docker-compose should not require golang-github-docker-docker-credential-helpers package

[nyet]

Due to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/golang-github-docker-docker-credential-helpers/+bug/1794307, there should be a way to remove or not install golang-github-docker-docker-credential-helpers

Please remove the strict dependency on golang-github-docker-docker-credential-helpers.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Should be golang-docker-credential-helpers?

[nyet (nyetwurk)]

Also, it is brought it due to python3-dockerpycreds

Is there anyone here?

FWIW.

I had 4 Bionic installs that just had docker-ce installed from the repo along with pip docker and this issue hit me. These hosts did not have docker-compose installed. I just had to `apt -y remove golang-docker-credential-helpers; pip install docker` to get it to work via command line or saltstack state apply.

The whole idea that avoiding deb packaging fixes the problem is a serious problem. The culture of docker (containers, pip, snap, etc) seems to encourage abandoning sane packaging because it's too difficult, apparently.

my workaround for now is renaming /usr/bin/docker-credential-secretservice - login works again, but I did not test what else it might break.

just found another solution using pass (apt-get install pass (and some dependencies I'd rather not want to have installed, but still better than having to install gnome-keyring...) ). this will not store plain text credentials in your ~/.docker/config.json.
