Hello everyone. It is my first post here after using gitea for more than 1 year without issues. The issue I am having today is with Gitea/runner Gitea Runner(version:v1.0.3) received task 1100 of job Build and push yggdrasil docker image, be triggered by event: push workflow prepared evaluating expression ‘success()’ expression ‘success()’ evaluated to ‘true’ Starting job container Error response from daemon: Head “[https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/gitea/runner-images/manifests/ubuntu-latest](https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/gitea/runner-images/manifests/ubuntu-latest)”;: unknown: malformed HTTP Authorization header > **** > The host is logged out and logged back in to docker using a personal access token. The runner runs fine if I docker pull gitea/runner-images:ubuntu-latest On the host first. Anybody know how I can fix the error the runner is pointing me at? Thanks ---

Fixed it. Somehow the config.yaml file was gone on the host. Created a new one and the runner can now pull gitea/runner-images:ubuntu-latest if it doesn’t exist …
