Azure Container issue pulling images on restart

Question

In the last 24 hours I have started getting the following error message and cannot restart my containers because of this error. There is no other information to go on and this is happening in more that on Azure Account and multiple subscriptions. Nothing has changed it just started reporting this error on restart.

Failed to restart the container group 'xxxx-prod001-app'. Error: An error response is received from the docker registry 'index.docker.io'. Please retry later.

I found the issue and the fix. I leverage caddy sidecar image. The container was created with

image: caddy:latest

This pulls from the docker registry not my azure container registry. With the changes made by docker on 6/30/2024, the pull from the docker registry was failing.

The solution was to pull caddy from docker registry and then stage and push the image to my azure container registry and update the container definition to pull from my azure container registry instead of docker. Basically changing the reference

image: [myacr].azurecr.io/caddy:latest

That solved it.
