I’m currently trying to install Docker on my old Raspberry Pi (3 Model B+) to host some personal projects. When I run docker run hello-world, I get:

Unable to find image 'hello-world:latest' locally
docker: Error response from daemon: Get "https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/library/hello-world/manifests/sha256:ec153840d1e635ac434fab5e377081f17e0e15afab27beb3f726c3265039cfff": dial tcp [2600:1f18:2148:bc00:eff:d3ae:b836:fa07]:443: connect: network is unreachable

My Internet connection does not support IPv6 at all, which would explain why this error occurs. But how do I force docker-pull to only use IPv4?

    Ok, so it’s probably using NetworkManager. I would try disabling it in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf by adding a block like:

    [ipv6]
addr-gen-mode=stable-privacy
method=disabled

    Then sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager. Can’t say for sure if this will work. I dislike using NetworkManager on my servers so I can’t test if this works. But hopefully the before/after of ip addr is different.

    Although it looks like your ip addr output posted an hour or so ago doesn’t show any ipv6 addressing. Maybe the problem is solved now.

      Unfortunately not.

       docker run hello-world
Unable to find image 'hello-world:latest' locally
docker: Error response from daemon: Get "https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/library/hello-world/manifests/sha256:ec153840d1e635ac434fab5e377081f17e0e15afab27beb3f726c3265039cfff": dial tcp [2600:1f18:2148:bc00:eff:d3ae:b836:fa07]:443: connect: network is unreachable

Run 'docker run --help' for more information

        Well crap. Do you have no ipv6 address now in ip addr?

        Guess I gave Docker too much benefit of the doubt and assumed it should failover to v4 once v6 was disabled. Bad assumption on my part.

        Could it be a DNS problem? If you dig registry-1.docker.io +short does it return an ipv4 or v6 address?

        It looks like there have been sporadic reports of problems from people since last year.

          Try adding {"ipv6": false} to your /etc/docker/daemon.json file (create it if it doesnt exist), then restart docker with sudo systemctl restart docker - this forces docker to use IPv4 only.

          Just comparing it by eye, there’s no change.
