Description

$ opensafely pull
Updating OpenSAFELY cohortextractor image
Error response from daemon: Head "https://ghcr.io/v2/opensafely-core/cohortextractor/manifests/latest": denied: denied

I was able to fix this by running docker logout ghcr.io, which has removed a section from ~/.docker/config.json.

See this Slack thread.

Research direction

Start by reproducing opensafely pull with the stale ~/.docker/config.json entry and compare the behavior after docker logout ghcr.io. Trace the opensafely pull entry point to determine how Docker authentication is handled; done means new images can be pulled without requiring users to log out manually.
