docker login to gitlab registry with github account

Question

I've just created a GitLab account with my GitHub account.

How do I sign in to my GitLab registry using my GitHub account?

docker login with my GitHub password doesn't work.

Answer 1

Once your GitLab account created, you should be able to create a PAT (Personal Access Token)

docker login -u gitlab-token -p gitlab-token ...

As noted in issue 21309, when running from GitLAb-CI, that would be

docker login -u gitlab-ci-token -p $CI_BUILD_TOKEN registry.gitlab.com
