Resolving requested access to the resource is denied on Dockerhub

Occasionally, you might encounter an error message stating that Requested access to the resource is denied when attempting to push images on Docker Hub.

In this article, I will provide steps to resolve it.

Solution

1. Log in to the Docker Hub account in the command line.

docker login -u mkobi

1. Tag your image build

docker tag quotes:latest mkobi/quotes:v2

1. View image locally via the Docker Desktop

2. Push the image to your private docker repository

docker push mkobi/quotes:v2

The output is similar to this:
