OS: Ubuntu 18.04 Server
Docker 18.3 CE
I am logged onto the server, from my Windows 10 laptop, using a PuTTY SSH session.
I don't have Docker on my local Windows laptop, so all the work is done on the remote server.
I can execute all Docker commands, on the remote server, using the terminal session.
However, when I try to save my image to the Docker hub, when I try to login, using:
docker login
I get the following error message:
error getting credentials - err: exit status 1, out: `GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.secrets was not provided by any .service files`
I did not get any error messages, when I created my image on the remote server.
I also do not see a .docker folder in the related home directory on the remote server. Any ideas?
Edit 2019-04-07:
As this is the currently selected answer, I think people should try @Anish Varghese solution below first as it seems to be the easiest. You only need to install the gnupg2 and pass packages:
sudo apt install gnupg2 pass
If it doesn't work, then you can try my original solution here:
I had the same issue. bak2trak answer worked, but it saved credentials in clear text. Here's the solution if you want to keep them in a password store.
1) Download docker-credential-pass from https://github.com/docker/docker-credential-helpers/releases
2) tar -xvf docker-credential-pass.tar.gz
3) chmod u+x docker-credential-pass
4) mv docker-credential-pass /usr/bin
5) You will need to setup docker-credential-pass (following steps are based of https://github.com/docker/docker-credential-helpers/issues/102#issuecomment-388634452)
5.1) install gpg and pass (apt-get install gpg pass)
5.2) gpg --generate-key, enter your information. You should see something like this:
pub rsa3072 2018-10-07 [SC] [expires: 2020-10-06]
1234567890ABCDEF1234567890ABCDEF12345678
Copy the 123... line
5.3) pass init 1234567890ABCDEF1234567890ABCDEF12345678 (paste)
5.4) pass insert docker-credential-helpers/docker-pass-initialized-check and set the next password "pass is initialized" (without quotes).
5.5) pass show docker-credential-helpers/docker-pass-initialized-check. You should see pass is initialized.
5.6) docker-credential-pass list
6) create a ~/.docker/config.json with:
{
"credsStore": "pass"
}
7) docker login should now work
Note: If you get the error "pass store is uninitialized" in future run, run the below command (it will reload the pass store in memory):
pass show docker-credential-helpers/docker-pass-initialized-check
It will ask your password and it will initialize the pass store.
This is based off this discussion: https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/25169#issuecomment-431129898

Didn't work for me. I get the message when I try docker login: "error getting credentials - err: exit status 1, out: `pass store is uninitialized" – GlacialSpoon Oct 29 '18 at 13:02

I started again after uninstalling pass and deleting the .password-store folder. Seems better now. Thanks. – GlacialSpoon Oct 29 '18 at 13:43

2@Jean-Phillipe Jodoin, thanks. It seems I have to call this periodically otherwise the login call fails to find the credentials. I read this might be something to do with the gpg cache expiring and the "pass show" wakes it up. When the server reboots I have to go back to the "pass insert" step before things work. It's not very convenient but it is allowing me to proceed. – GlacialSpoon Oct 30 '18 at 15:08

1Check the answer by Anish Varghese below, it seems to be the easiest and cleanest solution. – Aurelien Nov 22 '18 at 2:58

1@JoePhillips: Agreed with you. Integrated his solution with citation. – Jean-Philippe Jodoin Apr 7 '19 at 12:01
Install the following Packages in ubuntu fixed my issue
sudo apt install gnupg2 pass
-
1didn't work for me, but also installing gpg worked: "sudo apt install gnupg2 pass gpg" – Jörg Beyer Dec 29 '18 at 17:27

6Worked for me on ubuntu 18.04 too. I only issued
sudo apt install pass, the rest came as its dependencies – Álex Mar 21 '19 at 15:09 -
4Worked for me on Unbuntu 18.04. – Gill Bates Jul 13 '19 at 17:39

5What is the root of the problem? and why how
gnupg2 passwill fix the problem? – Neo Dec 9 '19 at 4:55 -
1Worked for me at ubuntu 19.04 too – Ammad Khalid Mar 24 at 22:11
docker loginfrom within a LXD/LXC container. That particular one I solved by copying.docker/config.jsonfrom my host over to my$HOME/.docker/directory within the LXD/LXC container, which I created manually. I'm currently trying to figure out another issue now, but wanted to ask if you had you tried doing this yet? – code_dredd May 9 '18 at 22:07
