Authentication file
-------------------
The authentication is stored in a json file, ``.dockercfg`` located in your
home directory. It supports multiple registry urls.
``docker login`` will create the "https://index.docker.io/v1/" key.
``docker login https://my-registry.com`` will create the "https://my-registry.com" key.
For example:
.. code-block:: json
{
"https://index.docker.io/v1/": {
"auth": "xXxXxXxXxXx=",
"email": "email@example.com"
},
"https://my-registry.com": {
"auth": "XxXxXxXxXxX=",
"email": "email@my-registry.com"
}
}
The ``auth`` field represents ``base64(<username>:<password>)``
