Unable to push docker image with fabric8 plugin

Question

I'm unable to push a docker image to a private repository (hosted on https://hub.docker.com ) with fabric8 plugin. I created on hub.docker a repository called: manuzid/heap-dump-sample . It's a simple Spring Boot app only with a loop in the main function. the interesting part is the following in the pom.xml:

<plugin>
            <groupId>io.fabric8</groupId>
            <artifactId>docker-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>0.27.2</version>
            <configuration>
                <registry>index.docker.io/v1</registry>
                <!-- I think it's not necessary, plugin use the creds from docker config.json -->
                <authConfig>
                    <username>user</username>

I get the following error in the console: [ERROR] DOCKER> Unable to push 'manuzid/heap-dump-sample:latest' from registry 'index.docker.io/v1' : denied: requested access to the resource is denied [denied: requested access to the resource is denied ]

But the specified credentials are the same I use to log into the website ( https://hub.docker.com ). The specified registry url index.docker.io/v1 is obtained with the command docker info .

Any suggestions on this? Thanks in advance.

Edit: This example can be found here: https://github.com/ManuZiD/heap-dump-sample

I have had issues with both pulling and pushing images and through research which I cannot fully remember I was able to resolve this issue by modifying my Docker credentials store

Note executing docker login will create this file and also overwrite its contents ( I suggest making a backup! )

The content of config.json should be something like:

{
    "HttpHeaders": {
        "User-Agent": "Docker-Client/19.03.12 (windows)"
    },
    "auths": {
        "https://hub.docker.com/v1/": {
            "auth": "AUTH-TOKEN"
        },
        "https://index.docker.io/v1/": {
            "auth": "AUTH-TOKEN"
        }
    },
    "credsStore": "desktop",
    "stackOrchestrator": "swarm"
}

AUTH-TOKEN needs to contain base64{docker-user-id:docker-password}:

echo "docker-user-id:docker-password" | base64

Note this can be decoded using

echo AUTH-TOKEN | base64 -d

Warning Never share the contents of your config.json file!

This is my windows client credentials as you will notice from the user-agent details. OSX users may prefer to utlise an OSX key-chain
