Docker Login action breaks other GH Actions that are Docker-related about docker-login HOT 6 CLOSED

What's the error you're seeing?

from docker-login.

Error was completely unrelated:

You can see the full pipeline and the run here: https://github.com/ItalyPaleAle/Statiko/runs/445077709?check_suite_focus=true

from docker-login.

Based on the documentation provided by docker here buildx is an experimental feature, in order to enable it you need to explicitly add experimental flag to the config.json file. When you use docker-login action, it ends up creating a new config.json file and overrides the DOCKER_CONFIG variable.
This explains why your action run was failing because docker cli wasn't able to recognize buildx cause experimental flag was unset in the config.

As a mitigation I suggest you use docker-login just before your push command if your build isn't trying to use the login credentials anywhere.

Thanks, will try.

Is there a way maybe to add an "enableExperimental" flag to this action?

from docker-login.

Not right now.

from docker-login.

While I was digging more into this I figured a few things. These flags you set are going to be in a new file called daemon.json under the docker config's folder.

This action:

1. Creates a new folder
2. Adds the generated config.json file to that folder
3. Sets/Overrides a DOCKER_CONFIG environment variable to the newly created folder.

So, you can add an additional action in your workflow explicitly to create a daemon.json file under the $DOCKER_CONFIG folder, and set all the flags you need for your workflows in that file.

Here's all the flags you can set: https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/dockerd/#daemon-configuration-file
