NAME

skopeo-login - Login to a container registry.

SYNOPSIS

skopeo login [options] registry

DESCRIPTION

skopeo login logs into a specified registry server with the correct username and password. skopeo login reads in the username and password from STDIN. The username and password can also be set using the username and password flags. The path of the authentication file can be specified by the user by setting the authfile flag. The default path used is ${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/containers/auth.json.

OPTIONS

--password, -p=password

Password for registry

--password-stdin

Take the password from stdin

--username, -u=username

Username for registry

--authfile=path

Path of the authentication file. Default is ${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/containers/auth.json

Note: You can also override the default path of the authentication file by setting the REGISTRY_AUTH_FILE environment variable. export REGISTRY_AUTH_FILE=path

--get-login

Return the logged-in user for the registry. Return error if no login is found.

--cert-dir=path

Use certificates at path (*.crt, *.cert, *.key) to connect to the registry. Default certificates directory is /etc/containers/certs.d.

--tls-verify=true|false

Require HTTPS and verify certificates when contacting registries (default: true). If explicitly set to true, then TLS verification will be used. If set to false, then TLS verification will not be used. If not specified, TLS verification will be used unless the target registry is listed as an insecure registry in registries.conf.
