Apologies but there is not much to replicate as you haven't shared anything with us. Can you please go through our [documentation for running Elasticsearch in docker](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.5/docker.html) and see if you missed anything?

Hi Ioannis,

After I run

docker pull [docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:7.5.2](http://docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:7.5.2)

I receive

Error response from daemon: Get [https://docker.elastic.co/v2/:](https://docker.elastic.co/v2/:) EOF

the url leads to  
{"errors":[{"code":"UNAUTHORIZED","message":"authentication required","detail":null}]}

This is the first step in the documentation right? Are there steps specified elsewhere that I could be missing?

Hi there, there appears to be a transient issue with [docker.elastic.co](http://docker.elastic.co) and we're looking into it

google seems to indicate that users ran into this issue march 2019... maybe it's an annual thing? 😉

I actually misspoke earlier today, there is no transient issue with `docker.elastic.co` . Could it be there is a firewall or proxy in your network messing with the connection ( see a simlar issue [here](https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/978#issue-15846084) )? Can you i.e. pull or search images from other registries ?
