NAME

   docker-login - Log in to a registry

SYNOPSIS

   docker login [OPTIONS] [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 pub‐
   lic 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/engine/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.

EXAMPLES Login to a registry on your localhost

   # docker login localhost:8080
