Getting Error authenticating every few runs

Drone Support
1

I need to retry a build 3 or 4 times before it doesn’t give this error:

+ /usr/local/bin/dockerd --data-root /var/lib/docker --host=unix:///var/run/docker.sock
2 time="2020-07-10T19:20:17Z" level=fatal msg="Error authenticating: exit status 1"

I’ve added all the required arguments to the yml file I believe since it works after a few tries. It’s a private registry that’s always online and the registry doesn’t show any problems.

Here’s my yml file for the build part:

kind: pipeline
name: public

steps:
  - name: build
    image: plugins/docker
    environment:
      DISCORD_API_KEY:
        from_secret: DISCORD_API_KEY
    settings:
      repo: private.myregistry.com/mypackage
      registry: private.myregistry.com
      tags: [ latest ]
      username:
        from_secret: username
      password:
        from_secret: password
      build_args_from_env:
        - DISCORD_API_KEY
    debug: true

Thanks in advance!

can you please provide the full logs (from the UI) for this pipeline step?

EDIT: also can you provide the following?

  1. the results of drone secret ls <repo>
  2. drone secret info <repo> username
  3. drone secret info <repo> password
  4. the result of drone build info <repo> <build>

That’s all it shows I’m afraid. image
Any other logs I can provide that will help?

basically you are getting an Error authenticating which would imply a problem with your username or password.

Yeah I assumed the same, but it works after a few attempts without changing anything. Lemme get all the data you asked in your edit.

hmm, I don’t see anything. The most common use case for these sorts of errors are:

  1. invalid username or password
  2. copy / paste error when creating a secret
  3. newline or whitespace accidentally added when creating secret
  4. secret not available for pull request (not applicable in this case, since the build is a push)
  5. yaml syntax error (I do not see anything here)
  6. docker password is a temporary password and expired (common with ecr, gcr, etc which generate temporary credentials)

Alright, I’ll keep looking myself. Thanks anyway :slight_smile:
