How to authenticate in gitlab pipline?

[klawitterb]

Using pipeline variables to login to docker.io is working without problems for me. But I can't get the authentication to the cloudron registry to work.
I've set up the auth part as described in the documentation using tokens. Do I now need to acquire a token first before I can login?
Also tried changing the auth to htpasswd on the docker registry without success. It still wont let me in, rejecting the request with a 403.

@klawitterb :

• which documentation are you talking about ?
• have you tried logging in from your local machine ? Does that work ?

[klawitterb]

@mehdi I'm referring to the documentation on the cloudron docs: https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/docker-registry/

I'm not even seeing log entries when trying to connect. Shouldn't it at least tell me about the failed login?

[klawitterb]

Stupid me, just read the docs again that I only need to set this up for gitlab integration. Removed the auth config and was now able to successfully login using cloudron credentials.

Weird... it just keeps timing out for me when I try a docker push

Nevermind... got it working just fine.

@atrilahiji What did you do here? it seems this might be the source of the update issue which you mention in the other thread...

@girish oh I reinstalled making sure it used the apps user management. This was before my update issue

@girish The new update with the UI helped a lot. Reinstalled a version thats is standalone using proxyAuth and a version to integrate with GitLab. Works perfectly. I'll be doing some more extensive testing.

@atrilahiji Write up a post on it and we can get it into the docs I bet!

If I understand it correctly the gitlab integration makes gitlab the authority for docker registry submitting jwt tokens for authentication. To create these tokens you either make a access token deploy token or a personal token (especially if you are using 2fa) and one should be able to authenticate to the registry, correct?

I've tried all sorts of tokens and changing the docker-client in authproxy and nginxconfig without success.

Has anyone manged to get this working? ><

@caleno
I removed the auth token config from the docker registry and used the normal docker login cmd in my pipeline using my normal cloudron account name + an app password.

@klawitterb

I have token auth activated or at least configured and I can still log inn with Cloudron username and password + 2fa.

I'd like the token auth to work via Gitlab and maybe the case above points to a configuration issue.

I have to investigate further.

BTW. Maybe it is just working for the UI.
