Container Registry Authentication Failed

Posted on January 31, 2021

I’m using the following command in my GitLab pipeline but it always returns that it cannot authenticate. I tried it on my local CLI but still fails. I’m using the following command. docker login -u <Access Token Name> -p <Token Value> registry.digitalocean.com

I generated a new access token to see if it works but still nothing.

Any suggestions?

Hi there,

Do you get an error during the docker login command or do you get the error when you try to push/pull the images?

Usually, once you’ve authenticated, when pushing or pulling images, you need to specify the repository as well:

docker tag <my-image> registry.digitalocean.com/<my-registry>/<my-image>
docker push registry.digitalocean.com/<my-registry>/<my-image>
