docker search : Error response from daemon: Unexpected status code 401 (solved)

1. Problem description:¶

When trying to query the image through docker, a 401 was reported (probably no permission and no authentication)

# 10018318 @ Mrli in ~ [10:57:19]
$ docker search elasticsearch
Error response from daemon: Unexpected status code 401

After some searching, I located an article describing a similar problem:

https://forums.docker.com/t/error-response-from-daemon-unexpected-status-code-401/117194

It probably means that you are currently logged in, and when you try to search, there is a prompt that there is no authentication.

2. Solution¶

1. Execute the exit command

# 10018318 @ Mrli in ~ [10:57:34] C:1
$ docker logout
Removing login credentials for https://index.docker.io/v1/

2. After executing the previous search command, the search is successful

# 10018318 @ Mrli in ~ [11:04:05]
$ docker search elasticsearch

As for why it can’t be searched when logging in, it’s still being verified.
