Docker image pull 500 Internal server error

I pulled nginx:latest image however I got the error : error pulling image configuration: download failed after attempts=6: received unexpected HTTP status: 500 Internal Server Error

What does it mean and how to make it work?

Solution

  • There is an active incident today. From https://www.dockerstatus.com/:

    February 6, 2025 08:58 UTC [Investigating] We are investigating an issue with customers and users not able to pull images from Docker Hub.

    error pulling image configuration: download failed after attempts=6: received unexpected HTTP status: 500 Internal Server Error

    This seems to be affecting un-authenticated pulls only.
