Denied: requested access to the resource is denied

Docker Desktop

I’m starting with docker and using Docker Community Edition - Version 18.03.0-ce-mac60 (23751).
I’m practicing an exercise about build and push to Docker Hub and I found a unexpected problem. After logging (successfully) and running command (docker push pauloperesbr) I receive the message: “denied: requested access to the resource is denied”.
What is happening? Why I’m receiving this message after login with success?
I checked other groups and I don’t had success.
Somebody could help me?

Hi, Paulo.

Pushes are usually of the form

docker push repo/image[:tag]

So, if your repo is A, and your image name is B, that would be

docker push A/B

which would also receive the tag “latest”.

I suspect your Hub login is pauloperesbr, which would often be the repo name, too. So, your pushes of an image named web_service to the repo pauloperesbr might look like

docker push pauloperesbr/web_service:1.20

You can find out more here: https://docs.docker.com/docker-hub/repos/
and here: https://docs.docker.com/docker-cloud/builds/push-images/

Best of luck!

I have this problem.And resolve it now.
First, login your docker account.
Second, use this command:docker images,
this command can show you all images you have, then you chose an image to push.
Third, you should add a tag for image you chose. You can use this command:
docker tag existent_image_name:latest your_user_name/new_image_name:latest
Finally, you use this command:docker push your_user_name/new_image:latest
please try it again, if denied again.You can use sudo command like this:
sudo docker push your_user_name/new_image:latest
good luck!

The fix for me was to change the repo name to reflect the same name of the actual image I am trying to push. After that a simple logout, log back in fixed it.
