NAME

       docker-login - Log in to a Docker 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
       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/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.
