I believe this is the intended result (sorta). The point of using amazon-ecr-credential-helper is to not need to use docker login. You should instead configure the AWS CLI with your profile credentials (mine: myprofile). Then, you would just need to slightly modify your scripts.
For example, in ECR the AWS given steps to upload a docker image are:
Retrieve an authentication token and authenticate your Docker client
to your registry. Use the AWS CLI:
aws ecr get-login-password --region us-east-2 | docker login --username AWS --password-stdin XXXXXXXXX.dkr.ecr.us-east-2.amazonaws.com
Note: If you receive an error using the AWS CLI, make sure that you have the latest version of
the AWS CLI and Docker installed.
Build your Docker image using the
following command. For information on building a Docker file from
scratch see the instructions here . You can skip this step if your
image is already built:
docker build -t toy_project .
After the build completes, tag your
image so you can push the image to this repository:
docker tag toy_project:latest XXXXXXXXX.dkr.ecr.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/toy_project:latest
Run the following command to push this image to your newly created AWS
repository:
docker push XXXXXXXXX.dkr.ecr.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/toy_project:latest
However, you would want to skip step 1. The reason is that if you configured aws cli (i.e. aws configure --profile myprofile) then your credentials will be stored. So you can skip to step 2.
On the 4th step, you simply need to add AWS_PROFILE, just like below
AWS_PROFILE=myprofile docker push XXXXXXXXX.dkr.ecr.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/toy_project:latest`
With amazon-ecr-credential-helper, you no longer need to use docker login or worry about storing credentials, that is the point of amazon-ecr-credential-helper. However, this may not be the best solution for you if you need to actively use docker login in your scripts.
Note: my ~/.docker/config.json looks like
{
"credsStore": "ecr-login"
}
