So, how can I login to docker.pkg.github.com? this really confuses me a lot

This is a bug with the fallback registry, introduced in 7914d057d1f5bfd81ea6a01882916c3a193067bd

But there also must have been some issue with the primary ?

You can try pulling it manually, maybe get better messages...

docker pull gcr.io/k8s-minikube/kicbase:v0.0.10

[medyagh]

@dumbdonkey I suspect you are in a restricted network !
you can try to do this
minikube start --driver=docker --base-image= gcr.io/k8s-minikube/kicbase:v0.0.10

replace gcr.io/k8s-minikube/kicbase:v0.0.10 with your country's image repository.

[medyagh]

@dumbdonkey can you please try this?

docker pull docker.pkg.github.com/kubernetes/minikube/kicbase:v0.0.10

[afbjorklund]

I get:

 docker pull docker.pkg.github.com/kubernetes/minikube/kicbase:v0.0.10
Error response from daemon: Get https://docker.pkg.github.com/v2/kubernetes/minikube/kicbase/manifests/v0.0.10: no basic auth credentials

I think you need to authenticate for all GitHub Packages access, but only need read:packages

https://help.github.com/en/packages/publishing-and-managing-packages/about-github-packages

They got some (deserved) feedback that this was very unclear from the text on the help site...

You need an access token to publish, install, and delete packages in GitHub Packages

https://github.community/t5/GitHub-Actions/docker-pull-from-public-GitHub-Package-Registry-fail-with-quot/td-p/32782

Yes, at present you do need to authenticate to read even publicly available packages.

  E0514 18:00:39.534977 9696 cache.go:129] Error downloading kic artifacts: getting remote image: GET https://docker.pkg.github.com/v2/kubernetes/minikube/kicbase/manifests/v0.0.10: UNAUTHORIZED: GitHub Docker Registry needs login

1、I use docker login like this:
docker login https://docker.pkg.github.com --username 1067511899 --password ce5455257(the token I get from https://github.com/settings/tokens).
2、I use docker pull and the result is:
docker pull docker.pkg.github.com/kubernetes/minikube/kicbase:v0.0.10
v0.0.10: Pulling from kubernetes/minikube/kicbase
Digest: sha256:966cb63dd675235b2bf3146c98aae41a30ce62484c6da58190099389b7e8ff2d
Status: Image is up to date for docker.pkg.github.com/kubernetes/minikube/kicbase:v0.0.10
docker.pkg.github.com/kubernetes/minikube/kicbase:v0.0.10

so,what can I do to solve the UNAUTHORIZED problem?

thanks a lot.

[medyagh]

we need to add a solution message that if we fall back to github image, the use needs to login

"docker login docker.pkg.github.com"

I would accept any PR that would fix this by adding a solution message, only if the error is unauthorized

[jitendrawas33]

I was able to get minikube started after referencing locally downloaded image.
Hope it helps !
