docker pull failed. manifest invalid: manifest invalid - artifactory - docker

Question

docker 1.9.1 pull on centos7 is failing when pulling from private V2 registry.
$ docker -v
Docker version 1.9.1, build 78ee77d/1.9.1
$ docker pull web-docker.bin-repo.hostname.com/web-dev:latest
Trying to pull repository web-docker.bin-repo.hostname.com/web-dev ...
failed
manifest invalid: manifest invalid
The same command works fine on osx with docker 1.10.3. Can anyone tell me why this isn't working and how to troubleshoot further?
update: here is the manifest it's trying to pull. It can pull v1 manifests, but fails on v2 manifests like the one below.

Answer 1

For this issue what I observed is that whenever you push the same image artifact for the second time with same SHA, we will observe this issue.
To Solve this, I would recommend giving permission to override/delete the mainifest file in artifactory.
This will definitely solve this issue.

Problem resolved itself after upgrading to a new version of Docker. (Docker version 1.10.3, build 20f81dd) The standard yum repo lags behind in versions, so add the docker repo and get the latest version of docker:
sudo yum update
Add the yum repo:
sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/docker.repo <<-'EOF'
[dockerrepo]
name=Docker Repository
baseurl=https://yum.dockerproject.org/repo/main/centos/$releasever/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://yum.dockerproject.org/gpg
EOF
Install the docker-engine:
sudo yum install docker-engine
Start the daemon:
sudo service docker start
Add the insecure-registry flag (if the priv registry does not have a cert)
sudo vi /usr/lib/systemd/system/docker.service
ExecStart=/usr/bin/docker daemon --insecure-registry web-docker.bin-repo.hostname.com -H fd://
Reload the daemon:
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
Pull from the private registry:
sudo docker pull web-docker.bin-repo.hostname.com/web-dev:latest
latest: Pulling from web-dev
