Problem:
When installing n8n via Docker, you may encounter the following error:
n8n Error toomanyrequests: You have reached your unauthenticated pull ... 3.0s
Error response from daemon: toomanyrequests: You have reached your unauthenticated pull rate limit. https://www.docker.com/increase-rate-limit
This error occurs because you have reached the unauthenticated pull rate limit from Docker Hub.
Solution:
Step 1: Create a Docker Hub Account
-
Visit the Docker Hub signup page: Docker Hub Signup
-
Fill in your information and create a new account.
Step 2: Login to Docker Hub
-
Open your terminal.
-
Run the following command to log in to Docker Hub:
docker login docker.n8n.io -
You will be prompted to enter your Docker Hub username and password. Use the credentials you registered earlier.
Step 3: Retry n8n Installation
Once logged in, attempt to install n8n again. The rate limit issue should be resolved.
Why This Works:
By logging in to Docker Hub, your pull requests are authenticated and are no longer subject to the unauthenticated rate limits.
