The docker login
command is used to authenticate with a Docker registry. It allows you to log in to a Docker registry to push and pull images.
To use the docker login
command, you can follow these steps:
-
Make sure you have Docker installed and running on your system.
-
Open a terminal or command prompt.
-
Run the
docker login
command followed by the address of the Docker registry:docker login {{registry-address}}
Replace
{{registry-address}}
with the address of the Docker registry you want to log in to. For example, if you are using Docker Hub, the registry address ishttps://hub.docker.com
. -
After running the
docker login
command, Docker will prompt you to enter your username and password for the Docker registry. Enter your credentials and press Enter.If you are using Docker Hub, you can use your Docker Hub username and password.
If you are using a different Docker registry, you may need to use different credentials specific to that registry.
-
If the login is successful, Docker will display a message indicating that you are now logged in to the Docker registry.
For example:
Login Succeeded
-
You can now push and pull images from the Docker registry you logged in to.
Please note that the docker login
command is required to authenticate with a Docker registry before you can push or pull images. It is necessary to have the appropriate credentials to log in to the registry you want to access.
