community.docker.docker_login – Log into a Docker registry.

Note

This plugin is part of the community.docker collection (version 1.1.0).

To install it use: ansible-galaxy collection install community.docker.

To use it in a playbook, specify: community.docker.docker_login.


Synopsis

  • Provides functionality similar to the “docker login” command.
  • Authenticate with a docker registry and add the credentials to your local Docker config file respectively the credentials store associated to the registry. Adding the credentials to the config files resp. the credential store allows future connections to the registry using tools such as Ansible’s Docker modules, the Docker CLI and Docker SDK for Python without needing to provide credentials.
  • Running in check mode will perform the authentication without updating the config file.

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

  • Docker API >= 1.20
  • Docker SDK for Python: Please note that the docker-py Python module has been superseded by docker (see here for details). For Python 2.6, docker-py must be used. Otherwise, it is recommended to install the docker Python module. Note that both modules should not be installed at the same time. Also note that when both modules are installed and one of them is uninstalled, the other might no longer function and a reinstall of it is required.
  • Docker SDK for Python >= 1.8.0 (use docker-py for Python 2.6)
  • L(Python bindings for docker credentials store API) >= 0.2.1 (use docker-pycreds when using Docker SDK for Python < 4.0.0)

Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments

api_version

string

Default:

"auto"

The version of the Docker API running on the Docker Host.

Defaults to the latest version of the API supported by Docker SDK for Python and the docker daemon.

If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable DOCKER_API_VERSION will be used instead. If the environment variable is not set, the default value will be used.


aliases: docker_api_version

ca_cert

path

Use a CA certificate when performing server verification by providing the path to a CA certificate file.

If the value is not specified in the task and the environment variable DOCKER_CERT_PATH is set, the file ca.pem from the directory specified in the environment variable DOCKER_CERT_PATH will be used.


aliases: tls_ca_cert, cacert_path

client_cert

path

Path to the client's TLS certificate file.

If the value is not specified in the task and the environment variable DOCKER_CERT_PATH is set, the file cert.pem from the directory specified in the environment variable DOCKER_CERT_PATH will be used.


aliases: tls_client_cert, cert_path

client_key

path

Path to the client's TLS key file.

If the value is not specified in the task and the environment variable DOCKER_CERT_PATH is set, the file key.pem from the directory specified in the environment variable DOCKER_CERT_PATH will be used.


aliases: tls_client_key, key_path

config_path

path

Default:

"~/.docker/config.json"

Custom path to the Docker CLI configuration file.


aliases: dockercfg_path

debug

boolean

  • no

  • yes

Debug mode

docker_host

string

Default:

"unix://var/run/docker.sock"

The URL or Unix socket path used to connect to the Docker API. To connect to a remote host, provide the TCP connection string. For example, tcp://192.0.2.23:2376. If TLS is used to encrypt the connection, the module will automatically replace tcp in the connection URL with https.

If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable DOCKER_HOST will be used instead. If the environment variable is not set, the default value will be used.


aliases: docker_url

email

string

Does nothing, do not use.

Will be removed in community.docker 2.0.0.

password

string

The plaintext password for the registry account.

Required when state is present.

reauthorize

boolean

  • no

  • yes

Refresh existing authentication found in the configuration file.


aliases: reauth

registry_url

string

Default:

The registry URL.


aliases: registry, url

ssl_version

string

Provide a valid SSL version number. Default value determined by ssl.py module.

If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable DOCKER_SSL_VERSION will be used instead.

state

string

  • present

  • absent

This controls the current state of the user. present will login in a user, absent will log them out.

To logout you only need the registry server, which defaults to DockerHub.

Before 2.1 you could ONLY log in.

Docker does not support 'logout' with a custom config file.

timeout

integer

Default:

60

The maximum amount of time in seconds to wait on a response from the API.

If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable DOCKER_TIMEOUT will be used instead. If the environment variable is not set, the default value will be used.

tls

boolean

  • no

  • yes

Secure the connection to the API by using TLS without verifying the authenticity of the Docker host server. Note that if validate_certs is set to yes as well, it will take precedence.

If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable DOCKER_TLS will be used instead. If the environment variable is not set, the default value will be used.

tls_hostname

string

Default:

"localhost"

When verifying the authenticity of the Docker Host server, provide the expected name of the server.

If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable DOCKER_TLS_HOSTNAME will be used instead. If the environment variable is not set, the default value will be used.

username

string

The username for the registry account.

Required when state is present.

validate_certs

boolean

  • no

  • yes

Secure the connection to the API by using TLS and verifying the authenticity of the Docker host server.

If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY will be used instead. If the environment variable is not set, the default value will be used.


aliases: tls_verify



Notes

Note

  • Connect to the Docker daemon by providing parameters with each task or by defining environment variables. You can define DOCKER_HOST, DOCKER_TLS_HOSTNAME, DOCKER_API_VERSION, DOCKER_CERT_PATH, DOCKER_SSL_VERSION, DOCKER_TLS, DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY and DOCKER_TIMEOUT. If you are using docker machine, run the script shipped with the product that sets up the environment. It will set these variables for you. See https://docs.docker.com/machine/reference/env/ for more details.
  • When connecting to Docker daemon with TLS, you might need to install additional Python packages. For the Docker SDK for Python, version 2.4 or newer, this can be done by installing docker[tls] with ansible.builtin.pip.
  • Note that the Docker SDK for Python only allows to specify the path to the Docker configuration for very few functions. In general, it will use $HOME/.docker/config.json if the DOCKER_CONFIG environment variable is not specified, and use $DOCKER_CONFIG/config.json otherwise.
  • This module uses the Docker SDK for Python to communicate with the Docker daemon.
