Docker repository server gave HTTP response to HTTPS client

Question

I use Docker toolbox for windows and i`m trying run private docker registry from this documentation https://docs.docker.com/registry/deploying/

But it`s not work for me.

Answer 1

Hopefully this will help anyone having issues getting the insecure-registries fix to work.

Adding

{ "insecure-registries":["host:port"] }

to

/etc/docker/daemon.json

did not work for me until I created the file

/etc/default/docker

and put the line

DOCKER_OPTS="--config-file=/etc/docker/daemon.json"

in it and then restarted the docker daemon with

sudo systemctl stop docker and sudo systemctl start docker.

For some reason just doing a sudo systemctl restart docker did not work. It threw an error about trying to restart the service to quickly.

Also for ["host:port"] I used the IP of my Docker registry as opposed to the hostname as I did not have DNS or a hosts file setup to be able to find the registry by hostname.

This drove me absolutely nuts until I stumbled upon the /etc/default/docker bit here.

I am new to Docker and so I don't know if this is new requirement since this initial post was answered or if there was something else I missed when I first setup my registry. Though all I did was to follow the current docs on the Docker site itself.
