Cloudflare Containers - API authentication issues despite Workers for Platforms enabled
"Hi! I'm trying to use Cloudflare Containers (part of Workers for Platforms) but getting authentication errors with both API tokens and
OAuth. Have Workers for Platforms enabled ($25/month) and proper permissions, but containers commands fail.
Setup:
- ✅ Workers for Platforms enabled ($25/month plan active)
- ✅ Docker Desktop running locally
- ✅ API Token created with comprehensive permissions including:
- Containers:Edit
- Cloudflare Images:Edit
- Workers Scripts:Edit
- D1:Edit, R2:Edit, etc.
Errors:
1.
wrangler containers build → "need to re-authenticate to add a cloudchamber token"
2. With API token → "A request to the Cloudflare API (/memberships) failed"
3. wrangler deploy with token → "Authentication error [code: 10000]"
What Works:
- ✅ wrangler whoami with API token shows account correctly
- ✅ Token verification via curl API returns {"status":"active","success":true}
- ✅ Regular wrangler login (OAuth) works fine
- ✅ Worker deployment works with OAuth authentication
- ✅ Container configuration in wrangler.toml validates without errors
Questions:
1. Is there additional setup required for Containers beyond Workers for Platforms?
2. Why does containers command specifically mention "cloudchamber token" - is this different from API tokens?
3. Should /memberships API endpoint work with Container-enabled API tokens?
4. Is Containers feature fully GA or still in limited beta requiring additional approval?0 Replies
