Does anyone have the docker-registry working with authentication? I've tried and it works fine without auth (like my old setup with my custom registry solution), but as soon as I enable user management, the images can't be pushed to the target-cloudron. Recap of what I was doing: installed docker and Cloudron cli on a new linux machine installed the docker-registry app on Cloudron X ( docker.example.com ), added a user ("docker") on X and set its credentials in Cloudron Y settings git cloned an app of mine on the linux machine cloudron login (on Cloudron Y) and docker login docker.example.com docker build -t docker.example.com/my-app . docker push docker.example.com/my-app cloudron install --image docker.example.com/my-app -l myapp Up until the last step everything works fine, but the containers can't get pushed/downloaded on Cloudron Y, this is what happens: CLI response: App installation error: Installation failed: Unable to pull image docker.example/my-app. Please check the network or if the image needs authentication. statusCode: 500 App log: Feb 06 22:35:08 box:docker downloadImage docker.example.com/my-app Feb 06 22:35:08 box:docker Downloading image docker.example.com/my-app. attempt: 1 Feb 06 22:35:08 box:docker pullImage:

No idea what to make of the docker logs with the character thing. Cheers, M

@msbt Found the problem after much debugging. It seems there is some special code that changes the UA string depending on the client. So, the proxyAuth addon does not allow dockerode to authenticate properly. https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/box/-/commit/1d0ad3cb47f85b05eabb31853c8c3a585d06c2e9 is the fix. It's really just changing docker-client to docker . If you apply the patch, restart the box code and also go to Docker registry app -> Location -> Save to regenerate the nginx config.

@nottheend have created a new topic since it is most likely not this bug:
