.

I was having the same issue as @shashanktyagi3192 above, in my situation I was trying to pull an image from within an AWS VPC. Turns out that Docker is hosting their images on S3, and my VPC has an S3 endpoint with a policy attached (which is a good thing). I added this statement to the endpoint policy and then it started working:

{
  "Sid": "DockerImageAccess",
  "Effect": "Allow",
  "Principal": "*",
  "Action": "s3:GetObject",
  "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::docker-images-prod/*"
}

Hopefully this helps someone in the future...
