When I try to pull an image from my local mirror, it works :
$ docker login -u docker -p mypassword nexus3.pleiade.mycomp.fr:5000
$ docker pull nexus3.pleiade.mycomp.fr:5000/hello-world
Using default tag: latest
latest: Pulling from **hello-world**
78445dd45222: Pull complete
Digest: sha256:c5515758d4c5e1e838e9cd307f6c6a0d620b5e07e6f927b07d05f6d12a1ac8d7
Status: Downloaded newer image for **nexus3.pleiade.mycomp.fr:5000/hello-world:latest**
But then, when I want to use this registry as mirror, it is just ignored, images are always pulled from web Docker hub, not from my local mirror :
$ ps -ef | grep docker
/usr/bin/dockerd -H fd:// --storage-driver=overlay2 --registry-mirror=https://nexus3.pleiade.mycomp.fr:5000
$ docker info
Registry Mirrors:
https://nexus3.pleiade.mycomp.fr:5000/
$ docker rmi nexus3.pleiade.mycomp.fr:5000/hello-world
_
$ docker pull hello-world
Using default tag: latest
latest: Pulling from **library/hello-world**

Status: Downloaded newer image for **hello-world:latest**
I know for sure it doesn't use my mirror, because when I unset the proxy settings, it cannot reach hello-world image.
Is it a Docker bug, or am I missing something ?

UPDATE :
Doing "journalctl -xe", I can see some useful information :
level=error msg="Attempting next endpoint for pull after error: Get https://nexus3.pleiade.mycomp.fr:5000/v2/library/hello-world/manifests/latest: no basic auth credentials"
It looks related to : https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/20097, but the workaround is not working : when I replace --registry-mirror=https://nexus3.pleiade.mycomp.fr:5000 by --registry-mirror=https://docker:password@nexus3.pleiade.mycomp.fr:5000
I get exactly the same error.
If it matters, the nexus is using a self signed certificate which has been copied to /etc/docker/certs.d/nexus3.pleiade.mycomp.fr:5000/ca.crt and this allowed to login via "docker login".
