Gitlab-runner: pull access denied for, repository does not exist or may require 'docker login': denied: requested access to the resource is denied

Question

I am new to gitlab-runner and docker. I am trying to automate my project using CI/CD pipelines. I am referring to this article. (But I have modified Dockerfile and setup.sh a bit as the post is too old hence some of the things were not working or were deprecated).

And I am getting this error in my gitlab pipeline:

Running with gitlab-runner 15.4.0 (43b2dc3d)

I have used this command to make docker image:

docker build -t generic-package-build-runner:v1 .

I used this command to register the gitlab-runner

gitlab-runner register \
--non-interactive \
--url "SOMEURL" \
--registration-token "SOMETOKEN" \
--description "Generic debian wheezy package build runner" \
--executor "docker" \
--docker-image "generic-package-build-runner:v1"

where I have replaced SOMEURL and SOMETOKEN with actual placeholders.

My docker files is:

FROM dockette/wheezy
ADD  setup.sh /opt/  
RUN  /bin/bash /opt/setup.sh

SO i reosolved it by pushing my image on docker hub after creating an account there and then it worked fine.
