Description

Hello, is there a way to use amazon-ecr-credential-helper when running a new container? Currently I'm getting:

docker.errors.APIError: 500 Server Error for http://mydockerserver:2375/v1.43/images/create?tag=mytag&fromImage=xxxx.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Ffoo: Internal Server Error ("Head "https://xxxx.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/v2/foo/manifests/mytag": no basic auth credentials"

On mydockerserver docker pull works using AWS_PROFILE:

AWS_PROFILE=myawsprofile docker run xxxx.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/foo:mytag
Success

Same "no basic auth credentials" error I'm obtaining on mydockerserver when AWS_PROFILE=myawsprofile is not supplied.

So basically passing AWS_PROFILE into the execution context on the remote docker server should resolve the problem, right?

Research direction

Start with the images/create API entry point used by the pull and run commands, then review how remote Docker Engine requests receive registry credentials. Compare this with amazon-ecr-credential-helper and AWS_PROFILE behavior; done means documenting or implementing a supported way to authenticate ECR image pulls on the remote server.
