Need to do "pass init" repeatedly in order to make authorization work

[svdHero]

Hi there,

after having installed Docker Credential Helpers on my Ubuntu machine, I did the following steps

# Configure password manager:
sudo apt-get -y install pass
gpg --generate-key
pass init harbor-user

# Setup container registry login:
tee .docker/config.json > /dev/null <<EOT
{
  "credHelpers": {
    "harbor.mycompany.com": "pass"
  }
}
EOT

docker login --username=harbor-user harbor.mycompany.com

The login succeeded and I could download protected images from my local harbor-registry just fine.

However, every now and then when I do a

docker pull harbor.mycompany.com/project/foo

I get the error message

Error response from daemon: unauthorized: unauthorized to access repository: project/foo, action: pull: unauthorized to access repository: project/foo, action: pull

Same thing for a docker-compose up, where I would get a

Pulling foo (harbor.mycompany.com/project/foo:1.0.1.40141)...

[64079] Failed to execute script docker-compose

The errors will NOT go away when I log in again. The only way to solve the problem is to do a

pass init harbor-user

again.

What's wrong here? I would be grateful for any advice.

My docker version: 20.10.12, build e91ed57
My docker compose version: 1.29.2, build 5becea4c
My docker credentials helpers version: v0.6.4
OS: Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS

Hello @svdHero
I encounter the same problem. Did you find any solution ?

Edit:
On my side, I have to do all the step again from gpg --generate-key (I tried with gpg2 but same problem each time)

[dmitrii-kalashnikov]

first, install the list of libs below:
wget libsecret gpg pass gpg-agent

 - wget https://github.com/docker/docker-credential-helpers/releases/download/v0.6.3/docker-credential-pass-v0.6.3- 
   amd64.tar.gz
- tar xvzf docker-credential-pass-v0.6.3-amd64.tar.gz
- chmod a+x docker-credential-pass
- mv docker-credential-pass /usr/local/bin/
- docker-credential-pass list
- mkdir ~/.docker

- gpg2 --list-secret-keys
- GPGPUBKEY=$(cat gpgpub.txt)
- pass init $GPGPUBKEY
- touch ~/.docker/config.json

  echo $'{\n"credsStore": "pass"\n}' >> ~/.docker/config.json
