# 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:
1. connecting to a remote daemon, such as a `docker-machine` provisioned `docker engine`.
2. user is added to the `docker` group. This will impact the security of your system; the `docker` group is `root` equivalent. See [Docker Daemon Attack Surface](https://docs.docker.com/articles/security/#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.
