# login
Usage: docker login [OPTIONS] [SERVER]
Register or log in to a Docker registry server, if no server is
specified "https://index.docker.io/v1/" is the default.
-e, --email="" Email
--help Print usage
-p, --password="" Password
-u, --username="" Username
If you want to login to a self-hosted registry you can specify this by
adding the server name.
example:
$ docker login localhost:8080
`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/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.
> **Note**: When running `sudo docker login` credentials are saved in `/root/.docker/config.json`.
