How to login to AWS ECR?

[paymog]

I use the following command to authenticate with AWS ECR

aws ecr get-login-password --region us-west-2 | docker login --username AWS --password-stdin 716091368358.dkr.ecr.us-west-2.amazonaws.com

What's the equivalent when using orbstack?

I found these docs and here's the content of that file

 ❯❯❯ cat ~/.docker/config.json
{
  "auths": {
    "301417190815.dkr.ecr.us-west-2.amazonaws.com": {},
    "716091368358.dkr.ecr.us-west-2.amazonaws.com": {}
  },
  "credsStore": "desktop",
  "currentContext": "orbstack"
}

However, it's not clear how to properly modify this file to work with orbstack.

The same command works fine with OrbStack. What's the error?

Changing it to "credsStore": "osxkeychain" may help.

[paymog]

huh you're right. it wasn't working before but i just tried again and it worked!

[kdrag0n]

Glad it works now. That's most likely because you started Docker Desktop after starting OrbStack last time, and it overwrote the credential store setting.

[paymog]

huh, now it's not working again

 ❯❯❯ aws ecr get-login-password --region us-west-2 | docker login --username AWS --password-stdin 716091368358.dkr.ecr.us-west-2.amazonaws.com
Error saving credentials: error storing credentials - err: exit status 1, out: `Post "http://ipc/registry/credstore-updated": dial unix backend.sock: connect: no such file or directory`

I have quit and relaunched orbstack between yesterday and today. I haven't used docker desktop at all in that time.

I checked the docker config again, and the credstore was desktop. Manually switching to osxkeychain fixed it. Is this something orbstack can do automatically on boot?

[kdrag0n]

OrbStack fixes it automatically on start, so if it was changed back to desktop, it means you've started Docker Desktop after OrbStack.
