curl: (6) getaddrinfo() thread failed to start

[haslersn]

On my system I currently cannot use the nixpkgs/curl container:

$ docker run nixpkgs/curl curl https://nixos.org
curl: (6) getaddrinfo() thread failed to start

Can you reproduce this, too, or do you need more details?

Same problem here; using Docker on NixOS 21.11.

Currently the latest and nixos-21.11 tags work. I didn't test other tags.

Originally, when the issue occured, I implicitly used the latest tag, which seems to track master. Maybe I should have used the stable nixos-21.11 tag instead.

Does Docker Hub have a history for a certain tag, so we can check whether this was a problem on the stable nixos-21.11 tag, too?

Generally speaking, maybe it would be a good idea to have a tag that always tracks the current stable NixOS release.

Ah, I had the same issue with nixery.dev and assumed it was the same but it's actually different. This works now.
