Docker versions 1.6 and above use the Docker Registry V2 API however it is still liable to make requests looking for an old V1 registry. I think I saw there is a configuration option to make Docker avoid making any /v1/ requests.
I saw this option very recently but now I can't find it. I suspect it was in a page linked to by the Docker email that told us the Registry will stop supporting Docker versions prior to 1.6
I know Docker only looks for a V1 registry when it has no luck looking for /v2 but I want to stop it altogether. How can I stop Docker making requests to /v1/ registry URLs under any circumstances ?
