error pulling image configuration: download failed after attempts=6: dial tcp: lookup docker-images-prod.6aa30f8b08e16409b46e0173d6de2f56.r2.cloudflarestorage.com: Temporary failure in name resolution

It worked day before yesterday on running images such as nginx and ubuntu but now it shows error on all. Idk how to fix this.

I am able to ping cloudflare and i tried it. but not the whole docker-images-prod.6aa30f8b08e16409b46e0173d6de2f56.r2.cloudflarestorage.com.
Restart `docker.service`.

Re: Docker "error pulling image: Temporary failure in name resolution"

Hey, welcome to the forum. May I get the docker command you were running and what exactly you were going to do?
These kind of errors usually involve:

1. You not having a reliable DNS server as "Temporary failure in name resolution" implies a DNS failure.
2. You downloading a ressource in the middle of it getting updated (not very likely though)
3. Cloudflare having an outage (also not very likely)

Thanks!
