Why am I seeing docker: Error response from daemon: Please run 'docker login'. when I am logged in on Docker Desktop!

I recently faced this issue and I want to share my resolution and other ways to solve.

issue:

docker: Error response from daemon: Please run 'docker login'.

Why am I seeing this error? Well docker is having a hard time trying to identify you credentials. Here are few things to try

• Run docker login

  • This may be redundant but if you have not already ensure you are actually logged in

• run docker logout then docker login

  • sometimes the sessions have be invalidated by some factor.

• remove your docker config

  • Your credentials are stored in docker config. so if you are mac run rm ~/.docker/config.json

• uninstall docker desktop

• uninstall docker-cli
