docker: Log into a registry with username and password.
$ docker login --username ${username} --password ${password} ${server}
try on your machine

This command is a Docker CLI (Command Line Interface) command used to log in to a Docker registry or Docker Store.

Here is the breakdown of the command:

  • docker login: This is the main command that is used to log in to a Docker registry.

  • --username: This option is used to specify the username for the Docker registry.

  • ${username}: This is a placeholder that should be replaced with your actual username. It is usually an email or username provided by the Docker registry.

  • --password: This option is used to specify the password for the Docker registry.

  • ${password}: This is a placeholder that should be replaced with your actual password for the Docker registry.

  • ${server}: This is a placeholder for the Docker registry server, which is the URL or address of the Docker registry you want to log in to.

For example, if you were logging in to Docker Hub (the default Docker registry), you would replace ${username} with your Docker Hub username, ${password} with your Docker Hub password, and ${server} with https://index.docker.io/v1/.
