Ongoing DNS Resolution Issues with Docker on Ubuntu 24.04

[sandeepparmar1]

Description

I am experiencing persistent DNS resolution issues when attempting to pull images using Docker Engine on Ubuntu 24.04. Despite following the official troubleshooting steps, I am unable to resolve the problem.

Steps I have taken:

• Set IPv4 DNS servers (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4) in /etc/docker/daemon.json as recommended in the documentation.
• Removed the IPv6 nameserver from /etc/resolv.conf, leaving only IPv4 nameservers.
• Restarted the Docker service after making these changes.
• Attempted to pull images using both the default configuration and with the --dns flag specified on the command line.

Issue:

Docker continues to fail with errors indicating it is still attempting to use an IPv6 DNS server, even though only IPv4 DNS servers are configured. The error message is similar to:

Request:

Based on the official Docker documentation and troubleshooting guides, I have exhausted the recommended solutions. I would appreciate your guidance on how to resolve this issue or any additional steps I can take to ensure Docker uses only the specified IPv4 DNS servers.

Reproduce

docker pull anyImage:tag
error pulling image configuration: download failed after attempts=6: dial tcp: lookup docker-images-prod.6aa30f8b08e16409b46e0173d6de2f56.r2.cloudflarestorage.com on 10.176.250.159:53: server misbehaving

i added dns on daemon.json and also edited resolv.config still not working

Expected behavior

docker pull or docker run should have pull the image from internet but ip isn't solving and it's not able to communicate outside my local env.
