How to fix “requested access to the resource is denied”

Step 1: Re-login to Docker Hub

docker logout 

Then log in again (you will be prompted for your username and password after executing the command below from your Docker Hub:

docker login 

Step 2: Build the image and name it Tag

Build the image (in our example below the name of our tag will be mw-cloud):

docker build -t mw-cloud .

Assign your Docker Hub repository to the image you built in the step above (in the example below, the name of our repository is “masterdaweb”):

docker tag mw-cloud masterdaweb/mw-cloud:mw-cloud

Step 3: Docker Push your image

Now let’s push our image to Docker Hub:

 docker push  masterdaweb/mw-cloud:mw-cloud

That’s it! Image successfully uploaded to Docker Hub:
