Docker Error 500 - Unable to pull image on same instance

nottheend

Thank you!
Basically, pushing a image works to the registry with docker push also on the server (see below.

But I seem to have change something and while deploying the app with the cloudron npm command, I get an error of an invalid manifest file. Will have to dig into it (I have all required parameters). Probably my project structure is wrong:

App installation error: Installation failed: Unable to pull image dockerhub.domain.com/myuser/myapp. message: (HTTP code 404) unexpected - manifest for dockerhub.domain.com/myuser/myapp:latest not found: manifest unknown: manifest unknown statusCode: 404

Logs on server for docker push:

@nottheend said in Docker Error 500 - Unable to pull image on same instance:

I am a bit lost by now. Could it just be that the latest tag and or repository simply does not exist at dockerhub.domain.com/myuser/myapp ?

Can you otherwise docker pull from for example your laptop with the same image URI ?

nottheend

The error doesn't appear anymore. Not sure why (cloudron updated to v8 meanwhile).

The errors remaining are "typical build image errors". Thanks for your support!

timconsidine

Hmmm
I am now getting this error also

App is being installed.
=> Queued .
=> Registering subdomains
=> Downloading image ........................................
App installation error: Installation failed: Unable to pull image docker.domain.uk/cloudron-ocular:v1. registry error: {"reason":"server error","statusCode":500,"json":null}

But I can see the image in my docker registry so docker build and docker push is working.
The docker registry is on the Cloudron instance, but this has never been a problem before.

Have ensured docker login and cloudron install etc work

Running Cloudron v8.2.3 on Ubuntu 22.04

App install logs show :

box:docker pullImage: will pull docker.domain.uk/cloudron-ocular:v1. auth: no

Is that auth: no significant ?

Given that you see 500 status errors from your registry, can you check the logs there? 500 if used correctly refer to remote server errors. Auth failure would be in the 400 range (403, 402, ..)

timconsidine

In the docker registry app, logs show endless lines like this, but I don’t see errors as such :

Restarted the docker registry app on Cloudron, but same behaviour.
Image is visible in the registry app UI.

On local device I can do docker pull docker.domain.uk/image:tag so I guess the docker registry is ok, UI and images in app visible. And of course the docker push command worked.

@timconsidine said in Docker Error 500 - Unable to pull image on same instance:

Is that auth: no significant ?

if the registry requires authentication then yes, this appears significant. Can you check the settings in Private Registry? Are you also able to docker pull on the cloudron itself?

timconsidine

@girish yes I can docker push and docker pull on my desktop so auth here is not a problem.
Also I have logged out and logged back in.
Cloudron CLI is able to create the app and sub-domain, so my cloudron auth is ok.
And I can do cloudron uninstall —app blah

girish

@timconsidine the cloudron cli auth is different from the registry auth . I guess you had done docker login at some point in your desktop and this is why push/pull works.

The code is supposed to get the authentication info from the Settings -> Private Docker Registry in this function - https://git.cloudron.io/platform/box/-/blob/master/src/docker.js?ref_type=heads#L112 . Have you configured Private Docker Registry? If so, maybe you can put a couple of console.log in that function to see what is going wrong. Maybe something wrong in the parsing logic

timconsidine

Thanks @girish
In a shipping container in DE, will have to investigate once I get back
Not least because I don’t understand about settings but will dive in

timconsidine

Right, back now, and I’ve re-read things, but am still not understanding.
Maybe time to explain like I’m a 5 year old

Docker registry is installed in Cloudron instance from the App store.
No special or changed settings for the registry.
Nothing in the app UI anyway to do so, and I haven’t (consciously) changed /app/data/config.yml and certainly not recently.
Been using this registry for custom app builds and never had a problem, no need to configure it.

the cloudron cli auth is different from the registry auth

Yes. I was attempting (badly) to say everything works, well clearly not everything.
I can use cloudron CLI on desktop to install and uninstall
I can use docker CLI on desktop to login / logout of the cloudron-installed registry
I can open the registry app in browser, and can see that it has the custom app image (pushed from desktop).
But cloudron still reports 500, cannot find image

I have 2FA on my cloudron login - I can login to the registry app in a browser without re-entering it, but maybe the cloudron install doesn’t have access to an authenticated login. Is it expecting 2FA ?

authentication info from the Settings -> Private Docker Registry

This has been set, and has never been an issue before.
But has something changed to require 2FA, or a user with no 2FA, or a token not password ?

girish

@timconsidine your setup seems correct. The 2FA aspect is indeed interesting! Maybe you put password into Private Docker Registry before you enabled 2FA? After you enabled 2FA, just the password is not enough to authenticate. So, you have to generate an App Password from your profile and use that in the Private Docker Registry settings.

timconsidine

@girish thank you
Yes, it’s entirely possible that I added 2FA subsequently.
I will try with an app password.

girish

@timconsidine said in Docker Error 500 - Unable to pull image on same instance:

box:docker pullImage: will pull docker.domain.uk/cloudron-ocular:v1. auth: no

Is that auth: no significant ?

2FA note aside, this still seems wrong. It should say auth: yes. The docker.domain.uk (from docker.domain.uk/cloudron-ocular:v1) must match the server address you put in Private Docker Registry UI.

timconsidine

Existing container registry :

created an app password
updated settings for private registry to use that
desktop terminal : docker logout private registry then docker login with app password : success
desktop terminal : cloudron logout then cloudron login (with 2FA)
desktop terminal : cloudron install —image etc : failed

I’m lost.
Did I miss something ?

Superficially, cloudron is failing to access the container registry installed in the cloudron instance. Other connections seem to be working.
So superficially, it looks like a cloudron problem.
But too much grey hair to accept that at face value.

timconsidine

Suddden random thought : is there an IPV6 dimension to this ?
No reason for it to affect things (but who knows)

girish

@timconsidine I think the issue is that the auth info is not getting picked up for some reason. Do you have https or something in your serverAddress?

Easiest way is to put a console.log here - https://git.cloudron.io/platform/box/-/blob/master/src/docker.js?ref_type=heads#L122

console.log(registryConfig.serverAddress, parsedRef.registry)

Then systemctl restart box and install again. the line above should tell us why they are not matching.

timconsidine

@girish well done, you cracked it

Do you have https or something in your serverAddress?

Err yes. And it’s been like that since I started with custom apps.
Maybe there has been a change ? But doesn’t matter.
Removed it and working now.

I think some hint on the page setting the registry url should make clear that https:// is NOT needed would be useful.

But not a big issue.

girish

@timconsidine thanks, I have added a validation check now.

Cloudron makes it easy to run web apps like WordPress, Nextcloud, GitLab on your server. Find out more or install now.
