Kitematic is stuck at connecting to Docker hub when attempting to download image

Question

After installing Docker Desktop I tried creating a basic container of "hello-world-nginx". I saw container download is stuck, so I created a docker hub account and connected Kitematic to it.

This in turn showed me a spinning Load Indicator with the text: "Connecting to docker hub" that did not end.

Answer 1

I saw this post indicating its a bug.

In order to solve:

1. keep the container that is 'downloading' in the container list (do not remove)
2. Restart Kitematic.
