I have created a two instance docker swarm on Google Compute Engine.

Docker version 18.06.1-ce, build e68fc7a on Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS

I created a service account:

gcloud iam service-accounts create ${KEY_NAME} --display-name "${KEY_DISPLAY_NAME}"
gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding $PROJECT --member serviceAccount:${KEY_NAME}@${PROJECT}.iam.gserviceaccount.com --role roles/storage.admin
gcloud iam service-accounts keys create --iam-account ${KEY_NAME}@${PROJECT}.iam.gserviceaccount.com key.json

Transferred the key.json to my docker swarm master:

Then I ran the following commands:

gcloud auth configure-docker
cat key.json | tr '\n' ' ' | docker login -u _json_key --password-stdin \
    https://eu.gcr.io

I can successfully pull an image from my private eu.gcr.io repository:

docker pull eu.gcr.io/$PROJECT/$IMAGE

So, logging in seems to work and the gcloud helper seems to be properly installed.

But creating a service in my swarm fails:

docker service create --replicas 2 --network overlay --name $NAME eu.gcr.io/$PROJECT/$IMAGE --with-registry-auth
image eu.gcr.io/$PROJECT/$IMAGE:latest could not be accessed on a registry to record
its digest. Each node will access eu.gcr.io/$PROJECT/$IMAGE:latest independently,
possibly leading to different nodes running different versions of the image.

overall progress: 0 out of 2 tasks 
1/2: No such image: eu.gcr.io/$PROJECT/$IMAGE:latest 
2/2: No such image: eu.gcr.io/$PROJECT/$IMAGE:latest 

Looking in syslog shows the following:

Aug 25 13:37:15 mgr-1 dockerd[1368]: time="2018-08-25T13:37:15.299064551Z" level=info msg="Attempting next endpoint for pull after error: unauthorized: You don't have the needed permissions to perform this operation, and you may have invalid credentials.

AFAICS, I use the correct service account JSON to login into the Google Container Repository (as docker pull works), I added the flag --with-registry-auth to docker create service which has been the answer to similar questions, but still it doesn't work. Is docker create service working similar to docker pull?

Any ideas how I might solve this?

UPDATE

Instead of Google Container Registry I tried Gitlab Registry as well. Created a registry deploy token on the Gitlab site and entered the following commands:

docker login registry.gitlab.com -u $USERNAME -p $PASSWORD

Then this just works:

docker pull registry.gitlab.com/$ORGANISATION/$PROJECT/$IMAGE

But this command fails with a similar error:

docker service create --replicas 2 --network overlay  --name $NAME registry.gitlab.com/$ORGANISATION/$PROJECT/$IMAGE --with-registry-auth

image registry.gitlab.com/$ORGANISATION/$PROJECT/$IMAGE:latest could not be accessed on a registry to record
its digest. Each node will access registry.gitlab.com/$ORGANISATION/$PROJECT/$IMAGE:latest independently,
possibly leading to different nodes running different
versions of the image.

overall progress: 0 out of 2 tasks

2/2: No such image: $ORGANISATION/$PROJECT/$IMAGE:latest

And /var/log/syslog contains

Aug 25 21:56:14 mgr-1 dockerd[1368]: time="2018-08-25T21:56:14.615895063Z" level=error msg="pulling image failed" error="Get https://registry.gitlab.com/v2/$ORGANISATION/$PROJECT/$IMAGE/manifests/latest: denied: access forbidden" module=node/agent/taskmanager node.id=xgozmc8iyjls7ulh4k3tvions service.id=r5fqg94jrvt587le0fu779zaw task.id=huwpjtu1wujk527t84y7yvbvd

So it seems docker create service doesn't use the credentials provided and the issue is not related to either Google Container Registry or Gitlab Registry?

OK, I found the problem. I had to use:

docker service create --with-registry-auth --replicas 2 --network overlay  --name $NAME registry.gitlab.com/$ORGANISATION/$PROJECT/$IMAGE

rather than

docker service create --replicas 2 --network overlay  --name $NAME registry.gitlab.com/$ORGANISATION/$PROJECT/$IMAGE --with-registry-auth

In the latter case the --with-registry-auth was considered an argument to my image rather than to the docker service create call and hence no authentication was used to pull the images from either private repository.
