Root Cause

Docker image tag doesn't exist in registry. Common after version bumps or architecture mismatches.

Workarounds

  1. 95% success Check available tags on Docker Hub or registry and use exact version 
    docker manifest inspect image:tag

    Sources: https://docs.docker.com/reference/cli/docker/manifest/inspect/

  2. 88% success Verify image name spelling and registry URL (docker.io vs ghcr.io vs ecr) 
    docker.io vs ghcr.io vs ecr

    Sources: https://docs.docker.com/reference/cli/docker/image/pull/

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Pull with --platform flag blindly 55% fail

    May pull wrong arch image causing exec format error at runtime

  2. Use :latest tag instead 60% fail

    latest is mutable, unpredictable, and may not exist for all images
