DockerHub
To authenticate against DockerHub it's strongly recommended to create a personal access token as an alternative to your password.
name: ci
on:
push:
branches: master
jobs:
login:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
-
name: Login to DockerHub
uses: docker/login-action@v1
with:
username: ${{ secrets.DOCKERHUB_USERNAME }}
password: ${{ secrets.DOCKERHUB_TOKEN }}
GitHub Packages Docker Registry
You can configure the Docker client to use GitHub Packages to publish and retrieve docker images.
name: ci
on:
push:
branches: master
jobs:
login:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
-
name: Login to GitHub Packages Docker Registry
uses: docker/login-action@v1
with:
registry: docker.pkg.github.com
username: ${{ github.repository_owner }}
password: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
GitHub Container Registry
To authenticate against the GitHub Container Registry, you will need to create a new personal access token (PAT) with the appropriate scopes.
name: ci
on:
push:
branches: master
jobs:
login:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
-
name: Login to GitHub Container Registry
uses: docker/login-action@v1
with:
registry: ghcr.io
username: ${{ github.repository_owner }}
password: ${{ secrets.CR_PAT }}
GitLab
name: ci
on:
push:
branches: master

runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
-
name: Login to GitLab
uses: docker/login-action@v1
with:
registry: registry.gitlab.com
username: ${{ secrets.GITLAB_USERNAME }}
password: ${{ secrets.GITLAB_PASSWORD }}
Azure Container Registry (ACR)
Create a service principal with access to your container registry through the Azure CLI and take note of the generated service principal's ID (also called client ID) and password (also called client secret).
name: ci
on:
push:
branches: master
jobs:
login:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
-
name: Login to ACR
uses: docker/login-action@v1
with:
registry: <registry-name>.azurecr.io
username: ${{ secrets.AZURE_CLIENT_ID }}
password: ${{ secrets.AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET }}
Replace
<registry-name>with the name of your registry.
Google Container Registry (GCR)
Use a service account with the ability to push to GCR and configure access control.
Then create and download the JSON key for this service account and save content of .json file
as a secret
called GCR_JSON_KEY in your GitHub repo. Ensure you set the username to _json_key.
name: ci
on:
push:
branches: master
jobs:
login:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
-
name: Login to GCR
uses: docker/login-action@v1
with:
registry: gcr.io
username: _json_key
password: ${{ secrets.GCR_JSON_KEY }}
AWS Elastic Container Registry (ECR)
Use an IAM user with the ability to push to ECR.
Then create and download access keys and save AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY as secrets
in your GitHub repo.
name: ci
on:
push:
branches: master
jobs:
login:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
-
name: Login to ECR
uses: docker/login-action@v1
with:
registry: <aws-account-number>.dkr.ecr.<region>.amazonaws.com
username: ${{ secrets.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID }}
password: ${{ secrets.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY }}
Replace
<aws-account-number>and<region>with their respective values.
