Unable to authenticate my AWS credentials for ECR

Question

I have installed the latest versions of the aws-cli-2 and docker, as well as ran "aws configure" and entered my access key and secret key. I have also verified the aws.config is correct and showing the right region and output format. My credentials in AWS are admin. I keep getting the following error:

'''Unable to locate credentials. You can configure credentials by running "aws configure". Error: Cannot perform an interactive login from a non TTY device'''

Even though I have already ran 'aws configure.' I am running the commands prefixed with 'sudo' as well. Any thoughts?! Thank you for your time!

Answer 1

The aws configure command was being run as the local user, whereas the ecr command was being run as sudo.

If you run commands as sudo it will not have access to your local users config, it will instead default to the root users.

Instead ensure all commands are run as the same user.

If you want to use the aws credentials file from the default location you can also specify the location via the AWS_CONFIG_FILE environment variable.
