manifest unknown: The named manifest is not known to the registry when pulling from remote repository on artifactory

Question

I have configured a remote docker repository on my new artifactory server which points to a virtual docker repo on a legacy artifactory server. I have tested the credentials to access the legacy server and they are working fine from the UI. On the UI for my new artifactory server I can even see the folder structure and all the artifacts from my legacy server. All the artifacts say "this item is not cached". I believe this is expected as it is meant as a representation of my upstream server and nothing has yet been pulled and cached locally.

I have then added this remote repository to a virtual docker repository on the new artifactory server.

The issue is that I am unable to pull items from my legacy server via the newly created remote or virtual repos.

I get the below error

Error response from daemon: manifest for obc-test-remote.myartifactoryserver.cloud/base-image:1.1.30 not found: manifest unknown: The named manifest is not known to the registry 

I get the same when I target via the virtual (which has the remote added to it)

Error response from daemon: manifest for obc-test-virtual.myartifactoryserver.cloud/base-image:1.1.30 not found: manifest unknown: The named manifest is not known to the registry 

the docker login is succeeded and I am able to pull other docker images with the same syntax from other virtual repos on the same server.

I unticked the option "Block pulling of image manifest v2 schema 1" in the remote repo configuration also

Seems an issue with the URL configured in the new Artifactory's remote repository. Can you check if this URL includes "api/docker" if not, make sure to have the URL as "http://myold-artifactory.com/artifactory/api/docker/docker-repo-name"
