Troubleshooting Compose

Registry authentication issues

The Compose binary will prioritize the configuration file ~/.docker/config over Podman credentials.

Issues encountered

docker-credential-desktop missing:

docker.credentials.errors.InitializationError: docker-credential-desktop not installed or not available in PATH

Authentication access:

Error response from daemon: {"message":"denied: requested access to the resource is denied"}
Error: executing /usr/local/bin/docker-compose up: exit status 18

Solution

Delete the ~/.docker/config to clear any errors.
