|
You can `search` for Docker images and `pull` them from [Docker
|
|
Hub](https://hub.docker.com) without signing in or even having an account.
|
|
However, to `push` images, leave comments, or to *star* a repository, you need a
|
|
free [Docker ID](https://hub.docker.com) to log in to Docker Hub.
|
|
|
|
Once you have a personal Docker ID, you can also create or join
|
|
Docker Hub [Organizations and Teams](orgs.md).
|
|
|
|
## Register for a Docker ID
|
|
|
|
If you're not already logged in, go to [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com) to
|
|
use the sign up page. A valid email address is required to register. A
|
|
verification email is sent to this address to activate your account.
|
|
|
|
You cannot log in to your Docker ID until you verify the email address.
|
|
|
|
#### Confirm your email
|
|
|
|
Once you've filled in the registration form, check your email for a welcome
|
|
message asking for confirmation so we can activate your account.
|
|
|
|
## Login
|
|
|
|
After you complete the account creation process, you can log in any time using
|
|
the web console with your Docker ID:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Or via the command line with the `docker login` command:
|
|
|
|
$ docker login
|
|
|
|
Your Docker ID is now active and ready to use.
|
|
|
|
> **Note:**
|
|
> Your authentication credentials will be stored in the `.dockercfg`
|
|
> authentication file in your home directory.
|
|
|
|
### Upgrading your account
|
|
|
|
Free Hub accounts include one private registry. If you need more private
|
|
registries, you can [upgrade your
|
|
account](https://hub.docker.com/account/billing-plans/) to a paid plan directly
|
|
from the Hub.
|
|
|
|
## Password reset process
|
|
|
|
If you can't access your account for some reason, you can reset your password
|
|
from the [*Password Reset*](https://hub.docker.com/reset-password/)
|
|
page. |
