[Starlingx-discuss] DockerHub rate limit issues

[Scott Little]

Here is a sample from a failed build ...

docker build . --no-cache ...
Sending build context to Docker daemon  37.68MB

Step 1/9 : FROMgolang:1.19
toomanyrequests: You have reached your pull rate limit. You may increase the limit by authenticating and upgrading:https://www.docker.com/increase-rate-limit
make: *** [builder-build] Error 1

One thing to note, It's pulls from within our build container that hits 
the problem.  We don't see it when pulling from bare metal hardware.

I've tried raising the issue with the docker community here ...

We seem to be avoiding the rate limit by using docker login. Formal 
StarlingX builds are using a couple of service accounts. Designers were 
asked establish there own personal accounts with dockerhub.
