Docker is unable to access Github registry during action in self-hosted runner

Behaviour

Steps to reproduce this issue

1. Create personal token
2. Deploy token with repository
3. Trigger action

Expected behaviour

During “Starting job container” Docker logs into ghcr.io and syncs container before next step

Actual behaviour

##[debug]Evaluating: success()

This broke at August 26th while working just fine before. The secret has not expired and also still works for manual login into ghcr.io. Only the action fails to perform. Re-runs of previously successful actions fail, as well.

Please note that there already is a feedback about this in the GitHub community that for the last days nobody had responded to.

I don’t know. This repository is about the docker login action (see README). Not docker login command by itself.

The ContainerOperationProvider.cs in the log is part of your GitHub Action.

It’s part of the runner application. Suggest to open an issue on https://github.com/actions/runner

@crazy-max Interesting. What other than “docker login” fails during my actions then? The ContainerOperationProvider.cs in the log is part of your GitHub Action. Or isn’t it? Can you point me to the responsible project, if you think that it has nothing to do with docker login?
