Credential saving error when connecting to service on docker

Question

I am on a silicon chip Macbook Pro running macOS Monterey version 12.0.1 and the following error occurs on attempting to connect to the NGC service using sudo docker login ncvr.io.

Error saving credentials: error storing credentials - err: exit status 1, out: `Post "http://ipc/registry/credstore-updated": dial unix /var/root/Library/Containers/com.docker.docker/Data/backend.sock: connect: no such file or directory`

You will need to have docker running. Try opening Docker Desktop and attempt your login again.

i had the same issue and could resolve it by deleting the ~/.docker/config.json file. originally it contained only one entry being "credStore=desktop". after deletion, and trying to login again, it changed to "osxkeychain".

Surprisingly it worked also for me, but I don't understand why :( – Ariel Catala Valencia Sep 07 '22 at 15:18

Also worked for me in macOS. – Guilherme Z. Santos Oct 07 '22 at 13:01

Simply opening Docker Desktop, a newly upgraded version on my system I think, fixed the issue for me. My ~/.docker/config.json file had set `"credsStore": "desktop"` for what it's worth. – Chris Miller Oct 19 '22 at 12:37
Thanks. It worked for me on Docker version 4.13.0 macOs – Michael Yimam Aug 03 '23 at 20:21
This can be used when you are not using docker desktop anymore. – Prashant Kalkar Aug 21 '23 at 10:35
