rpm-ostree upgrade failing: failed to invoke metho...

m
Started seeing this yesterday when trying to manually run
rpm-ostree upgrade
to grab my latest image.
Copy code
error: Preparing import: Fetching manifest: failed to invoke method OpenImage: Requesting bearer token: received unexpected HTTP status: 403 Forbidden
Anyone else suddenly encounter this?

Couple of things to check: 1. Did you make your images private? 2. Did you at some point login to
ghcr.io
as root? The login token may have expired

Yup the images are private, but they already were.
I don't think I've logged in to GHCR as root
I'm not sure if
rpm-ostree
is trying to use docker, podman, or something else under the hood
IIRC, when I first made the images private, all I had to do was login with podman and I was good to go
And
podman pull
is able to pull the image just fine
g
It uses
podman
Or at least the underlying apis
It doesn't use the same container storage
But it does use the same settings as far as I've been able to tell

I think I've figured it out
/etc/ostree/auth.json
looks like this
Copy code
{
  "auths": {
    "ghcr.io": {
      "auth": "<some token>"
    }
  }
}
And I figured out that it didn't actually match what the podman token looked like
I basically just manually updated
/etc/ostree/auth.json
and now
rpm-ostree upgrade
is happily pulling my image
So I'm guessing what happened is that 1. the first time, I had to authenticate podman and `ostree`/`rpm-ostree` just grabbed that data and made a copy of it under
/etc/ostree
2. at some point recently, I had to cycle the GH token 3. logging into podman (with or without sudo) was able to update podman's copy of this just fine, but not this version under
/etc/ostree
, so I was able to pull fine on podman 4.
rpm-ostree upgrade
was now checking
/etc/ostree/auth.json
, seeing the old token, using that, and getting nowhere.
