Docker hangs forever during pulling image layers

Question

I am trying to build docker image, but docker hangs forever during downloading image layers:

I tried this several times, and it just stops downloading at different points. I also tried docker-machine restart without any effect.

I am using docker machine on Mac OS X:

$ docker -v
Docker version 1.9.1, build a34a1d5
$ docker-machine -v
docker-machine version 0.5.5, build 02c4254

Any idea how to fix it?

I have the same issue right now. No idea how to fix it either. Any help would be appreciated. – Kenzie

try other docker images to locate the issues (may have connection issues to this docker images), also increase the memory for the VM – Natoshanatron

I used to have this problem all the time, but never with docker > 1.12 and docker-machine 0.8.0. Does this still occur? – Procter

Which filesystem do you use for Docker? I was seeing this with overlayFS. And does this happen for all images or just specific ones? – Zooplankton

Answer 1

I had a similar problem and I've switched from using Docker Toolbox to Docker For Mac and now it runs smoothly.

Here's a comparison: https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/docker-toolbox/

Also make sure you have the latest Docker For Mac
