STEPS TO REPRODUCE

- name: Run docker pipeline
  hosts: "{{ target }}"
  vars:
    registry_url: "{{ ecr_registry_url }}"
  tasks:
    - name: Get ansible user data
      ansible.builtin.user:

      register: user_details
    
    - name: Docker login to AWS ECR
      community.docker.docker_login:
        state: present
        username: "AWS" # change this depending on private repository
        password: "{{ ecr_login_password }}"

        state: "present"

EXPECTED RESULTS

After logging in, successfully being able to pull my images in private repository.

ACTUAL RESULTS

Failure to authenticate

The docker_compose_v2(_pull) module doesn't do anything else than running docker compose. If that isn't able to pull from the registry, then it's a problem with your docker setup or the way you log in to the registry.

You're using the docker_login module to authenticate. That module verifies that the credentials are correct by using the /auth endpoint of the Docker daemon, and stores the credentials in the credential store (which that is depends on your Docker config file).

Now docker_compose_v2(_pull) can only use the credentials if it has access to the same credential store that docker_login stored them in. You are running Docker CLI from a Snap. My guess is that your Docker CLI setup does not use the same credentials store than docker_login (which uses code from Docker SDK for Python for accessing the credentials store).

[milongo]

Thank you for the answer!
I'm not modifying the CLI setup as far as I know. How do I get the docker CLI setup to use the same credentials store than docker_login?

[felixfontein]

Usually they do use the same context, unless you changed something. Are you maybe using Docker contexts? (I.e. does docker context ls show something else than default?)

[milongo]

No...

docker context ls
NAME        DESCRIPTION                               DOCKER ENDPOINT               ERROR
default *   Current DOCKER_HOST based configuration   unix:///var/run/docker.sock

[felixfontein]

In that case, no idea. I cannot replicate this with a regular registry.

[milongo]

Thanks for the help. Any idea what I can try to progress?
are you able to authenticate to a private registry the same way I am doing it?

[felixfontein]

If you run docker login with ansible.builtin.command, does a subsequent community.docker.docker_compose_v2 then work?

are you able to authenticate to a private registry the same way I am doing it?

Yes, it works for me.

BTW, I noticed that in the error message you posted:

there is a backslash \ (%5C in the quoted URL) at the end of the URL, which looks like to be part of the tag. Could it be that you have a problem somewhere else, like a backslash showing up in the image's tag that shouldn't be there?
