     6  
     7  # SYNOPSIS
     8  **docker login**
     9  [**-e**|**--email**[=*EMAIL*]]
    10  [**--help**]
    11  [**-p**|**--password**[=*PASSWORD*]]
    12  [**-u**|**--username**[=*USERNAME*]]
    13  [SERVER]
    14  
    15  # DESCRIPTION
    16  Register or log in to a Docker Registry located on the specified
    17  `SERVER`.  You can specify a URL or a `hostname` for the `SERVER` value. If you
    18  do not specify a `SERVER`, the command uses Docker's public registry located at
    19  `https://registry-1.docker.io/` by default.  To get a username/password for Docker's public registry, create an account on Docker Hub.
    20  
    21  You can log into any public or private repository for which you have
    22  credentials.  When you log in, the command stores encoded credentials in
    23  `$HOME/.dockercfg` on Linux or `%USERPROFILE%/.dockercfg` on Windows.
