gcloud docker push 403 Forbidden

Question

I am trying to push a docker image to eu.gcr.io and I am getting 403 Forbidden

gcloud docker push  eu.gcr.io/<projectname>/<image>:latest                                                                  
The push refers to a repository [eu.gcr.io/<projectname>/<image>] (len: 1)

Post https://eu.gcr.io/v2/w<projectname>/<image>/blobs/uploads/: token auth attempt for registry: https://eu.gcr.io/v2/token?account=_token&scope=repository%3A<projectname>%2F<image>3Apush%2Cpull&service=eu.gcr.io request failed with status: 403 Forbidden

I have checked

1. curl https://eu.gcr.io/v1/_ping => works
2. gcloud config list => project id is setup
3. Storage api is enabled in console
4. if I use the project name in the url I get 403 Forbidden
5. if I use the project id in the url I get "Repository does not exist"
6. gcloud auth list => shows the owner as active
7. gcloud components update => All components are up to date.

Answer 1

I had faced the same issue, to resolve it in order I done.

1. Rename the images as told
2. Add the user to docker group (important for the docker login)
3. Use docker login token https://cloud.google.com/container-registry/docs/auth

docker login -e [email protected] -u _token -p "$(gcloud auth print-access-token)" https://gcr.io 

(If using sudo docker, the token will be stored with the root account.)

Then use docker push gcr.io/projetc_id/imagename according to How to push a docker image to a private repository
