Unable to docker login / pull public images from nvcr.io (403 Forbidden)

Accelerated Computing NGC GPU Cloud

Hello NVIDIA team,

I’m running into an issue accessing nvcr.io via Docker and would appreciate clarification

What I have:

  • NVIDIA Developer Program: Active

  • NGC Catalog access via browser: works

  • NGC API keys: tested both personal and legacy keys

  • Username used for Docker: $oauthtoken (as documented)

Problem:
I consistently receive 403 Forbidden when attempting to log in or pull even public images from nvcr.io.

Example:

docker login nvcr.io
Username: $oauthtoken
Password: <NGC_API_KEY>

Error response from daemon:
login attempt to https://nvcr.io/v2/ failed with status: 403 Forbidden
