Reaching Docker Hub limit

[Fabazad]

After using several times a day this action, I get blocked with this message : Is it possible either to give the possibility

• To cache the docker images
• To login to Docker Hub

[Fabazad]

We think that's because we use buildjet instead of github in our runs-on config

@Fabazad Hey, looks like rate limiting comes from using Buildjet. I assume you read the FAQ for rate limiting on Buildjet already.

Did you also try to login against Docker Hub increasing your rate limit? You may use the Docker Login GitHub Action.

@Fabazad Can you share an update?

@marcuspoehls we're having this same issue using buildjet. I added a docker login as the first step in my workflow but the build always runs before any of the steps so we constantly hit the rate limit.

@mrollinsiv I’m not using Buildjet and don’t know their service. Can’t help here, sorry

[mrollinsiv]

@marcuspoehls my guess is this is actually just a GHA issue. I ran a build on both ubuntu-latest and buildjet. Both yielded the same order of operations.

Here's an image of the order in which GHA runs:

The builds are run before any of the steps run. Which means that even if I use the docker login step it's run too late.

I'll move to GHA as the source of the issue.

@mrollinsiv are you able to resolve this?
