Unable to pull images with WSL2 engine

[kobelobster]

• [x] I have tried with the latest version of my channel (Stable or Edge)
• [x] I have uploaded Diagnostics
• Diagnostics ID: 58AC6771-806B-49B7-A768-71D7FE1BF58F/20200523095536

I have the same issue as in https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/6494, however I never had docker installed natively so I can't even uninstall it from WSL 2.

$ sudo apt-get remove docker docker-engine docker.io containerd runc
$ Reading package lists... Done
$ Building dependency tree
$ Reading state information... Done
$ Package 'docker-engine' is not installed, so not removed
$ Package 'docker' is not installed, so not removed

$ Package 'docker.io' is not installed, so not removed
$ Package 'runc' is not installed, so not removed
$ 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded

But running docker commands works without problems

$ docker --version
Docker version 19.03.8, build afacb8b7f0

However, when I now want to pull an image the image doesn't get pulled bc. of the error

Expected behavior

Actual behavior

$ docker-compose up
$ Pulling nginx (nginx:)...
$ latest: Pulling from library/nginx
$ afb6ec6fdc1c: Downloading [==================================================>]  41.06kB/41.06kB
$ b90c53a0b692: Download complete

$ ERROR: unexpected EOF
$ docker-compose up
$ Pulling nginx (nginx:)...
$ ERROR: Get https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/library/nginx/manifests/latest: unexpected EOF

And even when not using docker-compose but docker I also get an error

$ docker run --name some-nginx -v /some/content:/usr/share/nginx/html:ro -d nginx
$ Unable to find image 'nginx:latest' locally
$ docker: Error response from daemon: Get https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/: EOF.
$ See 'docker run --help'.

Information

• Windows Version: Version 2004 (Build 19041.264)
• Docker Desktop Version: 2.3.0.2
• Are you running inside a virtualized Windows e.g. on a cloud server or on a mac VM: In WSL 2

Steps to reproduce the behavior

This is a simple docker-compose.yaml I'm using, but like I said, even when using docker instead of docker-compose, I'm getting the same error

[bklooste]

The EOF suggest a networking / firewall issue ..

What happens if you get https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/library/nginx/manifests/latest with curl in WSL2 ?

When i try to get this it needs a password , Have you tried a simple hello world container ?

[pauxus]

same behaviour here. Curl to the failed url (https://auth.docker.io/token?scope=repository%3Alibrary%2Fbusybox%3Apull&service=registry.docker.io) works without a problem.

[kobelobster]

Seems like I missed your comment @bklooste - For me it's the same as @pauxus . Curl works without any problems .

I tried other containers and they all had the same issues.

[TheForcer]

Currently facing the same issue here after a fresh Install of Windows, WSL2 Ubuntu 20.04 and Docker Desktop 2.3.0.3. Pulling any image from Docker Hub fails with the EOF error, but weirdly enough I can pull images from quay.io for example.

The curls from above also seem to require authentication on my side (am logged in).

[pranavagg]

Same issue here even with running hello-world Somehow able to pull this docker run -dp 80:80 docker/getting-started

[PatrickGoettsch]

I am facing the same issue. I also run a fresh installation of Windows, WSL2, Ubuntu and Docker. In Docker I can login to docker. But on command line it fails most of the time. When I try to perfom docker pull hello-world I get the error: Using default tag: latest Error response from daemon: Get https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/library/hello-world/manifests/latest: Get https://auth.docker.io/token?account=p***&scope=repository%3Alibrary%2Fhello-world%3Apull&service=registry.docker.io: unexpected EOF While pulling jugit-registry.fz-juelich.de/docker-images/gitlabci-latex works directly. In the desktop app I am still logged in. I tried to follow the idea with the proxy. But I have no proxy in my setup.

[kobelobster]

I just re-installed Windows 2004 from scratch (before, I did an upgrade, so I thought a fresh install might work). Even when using the getting started image

❯ docker run -dp 80:80 docker/getting-started
Unable to find image 'docker/getting-started:latest' locally
docker: Error response from daemon: Get https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/docker/getting-started/manifests/latest: Get https://auth.docker.io/token?scope=repository%3Adocker%2Fgetting-started%3Apull&service=registry.docker.io: unexpected EOF.
See 'docker run --help'.

[mortensassi]

Same issue here, but only when i work directly in ~ When i am in /mnt/m/Sites/MySite the pull works correctly

[PatrickGoettsch]

I checked it on my system. First in a subdir of ~, it gave the same error and also on another HD. It still gives the same error. The docker desktop apllication says that I am logged in but I am not able to login on command line. There I also get an orror with EOF.

[mortensassi]

@PatrickGoettsch For me it was my router and after unchecking a setting it worked: This comment on another issue helped

[PatrickGoettsch]

Thanks. Changing this helped and solved the issue for the moment. But this rises a question wether this problem is related to Docker or to in my case AVM?

[kobelobster]

I would say Docker for Windows OR WSL related. I have a FritzBox as well, but I don't have a problem with pulling docker images on native linux works without any problems. It's just inside WSL 2 it doesn't work. I also think in WSL1 it worked as well without any problems.

Maybe it's also a combination of the two.

[mortensassi]

@kobelobster which ISP do you use? according to other issues it could be related to Vodafone since all people who where affected were either unitymedia or vodafone customer

[kobelobster]

@mortensassi I am a Vodafone customer, however, I'm a Vodafone customer as well when working with Linux or using Docker without WSL2 and there it works without any problems. So I fail to see how it can be only related to AVM or Vodafone, if it works with the same components without Windows/WSL2.

[sgtoj]

I have a similar issue....

If I pull an image or build from an image not cached locally, it just hangs. No error is thrown. However, I am able to pull images if I use sudo.

This started happening to me yesterday. But first I had to reset docker to factory defaults because I couldn't start it anymore after a Windows 10 Pro Insider Preview upgrade

[laser-me]

It also started for me.

As a workaround: I pull images in windows, after that they available in wsl2.

same problem here. After i updated the latest insider preview i was getting stuck in pulling images. But i can pull image using windows command prompt. This error is only with wsl2. I cannot say that it is a problem with ISP since i was able to pull image on windows cmd.

fixed by running with sudo

[patricknazar]

I had the same problem and also couldn't build, and they were both related an auth issue. see my comment here

If you run docker-compose --verbose pull/build xyz and it gets stuck on auth, this could be your problem. In short: In an elevated powershell echo https://index.docker.io/v1/ | docker-credential-desktop.exe erase

Edit: ...and now it doesn't work. Arg.

Edit: Refer to #7808

[luislavena]

Same issue here, was only able to pull images within WSL2 by using sudo, but a regular Command Prompt work without issues:

[ThaDaVos]

Is there any fix for this? I can confirm pulling with sudo works, but I get an error when trying to do the same with docker-compose

[rikkit]

This workaround works for me - https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/7808#issuecomment-664034094

Observed something similar after upgrading to 4.2.0. This seems to be caused by ~/.docker/config.json, which points back to Windows for the credential store. If Docker Hub is for any reason inaccessible (e.g., is blocked or proxies are needed to access), docker CLI in WSL hangs for a long time (about 5 minutes) before doing anything. Removing ~/.docker/config.json seemed to fix the issue. This should explain why sudo docker pull works without delay, as root user doesn't have the harmful Docker Desktop configuration in its home folder.
