Get status of an ongoing docker image pull
docker, pull, status
Solution
This wasn't available at the time the question was asked (2015)
Now, if you run the same `docker pull` in two windows you see the same status, i.e. which layers are being downloaded, how far it got, etc.
If you kill just one of those two `docker pull` commands, the other one carries on.
If you kill the last client that requested a `pull`, the `pull` operation terminates.
[original answer follows...]
This is a proposed feature of Docker. See ongoing discussion at https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/6928:
My proposal is as follows.
- `docker pull --list` to list all the current running docker pulls
- `docker pull --resume` to resume a given pull
- `docker pull --rm` to remove a given pull
Problem
How to get status of a running docker pull process? I tried pulling busybox with `sudo docker pull busybox` . But no status is being displayed. On issuing another pull request after a ctrl+c it says that image is already being pulled by another client.Also I tried cancelling the ongoing pull and I couldnt here is a bug report regarding the issue. ``` $sudo docker pull busybox Repository busybox already being pulled by another client. Waiting. ``` How can I display the progress of an ongoing docker pull?
