    Hi l0b0​ ,

    Thanks for sharing this. Could you also confirm that you are using the "~/.config/containers/auth.json" file from the blog post?

    {
    "credHelpers": {
        "docker.io": "secretservice"
    }
}

    Thanks,
    Phil

      Yep, everything except for the 1Password GUI integration is working as expected:

      ❯ cat ~/.config/containers/auth.json
{
  "credHelpers": {
    "registry.gitlab.com": "1password-helper"
  }
}
❯ command -v docker-credential-1password-helper
/run/current-system/sw/bin/docker-credential-1password-helper
❯ docker-credential-1password-helper get <<< registry.gitlab.com
{
  "Username": "_",
  "Secret": "glpat-[redacted]"
}
❯ podman login registry.gitlab.com
