# Getting started with Docker Hub
|
|
|
|
|
|
This section provides a quick introduction to the [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com),
|
|
including how to create an account.
|
|
|
|
The [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com) is a centralized resource for working with
|
|
Docker and its components. Docker Hub helps you collaborate with colleagues and get the
|
|
most out of Docker. To do this, it provides services such as:
|
|
|
|
* Docker image hosting.
|
|
* User authentication.
|
|
* Automated image builds and work-flow tools such as build triggers and web
|
|
hooks.
|
|
* Integration with GitHub and Bitbucket.
|
|
|
|
In order to use Docker Hub, you will first need to register and create an account. Don't
|
|
worry, creating an account is simple and free.
|
|
|
|
## Creating a Docker Hub account
|
|
|
|
There are two ways for you to register and create an account:
|
|
|
|
1. Via the web, or
|
|
2. Via the command line.
|
|
|
|
### Register via the web
|
|
|
|
Fill in the [sign-up form](https://hub.docker.com/account/signup/) by
|
|
choosing your user name and password and entering a valid email address. You can also
|
|
sign up for the Docker Weekly mailing list, which has lots of information about what's
|
|
going on in the world of Docker.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Register via the command line
|
|
|
|
You can also create a Docker Hub account via the command line with the
|
|
`docker login` command.
|
|
|
|
$ docker login
|
|
|
|
### Confirm your email
|
|
|
|
Once you've filled in the form, check your email for a welcome message asking for
|
|
confirmation so we can activate your account.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Login
|
|
|
|
After you complete the confirmation process, you can login using the web console:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Or via the command line with the `docker login` command:
|
|
|
|
$ docker login
|
|
|
|
Your Docker Hub account is now active and ready to use.
|
|
|
|
