Body

Hello,

Following steps in https://docs.github.com/en/packages/working-with-a-github-packages-registry/working-with-the-container-registry

I created a new Personal Access Token with scopes:

• read:packages
• read:packages
• delete:packages

Then:

echo $CR_PAT | docker login ghcr.io -u USERNAME --password-stdin

All good so far, but then:

sudo docker run hello-world
sudo docker tag hello-world ghcr.io/c-scale-community/hello-world
sudo docker push ghcr.io/c-scale-community/hello-world

I get

Using default tag: latest
The push refers to repository [ghcr.io/c-scale-community/hello-world]
e07ee1baac5f: Preparing 
unauthorized: unauthenticated: User cannot be authenticated with the token provided.

I must be missing something basic, but I don't see what.

Could you please help?

Many thanks,
Sebastian

I found the issue:

echo $CR_PAT | docker login ghcr.io -u USERNAME --password-stdin

in https://docs.github.com/en/packages/working-with-a-github-packages-registry/working-with-the-container-registry

Should be:

echo $CR_PAT | sudo docker login ghcr.io -u USERNAME --password-stdin

Note sudo in the latter command.

With the first command, ${HOME}/.docker/config.json is populated but not picked up by sudo docker push ghcr.io/c-scale-community/hello-world

With the second command /root/.docker/config.json is populated and correctly picked up by sudo docker push ghcr.io/c-scale-community/hello-world
