## Description
|
||||
|
||||
Log in to a registry.
|
||||
Authenticate to a registry.
|
||||
|
||||
## Examples
|
||||
You can authenticate to any public or private registry for which you have
|
||||
credentials. Authentication may be required for pulling and pushing images.
|
||||
Other commands, such as `docker scout` and `docker build`, may also require
|
||||
authentication to access subscription-only features or data related to your
|
||||
Docker organization.
|
||||
|
||||
### Login to a self-hosted registry
|
||||
Authentication credentials are stored in the configured [credential
|
||||
store](#credential-stores). If you use Docker Desktop, credentials are
|
||||
automatically saved to the native keychain of your operating system. If you're
|
||||
not using Docker Desktop, you can configure the credential store in the Docker
|
||||
configuration file, which is located at `$HOME/.docker/config.json` on Linux or
|
||||
`%USERPROFILE%/.docker/config.json` on Windows. If you don't configure a
|
||||
credential store, Docker stores credentials in the `config.json` file in a
|
||||
base64-encoded format. This method is less secure than configuring and using a
|
||||
credential store.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to log in to a self-hosted registry you can specify this by
|
||||
adding the server name.
|
||||
`docker login` also supports [credential helpers](#credential-helpers) to help
|
||||
you handle credentials for specific registries.
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ docker login localhost:8080
|
||||
```
|
||||
### Authentication methods
|
||||
|
||||
### <a name="password-stdin"></a> Provide a password using STDIN (--password-stdin)
|
||||
|
||||
To run the `docker login` command non-interactively, you can set the
|
||||
`--password-stdin` flag to provide a password through `STDIN`. Using
|
||||
`STDIN` prevents the password from ending up in the shell's history,
|
||||
or log-files.
|
||||
|
||||
The following example reads a password from a file, and passes it to the
|
||||
`docker login` command using `STDIN`:
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ cat ~/my_password.txt | docker login --username foo --password-stdin
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Privileged user requirement
|
||||
|
||||
`docker login` requires you to use `sudo` or be `root`, except when:
|
||||
|
||||
- Connecting to a remote daemon, such as a `docker-machine` provisioned `docker engine`.
|
||||
- The 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/engine/security/#docker-daemon-attack-surface) for details.
|
||||
|
||||
You can log in to any public or private repository for which you have
|
||||
credentials. When you log in, the command stores credentials in
|
||||
`$HOME/.docker/config.json` on Linux or `%USERPROFILE%/.docker/config.json` on
|
||||
Windows, via the procedure described below.
|
||||
You can authenticate to a registry using a username and access token or
|
||||
password. Docker Hub also supports a web-based sign-in flow, which signs you in
|
||||
to your Docker account without entering your password. For Docker Hub, the
|
||||
`docker login` command uses a device code flow by default, unless the
|
||||
`--username` flag is specified. The device code flow is a secure way to sign
|
||||
in. See [Authenticate to Docker Hub using device code](#authenticate-to-docker-hub-using-device-code).

#### Default behavior

By default, Docker looks for the native binary on each of the platforms, i.e.

"osxkeychain" on macOS, "wincred" on windows, and "pass" on Linux. A special

||||
case is that on Linux, Docker will fall back to the "secretservice" binary if
|
||||
it cannot find the "pass" binary. If none of these binaries are present, it
|
||||
stores the credentials (i.e. password) in base64 encoding in the config files

## Examples
|
||||
|
||||
### Authenticate to Docker Hub with web-based login
|
||||
|
||||
By default, the `docker login` command authenticates to Docker Hub, using a
|
||||
device code flow. This flow lets you authenticate to Docker Hub without
|
||||
entering your password. Instead, you visit a URL in your web browser, enter a
|
||||
code, and authenticate.
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ docker login
|
||||
|
||||
USING WEB BASED LOGIN
|
||||
To sign in with credentials on the command line, use 'docker login -u <username>'
|
||||
|
||||
Your one-time device confirmation code is: LNFR-PGCJ
|
||||
Press ENTER to open your browser or submit your device code here: https://login.docker.com/activate
|
||||
|
||||
Waiting for authentication in the browser…
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
After entering the code in your browser, you are authenticated to Docker Hub
|
||||
using the account you're currently signed in with on the Docker Hub website or
|
||||
in Docker Desktop. If you aren't signed in, you are prompted to sign in after
|
||||
entering the device code.
|
||||
|
||||
### Authenticate to a self-hosted registry
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to authenticate to a self-hosted registry you can specify this by
|
||||
adding the server name.
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ docker login registry.example.com
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
By default, the `docker login` command assumes that the registry listens on
|
||||
port 443 or 80. If the registry listens on a different port, you can specify it
|
||||
by adding the port number to the server name.
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ docker login registry.example.com:1337
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> [!NOTE]
|
||||
> Registry addresses should not include URL path components, only the hostname
|
||||
> and (optionally) the port. Registry addresses with URL path components may
|
||||
> result in an error. For example, `docker login registry.example.com/foo/`
|
||||
> is incorrect, while `docker login registry.example.com` is correct.
|
||||
>
|
||||
> The exception to this rule is the Docker Hub registry, which may use the
|
||||
> `/v1/` path component in the address for historical reasons.
|
||||
|
||||
### <a name="username"></a> Authenticate to a registry with a username and password
|
||||
|
||||
To authenticate to a registry with a username and password, you can use the
|
||||
`--username` or `-u` flag. The following example authenticates to Docker Hub
|
||||
with the username `moby`. The password is entered interactively.
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ docker login -u moby
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### <a name="password-stdin"></a> Provide a password using STDIN (--password-stdin)
|
||||
|
||||
To run the `docker login` command non-interactively, you can set the
|
||||
`--password-stdin` flag to provide a password through `STDIN`. Using
|
||||
`STDIN` prevents the password from ending up in the shell's history,
|
||||
or log-files.
|
||||
|
||||
The following example reads a password from a file, and passes it to the
|
||||
`docker login` command using `STDIN`:
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ cat ~/my_password.txt | docker login --username foo --password-stdin
|
||||
```
