Kitematic is stuck at connecting to Docker hub when attempting to download image

After installing Docker Desktop I tried creating a basic container of "hello-world-nginx". I saw container download is stuck, so I created a docker hub account and connected Kitematic to it.

This in turn showed me a spinning Load Indicator with the text: "Connecting to docker hub" that did not end.

Solution

  • I saw this post indicating its a bug.

    In order to solve:

    1. keep the container that is 'downloading' in the container list (do not remove)
    2. Restart Kitematic.
