Thank you for your update, Andrew.
The key detail now is that curl http://localhost:5002/v2/ returns {}, but curl http://172.16.16.57:5002/v2/ does not—this shows the registry is running, but only bound to localhost (127.0.0.1), not all interfaces (0.0.0.0). Therefore, it is not reachable using the machine’s IP, which is required by Torizon IDE and your target device.
To address this, please follow these steps:
- Stop the Existing Registry
First, stop and remove the currently running registry container. You can find its container ID or name using:
docker ps | grep 5002
Then stop and remove it:
docker stop <container-id-or-name>
docker rm <container-id-or-name>
- Launch the Registry Bound to All Interfaces
Now, start a new registry container with explicit binding to 0.0.0.0:
docker run -d -p 5002:5002 --restart always --name registry -e REGISTRY_HTTP_ADDR=0.0.0.0:5002 registry:2
This ensures the registry is accessible from both localhost and your machine’s IP address.
- Verify Accessibility
Check that it’s running with:
docker ps | grep 5002
And check from both your development machine and from your IMX8MP:
curl http://localhost:5002/v2/
curl http://172.16.16.57:5002/v2/
Each should return {}.
- Update Docker Daemon (on the Target)
On your IMX8MP, make sure /etc/docker/daemon.json includes (update IP as needed):
{
"insecure-registries" : ["172.16.16.57:5002"]
}
See: Store and Share Container Images | Toradex Developer Center
Then, restart the Docker service:
sudo systemctl restart docker
- Restart VS Code and Torizon Extension
Close and reopen VS Code on your development PC, and re-initiate the deployment/debug workflow.
After these steps, both your PC and IMX8MP should be able to reach the registry via http://172.16.16.57:5002/v2/, resolving the deployment issue.
