NAME
docker-login - Log in to a Docker registry.
SYNOPSIS
docker login [--help] [-p|--password[=PASSWORD]] [-u|--username[=USERNAME]] [SERVER]
DESCRIPTION
Log in to a Docker Registry located on the specified
SERVER. You can specify a URL or a hostname for the SERVER value. If you
do not specify a SERVER, the command uses Docker's public registry located at
https://registry-1.docker.io/ by default. To get a username/password for Docker's public registry, create an account on Docker Hub.
docker login requires user to use sudo or be root, except when:
- connecting to a remote daemon, such as a
docker-machineprovisioneddocker engine. - user is added to the
dockergroup. This will impact the security of your system; thedockergroup isrootequivalent. See Docker Daemon Attack Surface for details.
You can log into any public or private repository for which you have
credentials. When you log in, the command stores encoded credentials in
$HOME/.docker/config.json on Linux or %USERPROFILE%/.docker/config.json on Windows.
