Question

While using with the GitHub action I am getting Error response from daemon: Get "https://ghcr.io/v2/": denied: denied

I used the login command echo $CR_PAT | docker login ghcr.io -u $ghcr_user -password-stdin

Answer 1

I believe the command you want should be:

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

That adds quoting to the variables and a second dash to the long arg. It also assumes those variables are defined.

That said, I tend to use the following in GitHub Actions for doing the login:

    - name: Login to GHCR 
      uses: docker/login-action@v1  
      with: 
        registry: ghcr.io 
        username: ${{ secrets.GHCR_USERNAME }} 
        password: ${{ secrets.GHCR_TOKEN }}

You may try logout and then login. Or even removing the docker credentials (at ~/.docker/config.json in Linux) and then trying to login again.

This resolved the issue for me and many others

I forgot to run docker login as sudo.

Answer 4

What worked for me was this

docker login --username MY_GITHUB_USERNAME --password-stdin
[paste value of $CR_PAT here]

Answer 5

If you have two-factor authentication enabled in GitHub settings, make sure to use personal access token instead of a password.

Answer 6

Instead of using echo $CR_PAT | docker login ghcr.io -u $ghcr_user --password-stdin use

docker login ghcr.io -u $ghcr_user -p $CR_PAT
