github token not working about github-ci HOT 6 CLOSED

Ah gotcha! Do you want to PR to update the docs here and clarify what you did so the next person doesn’t run into the same issue? It would be greatly appreciated.

Actually looks like the docs were say:

To authenticate to the Container registry within a GitHub Actions workflow, use the GITHUB_TOKEN for the best security and experience. If your workflow is using a personal access token (PAT) to authenticate to ghcr.io, then we highly recommend you update your workflow to use the GITHUB_TOKEN.

https://docs.github.com/en/packages/working-with-a-github-packages-registry/working-with-the-container-registry

And this guide says you must give permission to a specific repo's actions for a given package: https://docs.github.com/en/packages/managing-github-packages-using-github-actions-workflows/publishing-and-installing-a-package-with-github-actions#upgrading-a-workflow-that-accesses-ghcrio

It should indeed work - I think there could be a few reasons it wouldn't:

1. you didn't enable users to have public/private access to packages in the org settings
2. your user doesn't have the correct permissions (everywhere I've used this successfully I have admin/owner)

If you can give me a more specific error message I could perhaps help - I'm going for my run now but will be back in about an hour!

Sorry I updated my comments from under your feet but I think I found the problem.

It's very unintuitive but even though a package is linked with a repo, that doesn't mean the repo's actions are automatically authorized to push to that package.

I had to manually add the repo there.

Sure! I'll know shortly that this fixes my issue. I can also confirm I did the two things you mentioned above and that wasn't enough.
