Giving clojure build the authorization to access datomic-pro from a docker container

General
1

when clojure -t:build uber is called from the running docker container it fails because it’s not authorized. Here is the full Stack trace:

the container has a /tmp/.credentials file and i pass it my AWS creds as env vars.

Here is a docker container that i presume works and it uses the credentials file Docker Hub

I solved this by setting my ~/.settings.xml in my docker container like described here Clojure - Deps and CLI Reference

NOTE that in settings.xml server > id is/should be “my.datomic.com” and not the URL “https://my.datomic.com/repo”.

At least in my case
