FATA[0000] Error while fetching repositories! (err: unauthorized: authentication required)

It this a comment, a suggestion, or just an observation?

[christian-sahlmann]

Sorry for the scarce information. I was in a hurry freeing up the disk space ;)

As this project is using the official libraries, I was expecting that it handles authentication the same way as a docker pull (using the information from .docker/config.json).

So if it should theoretically work as currently implemented, this is a bug report. If it's simply not implemented yet, this is a feature request. :)

Anyways, in the meantime i already solved my issue by accessing the registry directly with my own custom script via the API, and cleaning the orphaned blobs afterwards with registry garbage-collect. So you can also see this information just as a comment and close the issue.

Got it! Maybe I should enhance the documentation. But the short answer is: no it doesn't read from config.json. You should just change your URL to contain HTTP basic auth credentials. But this would be a really nice feature 👍

Would you be able to test the new feature branch (not uploaded yet) that enables basic auth? If yes, I'll upload the branch. Thanks.

Hi! I am running into this issue as well, can you upload the branch so i can test it?

[yan-foto]

@gerritjanf great! I only have implemented the basic auth and not the token based. Please give me some time, as I am fairly busy ATM.

[gerritjanf]

@yan-foto Okay. Basic auth is fine with me

[yan-foto]

Here is the branch: https://github.com/fraunhoferfokus/deckschrubber/tree/feature/basic-auth

Please note that it has been a while since I tested the code and it might be buggy.

I really appreciate your commitment! 👍

@yan-foto The -username and -password options seem to be missing from the code in the branch you refference.

[yan-foto]

@gerritjanf sorry for wasting your time! The commit was missing :( I pushed again just now.

Hi @yan-foto, Just tried again and now i have the basic auth parameters. However it seems that it doesn't work for me. I am tying to use your tool against the registry included in GitLab omnibus and it is complaining about using a token. As this is not yet implemented i seems that your tool is not usable for me right now.
