📝 Describe your problem

When I try to upload a private repository, I get an error, and this is quite logical.

However, I'm wondering how I can access the private repository? I can't open access to it because it contains confidential information.

This worked for me on a docker host:
(example uses gitlab, should adapt to other registries, too)

1. Obtain deploy user credentials. On a gitlab project, navigate to settings -> repository -> deploy token and create a token with permission to read registry
2. SSH to your host, authenticate as root
3. use docker login registry.gitlab.com -u USER -p PASSWORD to authenticate with the created credentials
4. This is important, if you work with different repositories using different deployment credentials:
   1. open /root/.docker/config.json for editing
   2. Find the entry for registry.gitlab.com and append the path of your image, should look like this: registry.gitlab.com/cyberbellum96/this-my-repo
   3. Now this credentials are only used for images under this specific path. That allows you to repeat this procedure for other images using different credentials.
5. Mount the docker config folder to dockge as readonly volume: $HOME/.docker:/root/.docker:ro
6. Restart dockge. Now dockge can use the credentials to pull your images
