Root Cause
Docker Hub enforces anonymous pull rate limits (100 pulls per 6 hours per IP) and authenticated free tier limits (200 pulls per 6 hours per user); exceeding these blocks pulls.
generic中文
Docker Hub 对匿名拉取(每 6 小时每 IP 100 次)和经过身份验证的免费用户(每 6 小时 200 次)实施拉取速率限制;超出限制后会阻止拉取。

中文步骤
使用 docker login 通过 Docker Hub 账户进行身份验证(免费用户限制提高到每 6 小时 200 次拉取)。
升级到 Docker Pro/Team 订阅以获得无限拉取,或使用镜像注册表如 mirror.gcr.io。
Dead Ends
Common approaches that don't work:
-
Restart Docker daemon to reset rate limit counter
95% fail
Rate limit is enforced server-side by Docker Hub based on IP address and user account; restarting the daemon does not change the client IP or authentication status.
-
Use a VPN to get a different IP address
70% fail
While a new IP may reset anonymous limits temporarily, many corporate VPNs share IPs, causing the same limit to be hit again quickly; also violates many corporate security policies.
