DockerHub Pull Rate Limit: Need Help with Workarounds

Asked By TechWhiz2023 On

I've been using Playwright healthcheck builds in Bamboo with Docker, and while I managed over 30 successful builds yesterday with the same setup, I'm hitting a snag today. I'm getting a message saying, "toomanyrequests: You have reached your unauthenticated pull rate limit. You can find more info at https://www.docker.com/increase-rate-limit." I waited about 6 hours hoping it would reset but I'm still facing the same issue. Unfortunately, company policy prevents me from logging into DockerHub, and I'm using the base images `node:20` and `nginx:stable-alpine`. The builds are triggered by commits on Bitbucket and run on Bamboo agents. I'm really looking for some advice on this situation. Specifically:
1. What changed from yesterday to today?
2. Does waiting overnight completely reset the pull limit?
3. Any solutions or workarounds since I can't log in to DockerHub? I thought I checked everything and it seems just like yesterday when the builds went through smoothly. I'd appreciate any help!

I hear you! I recently had to rebuild some servers and also faced trouble downloading images. I tried using the official Docker registry with a pull-through cache, but it didn't work out for me. I ended up saving images from an existing server and transferring them, but that's not ideal for updates. Just wanted to share my experience, hoping someone can offer better solutions!

You might want to try using `public.ecr.aws/docker/library/node:20` and `public.ecr.aws/nginx/nginx:stable-alpine` instead of pulling directly from DockerHub. These are public ECR repositories and might avoid the rate limits you’re facing.

Consider setting up a Pull-Through Cache like Harbor, which allows you to pull images through it rather than directly from DockerHub. This might help you avoid issues with the pull rate limits. We've had success with this method!

Setting up a local or cloud Docker registry with remote capabilities could be a great solution. I wrote an article on how to beat Docker rate limits with a service called RepoFlow. They offer caching and image hosting with a decent free plan that might work for you. Check it out!
