Unable to push docker image to GitHub Packages

Question

I am unable to publish docker image to GitHub Packages.

Although I have followed the instructions found here:
https://docs.github.com/en/actions/publishing-packages/publishing-docker-images#publishing-images-to-github-packages

name: HazelCast
on:
  push:
    branches:
      - '**'
    tags:
      - v*.*.*
    paths:
      - dev/hazelcast/**

env:
  REGISTRY: ghcr.io
  IMAGE_NAME: company/group/application/hazelcast

jobs:
  docker:
    name: Build HazelCast Docker Image
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v3
        with:
          fetch-depth: 0
      - name: Set up Docker Buildx
        uses: docker/setup-buildx-action@v3
      - name: Login to GitHub Registry
        uses: docker/login-action@v3
        with:
          registry: ${{ env.REGISTRY }}
          username: ${{ secrets.APP_WRITE_USER }}
          password: ${{ secrets.APP_WRITE_TOKEN }}
      - name: Extract metadata (tags, labels) for Docker
        id: meta
        uses: docker/metadata-action@v5
        with:
          images: ${{ env.REGISTRY }}/${{ env.IMAGE_NAME }}
      - name: Build and push
        uses: docker/build-push-action@v5
        with:
          context: dev/hazelcast
          push: true
          tags: ${{ steps.meta.outputs.tags }}
          labels: ${{ steps.meta.outputs.labels }}

This builds fine, and it looks like it pushed the docker image.

#8 pushing manifest for ghcr.io/company/group/application/hazelcast:master@sha256:ff4a7ebfbfbed7b76e905ed3875388cf60f6500c0b6721495efae1a7cf1238fd 1.4s done
#8 DONE 2.2s

Although the Docker image is not in GitHub packages.

I even tried to build it manually with docker command.

      - name: Build docker image
        run: |
          docker build --no-cache \
            --label org.opencontainers.image.source=https://github.com/company/application-hazelcast \
            --label org.opencontainers.image.version=latest \
            --label org.opencontainers.image.title=hazelcast \
            -t ${{ env.REGISTRY }}/${{ env.IMAGE_NAME }}:latest ./.
          docker inspect ${{ env.REGISTRY }}/${{ env.IMAGE_NAME }}:latest
          docker push ${{ env.REGISTRY }}/${{ env.IMAGE_NAME }}:latest

But still, it pushed the docker image, but the image is not listed in project packages.

Have you enabled write privileges for GitHub Packages? From the GH docs link you referenced:

permissions:
     contents: read
     packages: write

You can also handle this when you create/modify a GHA API key.
