Unable to pull docker image, getting 'remote error: access denied'

Question

I'm trying to check the installation docker pull hello-world

But getting the following error:

Pulling repository hello-world
Get https://index.docker.io/v1/repositories/library/hello-world/images: remote error: access denied

I have CentOS 6.5

Docker version 1.7.1, build 786b29d/1.7.1

I'm in a corporate network but curl https://index.docker.io/v1/repositories/library/hello-world/images forks fine.

What might be the issue?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

I got this error while I was trying to pull mongodb image instead of mongo .

So make sure image name is correct. The very same error message happens on both run and pull commands.

Answer 2

Had the same problem & error on the host working via proxy.

In essence - if you are behind an HTTP proxy server, you will need to add proxy configuration in the Docker systemd service file.

(See at "HTTP proxy" section).

This helped me.

Answer 3

Did you add your user in docker group

Otherwise, you should execute docker command with sudo before

docker pull hello-world
