Could not find "AddResource" method when pulling docker images

Question

I am pulling a docker image from docker hub. But it accounts a error. It says that "AddResource" method could not be found:

docker: error adding content digest to lease: sha256:31168c113862cce4cef6b16b20cdef1b126eb755492a6030ca68a9020b7eb657: unknown method AddResource: not implemented.

I have tried some times, and tried to pull different images. The error is the same. The docker version is:

For me it turned out that due to a bug in containerd, I hadn't updated it for a while. So updating the containerd using

sudo pacman -Sy containerd

and restarting both services

sudo systemctl restart containerd.service
sudo systemctl restart docker

fixed the issue. Now I have:

I have seen this error when there is a mismatch between the docker-client version and the docker-server version. In your case, they seem to be the same, but, I would recommend re-installing them, if you're on ubuntu perform:

sudo apt-get remove docker-ce
sudo apt-get remove docker-ce-cli


sudo apt-get install docker-ce-cli=5:20.10.1~3-0~ubuntu-$(lsb_release -cs) --assume-yes 
sudo apt-get install docker-ce=5:20.10.1~3-0~ubuntu-$(lsb_release -cs) --assume-yes

Note: I have a newer containerD:

I meet the same problem when pulling an image on an arm machine and pull the image successfully after reinstalling the docker using the solution upstairs.

sudo systemctl stop docker
sudo dpkg -r docker.io
sudo dpkg -i (containerd, docker-ce-cli, docker-ce that have the same version)

For Ubuntu users: (same as @hhadi answer)

sudo apt install containerd

This solved the issue for me :)
