Troubleshooting

• Cannot push to a registry

Cannot push to a registry

While pushing to a registry, you may encounter these kinds of issues:

• failed commit on ref "layer-sha256:...": invalid content digest in response: invalid checksum digest format
• failed commit on ref "layer-sha256:...": no response
• failed commit on ref "manifest-sha256:...": unexpected status: 400 Bad Request
• failed commit on ref "manifest-sha256:...": unexpected status: 401 Unauthorized
• unexpected response: 401 Unauthorized

These issues are not directly related to this action but are rather linked to buildx, buildkit, containerd or the registry on which you're pushing your image. The quality of error message depends on the registry and are usually not very informative.

To help you solve this, you have to enable debugging in the setup-buildx action step and attach BuildKit container logs to your issue.

Next you can test pushing with containerd action using the following workflow. If it works then open an issue on buildkit repository.

name: containerd
