Hi, I have just set up my first rancher with a master and 3 separate hosts. All running centos7 and latest docker 1.11 Now im trying to start my first simple container with the Add Container button I get this error in the logs on the hosts where ist trying to start it: ```auto 2016-05-06 12:08:53,368 ERROR agent [140664992217840] [event.py:112] Error in request : f0e00130-8147-48d8-be89-35aa033def05 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/var/lib/cattle/pyagent/cattle/agent/event.py", line 95, in _worker_main resp = agent.execute(req) File "/var/lib/cattle/pyagent/cattle/agent/ __init__.py", line 15, in execute return self._router.route(req) File "/var/lib/cattle/pyagent/cattle/plugins/core/event_router.py", line 13, in route resp = handler.execute(req) File "/var/lib/cattle/pyagent/cattle/agent/handler.py", line 34, in execute return method(req=req, **req.data. __dict__ ) File "/var/lib/cattle/pyagent/cattle/storage/ __init__.py", line 27, in image_activate action=lambda: self._do_image_activate(image, storage_pool, File "/var/lib/cattle/pyagent/cattle/agent/handler.py", line 72, in _do action() File "/var/lib/cattle/pyagent/cattle/storage/ __init__.py", line 28, in progress) File "/var/lib/cattle/pyagent/cattle/plugins/docker/storage.py", line 151, in _do_image_activate insecure_registry=True): File "/var/lib/cattle/pyagent/dist/docker/api/image.py", line 200, in pull self._raise_for_status(response) File "/var/lib/cattle/pyagent/dist/docker/client.py", line 146, in _raise_for_status raise errors.APIError(e, response, explanation=explanation) APIError: 401 Client Error: Unauthorized ("Get https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/rancher/agent-instance/manifests/v0.8.1: unauthorized: incorrect username or password") ``` There are no problems starting something like “docker run -it --name=second\_container ubuntu:14.04.2” on the host. That container shows up on the host in the rancher master gui… Cant help feeling Im missing something crucial but I have followed the documentation closely… ---

Did you set up a Docker registry in the Registries section? It sounds like there is a docker username/password located under Infrastructure/Registries. Even if you don’t reference the username/password, it will use those credentials when pulling images. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/suse/original/2X/0/05ebe53dfaaf877a10495a071876a5faf8cc2e91.png) ---

Hi! Thanks for the quick answer. Yes I had configured my private DockerHub account on the Registry section. Everything started working as soon as I removed the registry configuration. Thanks! One question remains as to why? Why cant I have my own private registry connected to get access my images and install your haproxy service for example, or as in this case just a simple ubuntu image? i could imagine that there are some security concerns perhaps? (I was thinking it would work by downloading the rancher/agent-instance:v0.8.1 and push it to my own registry? But then it wont be accessible under that name…) ---

You should be able to still have your Docker registry credentials and pull any public image. But the error you showed was showing that there was a typo in your credentials (incorrect username or password). We have some open enhancements around being able to validate credentials. > ---

DOH! I do beg your forgiveness for taking up your time with a simple typo… _red face of embarrassment_ ---
