When I start convox locally, it fails when trying to pull a private image from docker hub, public images work fine.

I add the registry using the “convox registries add” command. Convox starts and states that login has succedded, but still fails when it gets to the private image.

Is there something else I need to do to pull private images in a local rack?

Hey @rsbondoc,  
Yeah, we’re aware there’s an issue there surrounding the protocol for the registry, we have a fix that’s impending to resolve this!

Thanks 😊

Thanks @ed_convox!

Any idea on when that might be? Does this issue affect only a local rack?

Hey @rsbondoc ,  
that rack release is just out now 😄It would affect AWS racks as well. Give it a go and let us know what happens!
