Why can't I log in to Container Registry?

You try to log in to IBM Cloud® Container Registry, but the log in command fails.

The ibmcloud cr login command fails.

The following alternatives are possible causes:

  • Scenario A. The container-registry CLI plug-in is out of date and needs updating.
  • Scenario B. Docker is not installed on your local computer, or is not running.
  • Scenario C. Your IBM Cloud login credentials expired.

You can fix this problem in the following ways:

  • Scenario A. Upgrade to the most recent version of the container-registry CLI plug-in, see Updating the container-registry CLI plug-in.
  • Scenario B. Ensure that Docker is installed on your computer. If it is already installed, restart the Docker daemon.
  • Scenario C. Rerun the ibmcloud login command to refresh your IBM Cloud login credentials.
