4.25.0 error response from daemon: timeout and connection refused

[atli-c]

Description

Docker Desktops internal DNS seems broken.

I cannot pull images or log in to registry. Trying to pull alpine:latest I get error message:

Error response from daemon: Get "https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/": proxyconnect tcp: dial tcp: lookup http.docker.internal on 192.168.65.7:53: read udp 192.168.65.6:58831->192.168.65.7:53: i/o timeout

Also cannot pull image from self-hosted registry. Note a different error message though:

Error response from daemon: Get "https://registry.example.net/v2/": proxyconnect tcp: dial tcp: lookup http.docker.internal on 192.168.65.7:53: read udp 192.168.65.6:55912->192.168.65.7:53: read: connection refused
The real domain is replaced with "registry.example.net" for this bug report.

Reproduce

Fails with "timeout": docker pull alpine:latest

Fails with "connection refused":

• docker pull mcr.microsoft.com/playwright:v1.39.0
• docker pull registry.example.net/demo/example (obviously not our real domain. Running registry:2.8.2)
• docker login -u demo -p demo registry.example.net

Expected behavior

Should be able to pull images.

After a few minutes basic docker commands like docker ps and docker version started hanging. Restarting Docker Desktop fixed it, at least for a while.

same problem here after upgrade to version/4.25.0, and macOS Sonoma

[namqdam]

I have the same issue on macOS Monterey (M1) with version 4.25.0

[t3easy]

Had the same problem. After giving at least 512MB swap it's working again.

[t3easy]

Seems to be the same as #7044

[atli-c]

It does seem to be the same as #7044 . I have given Docker Desktop the minimum amount of swap (512 MB) and now it's working.

Same here, no working with 0MB swap, then change to 512MB and it works.

Works for me too. Thank you ;)

I have the same issue on macOS Monterey (M1) with version 4.25.0

FWIW, this is consistently happening to me since I upgraded to v4.25.0 on macOS 14.0 with the following resources:

• Memory: 16GB
• Swap: 2GB (increased from 1GB)
• Disk: 120GB

Use case is pulumi up with some 7/8 images being built and pushed in parallel. I'll try adding some more resources ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[djs55]

Thanks for the report, there is a definitely an issue when the swap is set to zero. I've created a development build with a fix:

• Intel Docker.dmg
• Apple Silicon Docker.dmg

If you're having problems with swap, let me know if that helps.

If your case has swap enabled it's probably a different issue. Could you reproduce, upload a diagnostics and quote the ID?

[h-rub-ksms]

As a temporary solution, if you change the default configuration of the swap memory (from 1 to 1.5 for example), the error is solved.

I resolve it by switching to https://orbstack.dev/...

We've released a new version of Docker Desktop containing a fix for this issue, you can see the release notes! I'll close this issue for now, but if the issue persists, feel free to open a new issue!
