Question

Unable to push to Container Registry

Hi, I am new here to the community and DigitalOcean. Recently I have been trying out the container registry just to see how it works. But I seem to be having problem publishing to it even after following the steps from digitalocean.

  1. I have created a API token with read/write permission.
  2. I have logged in to my docker CLI using docker login registry.digitalocean.com and put the API key for username and password.
  3. I have tagged my container naming it “registry.digitalocean.com/twn-myapp/my-app:v1.0
  4. My computer firewall is disabled

However, when I push to the registry, I get dial tcp 0.0.0.0:443: connect: connection refused.

I don’t have this issue when I use Amazon’s ECR. Any idas whats going one? Here is the command I issued.

sheenlim08@lpt-linuxmint01:~/Learning/developing-with-docker/app$ docker push registry.digitalocean.com/twn-myapp/my-app:v1.0
The push refers to repository [registry.digitalocean.com/twn-myapp/my-app]

and below are the logs it generated.

For those who will use this as reference, the issue end up being my laptop’s /etc/hosts file.

I removed the line for 0.0.0.0 tracking.digitalocean.com and the push to DCR was successful.

Hey @sheenismhaellim,

I’ll first recommend checking the following Docs Page:

https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/container-registry/how-to/use-registry-docker-kubernetes/ and also

https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/container-registry/how-to/set-up-ci-cd/

and most importantly the ## Authenticate Using a Docker Configuration File part.

It does seem like a connection issue as well. Can you try opening the said port? I know you said your Firewall is disabled but it does seem like an issue with that
