Docker Rate Limit Error on Launcher Rebuild

Support
1

When running a ./launcher rebuild app, I get the following errors:

x86_64 arch detected.

WARNING: We are about to start downloading the Discourse base image

The site is running fine, but I need to install some plugins. I am trying to get a clean rebuild of the app before making any changes to the app.yml file. Thoughts?

I tried again 10 hours later. Same result. The docker hub time window is 6 hours.

This is a clean discourse install within the last 40 days. No plugins or customization at this time. So….

How is discourse hub accessed from a credential perspective? Anonymous? Discourse login?

Is there a way to set a personal discourse hub credentials to bypass the rate limiter?

Thank you.

A possibly useful test is the very small hello world image:

/var/discourse# docker run hello-world
Unable to find image 'hello-world:latest' locally
latest: Pulling from library/hello-world
478afc919002: Pull complete 
Digest: sha256:5b3cc85e16e3058003c13b7821318369dad01dac3dbb877aac3c28182255c724
Status: Downloaded newer image for hello-world:latest

Hello from Docker!
This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly.

To generate this message, Docker took the following steps:
 1. The Docker client contacted the Docker daemon.
 2. The Docker daemon pulled the "hello-world" image from the Docker Hub.
    (arm64v8)
 3. The Docker daemon created a new container from that image which runs the
    executable that produces the output you are currently reading.
 4. The Docker daemon streamed that output to the Docker client, which sent it
    to your terminal.

To try something more ambitious, you can run an Ubuntu container with:
 $ docker run -it ubuntu bash

I just encountered this problem on two Discourse forums (different servers/IPs).

I hope this isn’t a sudden restriction by Docker to try to force people to pay.
