Docker Outage History

From 8:35 AM UTC to 9:30 AM UTC, the DHI Catalog failed to display CVE details on the vulnerabilities tab for Docker Hardened Images, causing degraded visibility of security advisories for users reviewing vulnerabilities. This partial outage affected CVE visibility but did not indicate a broader service disruption. The incident lasted about 55 minutes and the rest of Docker's offerings remained available.

The Docker team issued four official updates during the incident. At 8:45 AM UTC a fix was being rolled out, at 8:55 AM UTC the fix was deployed and monitoring began, and by 9:30 AM UTC the CVE display had been restored and the Docker Hardened Images component returned to normal.

Users attempting to sign in to Docker Desktop faced authentication failures and sign-in delays as the Docker Authentication component encountered problems. The issue began at 6:10 PM UTC and was resolved by 6:50 PM UTC, lasting about 40 minutes.

The Docker status page documented an active investigation and later indicated the component had returned to normal operation.

An outage disrupted Docker Desktop downloads from desktop.docker.com and updates for about 1 hour 20 minutes, preventing users from installing or updating Docker Desktop. The issue was linked to a dependent service and briefly degraded the Docker Package Repositories component, affecting user attempts to obtain or apply Docker components.

The incident began at 9:40 PM UTC and was resolved by 11:00 PM UTC, lasting 1 hour 20 minutes. The Docker status page posted two updates during the incident, describing the dependency problem and the mitigation effort as the team worked toward restoration.

A scheduled authentication maintenance window rotated TLS certificates for auth.docker.io and auth.docker.com, affecting Docker Hub Registry, Docker Authentication, Docker Hub Web Services, and Docker Desktop. The maintenance ran from 1:55 PM UTC to 3:15 PM UTC, and no service interruption was expected. Users may have seen a one-time prompt to trust the new certificate during the window. The work was limited to authentication services with no impact on user workloads. The provider issued two status updates during the incident as the changes progressed.

Docker Hub experienced a brief partial outage with some pages not loading. The incident affected three components—Docker Hub Registry, Docker Hub Web Services, and Docker Authentication—and was isolated to page loading while push and pull operations remained functional. The outage began at 3:30 PM UTC and was resolved by 3:45 PM UTC, lasting roughly 15 minutes. User report activity was low during the event.

Docker and status updates indicated the degradation affected the web-facing services while core image operations continued to work, and the services returned to normal after the short disruption.

Docker Hub Automated Builds experienced a brief outage during a scheduled maintenance window, with Automated Builds unavailable for about 45 minutes. The incident began at Jan 12, 2026 1:05 PM UTC and was resolved by Jan 12, 2026 1:50 PM UTC. The Docker status page posted a maintenance alert titled 'Docker Hub Automated Builds Maintenance,' noting that Automated Builds would be unavailable during the period. The provider issued two status updates during the incident before services returned to normal.

An authentication issue affected Docker Desktop users, with some reporting an immediate sign-out after a successful login attempt. The outage began at 7:40 PM UTC and lasted about 1 hour and 40 minutes, until 9:20 PM UTC.

The Docker status page indicated an investigation and issued updates as teams worked to restore access. The incident affected Docker Authentication and involved 2 official status updates during the event.

The Docker Billing component experienced a brief degraded state starting at 9:45 PM UTC and resolving by 9:50 PM UTC, lasting about 5 minutes. This likely affected billing-related checks and actions within Docker accounts, while other Docker services remained available. The Docker status page recorded two updates during the incident, first listing the issue as a warning for Docker Billing and later returning the component to normal as service was restored.

Users experienced that newly pushed images did not appear in the Docker Hub repos list UI, while push and pull commands remained functional. The issue affected the Docker Hub Registry, Docker Hub Web Services, and the Docker.com Website, causing UI entries to lag or be missing despite backend operations working as expected. The outage began at 9:00 AM UTC and was resolved by 9:50 PM UTC, lasting approximately 12 hours and 50 minutes.

An authentication failure disrupted Docker's platform, causing login problems and difficulties pulling images for many users. The outage began at 4:45 PM UTC as an Early Warning Signal and affected 12 components across Docker services, including Docker Build Cloud, Docker Scout, Testcontainers Cloud, Docker Cloud, Docker Hardened Images, Docker Offload, Docker Hub Registry, Docker Authentication, Docker Hub Web Services, Docker Package Repositories, Docker Hub Automated Builds, and Docker Hub Security Scanning. User reports described login failures and trouble pulling images across multiple regions. The Docker status page acknowledged an internal auth system failure and said a fix was in progress. StatusGator detected the issue at Dec 17, 2025 4:45 PM UTC, 10 minutes before the official acknowledgment. The Early Warning Signal ended at Dec 17, 2025 5:06 PM UTC and the outage was resolved by 5:10 PM UTC.
