Am I configuring environment variables for the default user, but it does not work with aws ecr get-login why?

> export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=SOMEID
> export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=SOMEID
> sudo aws ecr get-login --no-include-email --region eu-west-1

This gives the error:

Unable to locate credentials. You can configure credentials by running "aws configure".

Using AWS configure resolves the issue. However, I would like to use environment variables instead.

  • I can see the environment variables are set and correct using env
amazon-ecr amazon-web-services

By default, sudo doesn't pass your local environment variables to the root process it spawns. You have to tell it to pass those environment variables to the process with the --preserve-env argument.

Or just set the values on the same command:

sudo AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=SOMEID AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=SOMEID aws ecr get-login --no-include-email --region eu-west-1
