x509: certificate signed by unknown authority - both with docker and with github
As mentioned in crypto/x509/root_unix.go
, Go (which is what Docker uses) will check CA certificates in
"/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt", // Debian/Ubuntu/Gentoo etc."/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt", // Fedora/RHEL"/etc/ssl/ca-bundle.pem", // OpenSUSE"/etc/ssl/cert.pem", // OpenBSD"/usr/local/share/certs/ca-root-nss.crt", // FreeBSD/DragonFly"/etc/pki/tls/cacert.pem", // OpenELEC"/etc/certs/ca-certificates.crt", // Solaris 11.2+
Make sure those files are available and not corrupted.
There can be also sporadic issue with the CDN, as in this comment:
because now it works :+1: . It must be a amazon edge isssue
The last thread also includes the following check:
The user reporting the issue either has non of those files or those files don't include the
rapidssl
cert.
We could ask them to send us those files and check if the certificate is included.
The user may also try this:
openssl s_client -showcerts -verify 32 -connect index.docker.io:443
If that fails, the certificates are missing.
Regarding GitHub, be aware it is under a massive DDoS attack at the moment, which could have other side-effects beside the certificate issue.
In Ubuntu 16.04 , should work with other versions as well.
Create/copy .crt under /usr/local/share/ca-certificates
:
sudo cp installation/certificates/docker-registry.crt \/usr/local/share/ca-certificates
And then run
sudo update-ca-certificates
This will add the certificate under /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
and then restart docker:
sudo systemctl daemon-reloadsudo systemctl restart docker
Well I was facing a similar issue. And here is it, where I was:
My Scenario:Built an Ubuntu VM on Oracle VB, and started building my K8s cluster. The docker fails to pull the calico images. Throwing out below errors:
Failed to pull image "docker.io/calico/cni:v3.18.2": rpc error [...]INFO[0009] Get https://registry-1.docker.io/v2: x509: certificatesigned by unknown authority.
Then I tried to perform a simple 'docker login' to the default registry, which lead me to the same error.
These were the outcomes learnt from, an entire day, reading and learning:
- you can use a self signed certificate
- you can get a CA certificate from the official website
TBH, none of the above lessons lead me to eureka!
So, here is what I did:
I downloaded the certificate from the actual registry, and added it to /etc/docker/certs/[registry_domain_name]
and the appended the same to the SSL CA certificate on the server. And guess what, I did give me results. So here are the steps in detail below:
Step 1: openssl s_client -showcerts -connect ${DOMAIN}:${PORT}</dev/null2>/dev/null|openssl x509 -outform PEM >ca.crt
What I Ran: openssl s_client -showcerts -connect registry-1.docker.io:443 </dev/null 2>/dev/null|openssl x509 -outform PEM >ca.crt
Step 2: sudo cp ca.crt /etc/docker/certs.d/${DOMAIN}/ca.crt
What I Ran: sudo cp ca.crt /etc/docker/certs.d/registry-1.docker.io/ca.crt
Step 3: cat ca.crt | sudo tee -a /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
Step 4: sudo service docker restart
