I stored my credentials to access a private registry in the ~/.docker/config.json file. Therefore I can simply run docker login <url> without explicitely stating my credentials. Is there a way to replicate this behaviour using docker-py?
All I could find was this login method, which always requires a username. Using the cli all I need is the registry host name (and the ~/.docker/config.json file with the auth token to this registry).
Is that somehow achievable? T
Below is the login method and options available.
login()
Authenticate with a registry. Similar to the docker login command.
Parameters:
username (str) – The registry username
password (str) – The plaintext password
email (str) – The email for the registry account
registry (str) – URL to the registry. E.g. https://index.docker.io/v1/
reauth (bool) – Whether or not to refresh existing authentication on the Docker server.
dockercfg_path (str) – Use a custom path for the Docker config file (default $HOME/.docker/config.json if present, otherwise``$HOME/.dockercfg``)
And as per that, dockercfg_path, is present for the login method where you can use that file.
From experimenting, Though, that this username is ignored for the credentials saved in .docker/config.json, so I just use a random value and it is working.
