Docker official registry (Docker Hub) URL

Question

The official docker hub website has been moved from  https://hub.docker.com/ to https://registry.hub.docker.com.

I tried to pull a docker image using the docker pull command but it shows me this:

registry.hub.docker.com/busybox: this image was pulled from a legacy registry. Important: This registry version will not be supported in future versions of docker.

Instead, If I try to make use of this command:

$docker pull registry.hub.docker.com/busybox.

docker is not able to pull the image.

also same if i use:

 curl -k https://registry.hub.docker.com/v1/repositories/busybox/tags

Answer 1

If you want to pull any of the official images the registry path for them is library/<image>.

Try this:

$ docker pull registry.hub.docker.com/library/busybox

Hope that helped :)

Answer 2

The command required when you want to pull an image from DockerHub to your local machine is docker pull <image-name> and in your case, the command would be docker pull busybox.

The link provided in your case is incorrect, hence the 401 Gone error. 

The updated URL for the Docker registry is https://hub.docker.com/ and the link to access the busybox image tags would be https://hub.docker.com/_/busybox/tags.
