I am trying to pull a docker container from our private GCP container registry on a regular VM instance (i.e. ubuntu-1904) running on Google Cloud, but I am getting the following error:
user#test ~ $ sudo docker pull example.io/docker-dev/name:v01
Error response from daemon: unauthorized: You don't have the needed permissions to perform this operation, and you may have invalid credentials. To authenticate your request, follow the steps in: https://cloud.google.com/container-registry/docs/advanced-authentication
I followed those instructions, i.e., run the gcloud auth configure-docker command, which outputs a success message.
However, when running the docker pull command again, I get the exact same error.
A couple of extra tests that might help to provide feedback:
If I pull from a different registry, it works (for example, docker run hello-world pulls and runs the hello-world image)
I tested the same command (docker pull example.io/docker-dev/name:v01) on my local computer (Mac) instead of the vm instance and works perfectly.
I have also created vm instances and enable the option "Deploy a container image to this VM instance", providing the container address (example.io/docker-dev/name:v01), and also works. However, I don't want to use this option because it selects automatically a "Container-Optimized" boot disk, which I prefer not to use due to the limitations
Question:
Why I cannot pull docker images from my private container registry on a Ubuntu o Debian VM, even though docker seems to work very well pulling images from other repositories (docker hub)?
I did this yesterday. Just run gcloud auth configure-docker then run
VERSION=2.0.0
OS=linux # or "darwin" for OSX, "windows" for Windows.
ARCH=amd64 # or "386" for 32-bit OSs, "arm64" for ARM 64.
After that you can download the docker-credential-gcr
wget "https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/docker-credential-gcr/releases/download/v${VERSION}/docker-credential-gcr_${OS}_${ARCH}-${VERSION}.tar.gz"
Then run
tar cvzf --to-stdout ./docker-credential-gcr_linux_amd64-2.0.0.tar.gz /usr/bin/docker-credential-gcloud && sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/docker-credential-gcloud
And finally run
gcloud auth print-access-token | docker login -u oauth2accesstoken --password-stdin https://gcr.io
Now you will be able to pull you image :)
For me, on a container-os optimized instance, it helped to just run:
docker-credential-gcr configure-docker
https://cloud.google.com/container-optimized-os/docs/how-to/run-container-instance#starting_a_docker_container_via_cloud-config
Note the default policy for compute instances:
VM instances, including those in Google Kubernetes Engine clusters,
must have the correct storage access scopes configured to push or pull
images. By default, VMs can pull images when Container Registry is in
the same project.
If you run gcloud auth configure-docker, the auth information is saved under your personal directory.
When you then run sudo docker pull example.io/docker-dev/name:v01, it looks for auth info under root directory and doesn't find anything there.
You should run both with or without sudo.
I have a repo in docker hub named shaktidocker and it is public. I have a image in the repo.
When i am trying to run that image from my local docker development host using next command:
docker run -P -d shaktidocker/docker-spring-boot-demo
It gives me below error:
e75c891fa5403b0bb6ed1aa3b5e6a6760d4707219ecaff22727632cca741fa25
/usr/bin/docker-current: Error response from daemon: linux spec user:
unable to find user shaktidocker: no matching entries in passwd file.
When I am trying t run a different image from different public repo, it works perfectly fine.
Please, advise
The Dockerfile you used most likely contains the line:
USER shaktidocker
This is defining the Linux user inside the container to run commands, not your user ID on docker hub. Most likely you want to delete this line from your Dockerfile, rebuild, push, and pull your image, before trying to run it again.
It looks like for some reason when you want to start your container by default the name of repository is used as default username to run the container. This username does not exist in the underlying system hence container cannot start.
You can try to define a user with which you will start the image:
docker run -P -d --user nobody shaktidocker/docker-spring-boot-demo
This way you should be able to start your container.
I am using Laravel 4.2 with docker. I setup it on local. It worked without any problem but when I am trying to setup online using same procedure then I am getting error:
pull access denied for <projectname>/php, repository does not exist or may require 'docker login'
is it something relevant to create repository here https://cloud.docker.com/ or need to docker login in command?
After days of study I am still not able to figure out what could be the fix in this case and what are the right steps?
I have the complete code. I can paste here if need to check certain parts.
Please note that the error message from Docker is misleading.
$ docker build deploy/.
Sending build context to Docker daemon 5.632kB
Step 1/16 : FROM rhel7:latest
pull access denied for rhel7, repository does not exist or may require 'docker login'
It says that it may require 'docker login'.
I struggled with this. I realized the image does not exist at https://hub.docker.com any more.
Just make sure to write the docker name correctly!
In my case, I wrote (notice the extra 'u'):
FROM ubunutu:16.04
The correct docker name is:
FROM ubuntu:16.04
The message usually comes when you put the wrong image name. Please check your image if it exists on the Docker repository with the correct tag.
It helped me.
docker run -d -p 80:80 --name ngnix ngnix:latest
Unable to find image 'ngnix:latest' locally
docker: Error response from daemon: pull access denied for ngnix, repository does not exist or may require 'docker login': denied: requested access to the resource is denied.
See 'docker run --help'.
$ docker run -d -p 80:80 --name nginx nginx:latest
Unable to find image 'nginx:latest' locally
latest: Pulling from library/nginx
I had the same issue. In my case it was a private registry. So I had to create a secret as shown here
and then we have to add the image pull secret to the deployment.yaml file as shown below.
pods/private-reg-pod.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
name: private-reg
spec:
containers:
- name: private-reg-container
image: <your-private-image>
imagePullSecrets:
- name: regcred
November 2020 and later
If this error is new, and pulling from Docker Hub worked in the past, note Docker Hub now introduced rate limiting in Nov 2020
You will frequently see messages like:
Warning: No authentication provided, using CircleCI credentials for pulls from Docker Hub.
From Circle CI and other similar tools that use Docker Hub. Or:
Error response from daemon: pull access denied for cimg/mongo, repository does not exist or may require 'docker login': denied: requested access to the resource is denied
You'll need to specify the credentials used to fetch the image:
For CircleCI users:
- image: circleci/mongo:4.4.2
# Needed to pull down Mongo images from Docker hub
# Get from https://hub.docker.com/
# Set up at https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/org/sapp
auth:
username: $DOCKERHUB_USERNAME
password: $DOCKERHUB_PASSWORD
I had the same issue
pull access denied for microsoft/mmsql-server-linux, repository does not exist or may require 'docker login': denied: requested access to the resource is denied
Turns out the DockerHub was moved to a different name
So I would suggest you re check-in docker hub
I solved this by inserting a language at the front of the docker image
FROM python:3.7-alpine
I had the same error message but for a totally different reason.
Being new to docker, I issued
docker run -it <crypticalId>
where <crypticalId> was the id of my newly created container.
But, the run command wants the id of an image, not a container.
To start a container, docker wants
docker start -i <crypticalId>
In my case I was using a custom image and docker baked into Minikube on my local machine.
I had specified the pull policy incorrectly:-
imagePullPolicy: Always
But it should have been:-
imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
Because the custom image was only present locally after I'd explicitly built it in the minikube docker environment.
I had this because I inadvertantly remove the AS tag from my first image:
ex:
FROM mcr.microsoft.com/windows/servercore:1607-KB4546850-amd64
...
.. etc ...
...
FROM mcr.microsoft.com/windows/servercore:1607-KB4546850-amd64
COPY --from=installer ["/dotnet", "/Program Files/dotnet"]
... etc ...
should have been:
FROM mcr.microsoft.com/windows/servercore:1607-KB4546850-amd64 AS installer
...
.. etc ...
...
FROM mcr.microsoft.com/windows/servercore:1607-KB4546850-amd64
COPY --from=installer ["/dotnet", "/Program Files/dotnet"]
... etc ...
I had the same issue when working with docker-composer. In my case it was an Amazon AWS ECR private registry. It seems to be a bug in docker-compose
https://github.com/docker/compose/issues/1622#issuecomment-162988389
After adding the full path "myrepo/myimage" to docker compose yaml
image: xxxxxxxxx.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/myrepo:myimage
it was all fine.
This error message might possibly indicate something else.
In my case I defined another Docker-Image elsewhere from which the current Docker inherited its settings (docker-compos.yml):
FROM my_own_image:latest
The error message I got:
qohelet$ docker-compose up
Building web
Step 1/22 : FROM my_own_image:latest
ERROR: Service 'web' failed to build: pull access denied for my_own_image, repository does not exist or may require 'docker login'
Due to a reinstall the previous Docker were gone and I couldn't build my docker using docker-compose up with this command:
sudo docker build -t my_own_image:latest -f MyOwnImage.Dockerfile .
In your specific case you might have defined your own php-docker.
If the repository is private you have to assign permissions to download it. You have two options, with the docker login command, or put in ~/.docker/docker.config the file generated once you login.
if you have over two stage in the docker build process read this solution:
this error message is completely misleading.
if you have a two-stage (context) dockerfile and want to copy some data from the first to the second stage, you must label the first context (ex: build) and access it by that label
#stage(1)
from <image> as build
.
.
#stage(2)
From <image>
copy --from=build /sourceDir /distinationDir
Docker might have lost the authentication data. So you'll have to reauthenticate with your registry provider. With AWS for example:
aws ecr get-login --region us-west-2 --no-include-email
And then copy and paste that resulting "docker login..." to authenticated docker.
Source: Amazon ECR Registeries
If you're downloading from somewhere else than your own registry or docker-hub, you might have to do a separate agreement of terms on their site, like the case with Oracle's docker registry. It allows you to do docker login fine, but pulling the container won't still work until you go to their site and agree on their terms.
Make sure the image exists in docker hub. To me, I was trying to pull MongoDB using the command docker run mongodb which is incorrect. In the docker hub, the image name is mongo.
If you don't have an image with that name locally, docker will try to pull it from docker hub, but there's no such image on docker hub.
Or simply try "docker login".
If you are using multiple Dockerfiles you should not forget to run build for all of it. That was my case.
I had to run docker pull first, then running docker-compose up again and then it worked.
docker pull index.docker.io/youruser/yourrepo:latest
Try this in your docker-compose.yml file
image: php:rc-zts-alpine
When I run the command multiple times "docker pull scrapinghub/splash" in Power shell then it solve the issue.
if it was caused with AWS EC2 and ECR, due to name issue(happens with beginners!)
Error response from daemon: pull access denied for my-app, repository does not exist or may require 'docker login': denied: requested access to the resource is denied
when using docker pull use Image URI of the image, available in ECR-row itself as Copy URI
docker pull Image_URI
I have seen this message and thought something was wrong about my Docker authentication. However, I've realized that Docker only allows 1 private repository per free plan. So it is quite possible that you are trying to pull your private repository and see this error because have not upgraded your plan.
Got the same problem but nothing worked. And then I understood I need run .sh (.ps1) script first before doing docker-compose.
So I have the following files:
docker-compose.yml
docker-build.sh
docker-build.ps1
Dockerfile
And I had to first run docker-build.sh on Unix (Mac) machine or docker-build.ps1 on Windows:
sh docker-build.sh
It will build an image in my case.
And only then after an image has been built I can run:
docker-compose up --build
For references. Here is my docker-compose file:
version: '3.8'
services:
api-service:
image: x86_64/prediction-service:0.8.1
container_name: api-service
expose:
- 8060
ports:
- "8060:80"
And here is docker-build.sh:
VERSION="0.8.1"
ARCH="x86_64"
APP="prediction-service"
DIR="$( cd "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" >/dev/null 2>&1 && pwd )"
docker build -f $DIR/Dockerfile -t $ARCH/$APP:$VERSION .
I had misspelled nginx to nignx in Dockerfile
In my case the solution was to re-create docker-file through visual studio and all worked perfeclty.
I heard the same issue.
I solved by login
docker login -u your_user_name
then I was prompt to enter docker hub password
The rest command work perfect after login successfull
Someone might come across the same error for different reasons than what is already presented, so let me share:
I got the same error when using docker multistage builds (Multiple: FROM <> as <>).
And I forgot to remove one (COPY --from=<> <>)
After removing that COPY then it worked fine.
Exceeded Docker Hub's Limit on Free Repos:
Despite first executing:
docker login -u <dockerhub uname>
and "Login Succeeded" being returned, I received the error in this question.
In the webgui in Settings > Visibility Settings I remarked:
Using 2 of 1 private repositories.
Which told me that I had exceeded the limit on Docker Hub's free account limits. However, removing a previous image didn't clear the error...
The Fix:
Indeed, the error message in my case was a red herring- it's nothing related to authentication issues.
Deleting just the images exceeding the allowed limit did NOT clear the error however!
To get past the error you need to delete ALL the images in your FREE Docker Hub account, then run a new build pushing the image to your account.
Your pull command will now succeed.
