Unable to push docker image to github package using github actions - docker

Hi I am trying to push docker images to github packages using workflow. Below is my workflow.
- name: Log in to the Container registry
uses: docker/login-action#f054a8b539a109f9f41c372932f1ae047eff08c9
with:
registry: ${{ env.REGISTRY }}
username: ${{ github.actor }}
password: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
This step passes and I am able to login. Below is my next step.
- name: Extract metadata (tags, labels) for Docker
id: meta
uses: docker/metadata-action#98669ae865ea3cffbcbaa878cf57c20bbf1c6c38
with:
images: ${{ env.REGISTRY }}/${{ env.IMAGE_NAME }}
- name: Build and push Docker image
uses: docker/build-push-action#ad44023a93711e3deb337508980b4b5e9bcdc5dc
with:
context: ./CharteringExecutionPlatform/
push: true
tags: ${{ steps.meta.outputs.tags }}
labels: ${{ steps.meta.outputs.labels }}
In this step I am successfully able to build docker image and tag it. Workflow fails when pushing docker image to github package. I am getting below error
ERROR: denied: requested access to the resource is denied Error:
buildx call failed with: ERROR: denied: requested access to the
resource is denied
I am not sure what I am missing here. Can someone help me? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Solved by setting the correct tags in the extract metedata step
docker:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
permissions:
contents: read
packages: write
strategy:
matrix:
dotnet-version: ['6.0.x' ]

Unable to pull private docker image from github container registry

I built and pushed a image from the dockerfile using github actions, here is the worflow file
name: Create and publish a Docker image
on:
push:
branches: ['temp']
env:
REGISTRY: ghcr.io
IMAGE_NAME: ${{ github.repository }}

with:
context: .
push: true
tags: ${{ steps.meta.outputs.tags }}
labels: ${{ steps.meta.outputs.labels }}
Now when I go to the package, I get link saying
"install from command line -> docker pull ghcr.io/<OWNER_NAME>/<IMAGE_NAME>:"
However on using this command to actually pull the image, I get an error message saying I am not authorized.
NOTE: I am able to pull the image if I make the package public, but not once it is private
A quick google search tells me I need to use PAT to authenticate, I did that but still get the same error. For example on following this (https://docs.github.com/en/packages/working-with-a-github-packages-registry/working-with-the-container-registry#authenticating-to-the-container-registry)
I get an error saying: Error response from daemon: Get "https://ghcr.io/v2/": denied: denied
I am not sure how to proceed now.

GitHub Actions - Scheduled Container Rebuild On Latest Release Tag only

I'm trying to setup scheduled container rebuilds on my latest release (git tag).
I'm already building containers on main branch and version tags, but i'd like to expand the version tags to be a scheduled rebuild to pickup base image security updates. I can't figure out how to do scheduled actions on only the latest tag.
Suggestions welcome. My example repository is github.com/ruckc/container-openldap. I reuse this same workflow frequently, and just trying to improve it to handle base image updates.

Github actions unexpectedly build multi-platform image, without setting up Qemu

I'm trying to troubleshoot a Github actions issue, and it looks like Github and/or Docker is doing a cross-platform build for me when they shouldn't.
Using buildx, but specifying only linux/amd64 platform for the builder.
Not setting up Qemu explicitly.
Asking for linux/arm64,linux/ppc64le platforms for the image.
... and it builds! How?
I even added docker buildx inspect command, and it prints what I expect, e.g. only Intel platforms are listed.
Here's my test repo: https://github.com/haimgel/test-docker-build
Here's my action file from there:

Github Docker pull error from github registry Error response from daemon: unauthorized

Can anyone explain what else I would need to authorize a pull from a private . I have followed the docs and still getting this error:
Error response from daemon: Head "https://ghcr.io/v2/my-image/manifests/latest": unauthorized
I have seen other developers on here having similar issues which I have tried their solutions but still not working. Based on the docs there are 2 ways to authenticate. The old and not recommend anymore according to docs is using a PAT personal access token.
The second way and recommend is using a secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN as shown here
I'm using the GITHUB_TOKEN setup as seen in my code below.
What am I missing here to be able to do a pull on the package after it has pushed to the registry ??

For anyone else who has this issue maybe this will help:
2 extra steps to the above post.
Delete the package that I had already created in github
Then run another build using a PAT that I created.
Github action updated code:
- name: Log into Container registry ${{ env.REGISTRY }}
uses: docker/login-action#v2
with:
registry: ${{ env.REGISTRY }}
username: ${{ github.actor }}
password: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_PAT }}
After doing a new build I had to login to docker using the PAT as the password.
docker login ghcr.io --username YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME

pull docker image from ghcr.io in github actions

I'm using the below workflow code (found in the github documentation) to build and publish a docker image to the Github Container Registry.
name: Create and publish a Docker image
on:
push:
branches: ['release']
pull_request:
branches: ['release']
env:
REGISTRY: ghcr.io
IMAGE_NAME: ${{ github.repository }}
jobs:
build-and-push-image:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
permissions:
contents: read
packages: write
steps:
- name: Checkout repository
uses: actions/checkout#v3
- name: Log in to the Container registry
uses: docker/login-action#f054a8b539a109f9f41c372932f1ae047eff08c9
with:
registry: ${{ env.REGISTRY }}
username: ${{ github.actor }}
password: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
- name: Extract metadata (tags, labels) for Docker
id: meta
uses: docker/metadata-action#98669ae865ea3cffbcbaa878cf57c20bbf1c6c38
with:
images: ${{ env.REGISTRY }}/${{ env.IMAGE_NAME }}
- name: Build and push Docker image
uses: docker/build-push-action#ad44023a93711e3deb337508980b4b5e9bcdc5dc
with:
context: .
push: true
tags: ${{ steps.meta.outputs.tags }}
labels: ${{ steps.meta.outputs.labels }}
This works and I now see a public docker image under "Packages" on the github repo. When I click on the image, I am directed to a github page with more information about the image (official docs here):
"Install from the command line:"
docker pull ghcr.io/OWNER/IMAGE_NAME:pr-75
And its Digest sha: sha256:04ea7757e34c4fae527bbe6fb56eb984f54543f2313775572f0817d696ecf48a
I want to add a new job to the same workflow, that pulls the image to a virtual machine using ssh.
deploy:
- name: Deploy to Digital Ocean droplet via SSH action
uses: appleboy/ssh-action#v0.1.4
with:
host: ${{ secrets.DO_HOST }}
username: root
key: ${{ secrets.DO_PRIVATE_SSHKEY }}
port: 22
script: |
docker pull ${{ env.REGISTRY }}/${{ env.IMAGE_NAME }}
This fails with:
err: invalid reference format: repository name must be lowercase (lowercasing it is not enough, read on)
Of course I cannot hard-code docker pull ghcr.io/OWNER/IMAGE_NAME:pr-75 or the Digest sha, because each new branch will increment in its PR number, so the pr-75 tag will change.
How can I deploy the image that was just published? Seems I can either use the tag value or the sha and how can I retrieve those values in real time?
There are two jobs in the above workflow:
"build-and-push-image"
"deploy"
The first one uses the docker/metadata-action to retrieve the tag name ghcr.io/OWNER/IMAGE_NAME:pr-75 which is used in the next step to name the image when docker/build-push-action is used.
I have simply used the docker/metadata-action again in the second job:
deploy:
needs: build-and-push-image
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Extract metadata (tags, labels) for Docker
id: meta
uses: docker/metadata-action#69f6fc9d46f2f8bf0d5491e4aabe0bb8c6a4678a
with:
images: ${{ env.REGISTRY }}/${{ env.IMAGE_NAME }}
- name: Deploy to Digital Ocean droplet via SSH action
uses: appleboy/ssh-action#v0.1.4
with:
host: ${{ secrets.DO_HOST }}
username: root
key: ${{ secrets.DO_PRIVATE_SSHKEY }}
port: 22
script: |
docker pull ${{ steps.meta.outputs.tags }}
