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/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.

              # docker login localhost:8080
