denied 🐳 Docker

denied: requested access to the resource is denied (docker push)

You’re logged in, but not allowed to push to that repository — usually the image isn’t tagged with your own username/organisation.

Seen on: Docker

Meaning

docker push myapp tries docker.io/library/myapp, an official namespace you can’t write to. You must tag the image as yourname/myapp (or registry/org/app) first. It also happens when your account lacks write permission on the org repo.

Common causes

  • Image not tagged with your namespace
  • Logged in as a different user than the repo owner
  • No write permission on the organisation repository
  • Repository doesn’t exist and auto-creation isn’t allowed

⚡ Quick fix

  1. Tag with your namespace then push
  2. Check docker info for the logged-in user
  3. Ask an org admin for write access

Detailed fix by platform

Docker

  1. bash
    docker tag myapp:latest yourname/myapp:1.0
docker push yourname/myapp:1.0

How to diagnose

  1. Tag — Does the name start with your user/org?
  2. User — Logged-in account
  3. Permission — Write access on the repo?
