FAQ

Why doesn’t buffrs add, buffrs publish, or buffrs login work anymore?

Important

Recent versions of Buffrs support multiple registries. Commands now require the --registry flag.

We expanded Buffrs to handle connections to multiple registries simultaneously. Add --registry https://your-registry.com/artifactory to these commands:

buffrs add --registry https://your-registry.com/artifactory <package>
buffrs publish --registry https://your-registry.com/artifactory
buffrs login --registry https://your-registry.com/artifactory

Note

The buffrs login flag was renamed from --url to --registry for consistency.

Why is my credentials.toml file broken?

Important

The credentials file format changed to support multiple registries.

Old format (single registry):

[artifactory]
url = "https://org.jfrog.io/artifactory"
password = "some-token"

New format (multiple registries):

[[credentials]]
uri = "https://org1.jfrog.io/artifactory"
token = "some-token"

[[credentials]]
uri = "https://org2.jfrog.io/artifactory"
token = "some-other-token"

Tip

Run buffrs login --registry <url> to automatically update your credentials file.

Why can’t I log in with a username?

Important

Username-based authentication is no longer supported. Use tokens instead.

The --username flag has been removed in favor of token-based authentication. This enables support for:

• Identity tokens
• JWT tokens
• Encoded basic auth tokens

All authentication now uses the Authorization header for better security and flexibility.

Tip

Generate an access token from your registry provider and use buffrs login --registry <url> to store it.
