TransIP's SandboxVPSs make exclusive use of IPv6. Like us, most parties embrace the worldwide adoption of IPv6, but there are exceptions. Docker Hub supports IPv6 as a beta feature for example at the time of writing (december 2021). Please note that IPv6 for Docker Desktop is not yet supported and is still in active development by Docker's developers.

More information about Docker Hub's IPv6 beta support can be found here. You can make use of Docker Hub using an IPv6 network (e.g. from your SandboxVPS) by using the endpoint registry.ipv6.docker.com as follows:

Step 1

Log in using your Docker Hub credentials.

docker login registry.ipv6.docker.com

Step 2

Add the IPv6 only endpoint to the image you'd like to push or pull, for example for the official Ubuntu image:

docker pull registry.ipv6.docker.com/library/ubuntu:latest

Please note that library is only used for official images. Replace this as required, for example for dockerfile:

docker pull registry.ipv6.docker.com/docker/dockerfile:latest
