Kamal setup fails due to docker login issue

[azzenabidi]

Hi, I followed the documentation and tutorial.

Every time I run kamal setup, it starts executing. It installs docker on the remote server then I get this error:
ERROR (SSHKit::Command::Failed): docker exit status: 32000 docker stdout: Nothing written docker stderr: flag needs an argument: 'p' in -p See 'docker login --help'.
I verified that I could access the server with ssh and login to my docker as well.
Any solution?

what worked for me is injecting my dockerhub token in kamal_password in .secrets then I added .secrets to gitignore so that it does not get pushed to the server for security reasons. they say another method is setting up environment variables in bashrc. I still have not tried that tho.

[azzenabidi]

I fixed my issue by adding env variable to .bashrc file as follows
export KAMAL_REGISTRY_PASSWORD="your dockerhub account token"

then load env variables by executing:

source ~/.bashrc

kamal 2 documentation needs to be updated to account for such details. I will send a PR

Hey everyone!
I faced the same issue and fixed it by changing the alias:

kamal='docker run -it --rm -v "${PWD}:/workdir" -v "/run/host-services/ssh-auth.sock:/run/host-services/ssh-auth.sock" -e SSH_AUTH_SOCK="/run/host-services/ssh-auth.sock" -e KAMAL_REGISTRY_PASSWORD=$KAMAL_REGISTRY_PASSWORD -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock ghcr.io/basecamp/kamal:latest'

so I added

-e KAMAL_REGISTRY_PASSWORD=$KAMAL_REGISTRY_PASSWORD

and then just set KAMAL_REGISTRY_PASSWORD=my_token

using the gem will fix this issues

I'm using the kamal gem but still getting this issue as well. Kamal doesn't pick up my .env file

Kamal works using the secret file https://kamal-deploy.org/docs/configuration/environment-variables/
