Operation

This command is used with Forge Containers, which is currently available under Forge's Early Access Program (EAP). EAPs are offered to selected users for testing and feedback purposes.

APIs and features under EAP are:

  • Unsupported and subject to change without notice
  • Not recommended for use in production environments

Use forge containers docker-login to retrieve a temporary API token, which can be used for authenticating with the Forge Containers registry (namely, forge-ecr.services.atlassian.com).

You can use this token specifically for authenticating a locally installed docker CLI; if you use a different image management tool, use forge containers get-login instead.

The forge containers docker-login command must be run in the app's root folder (that is, where the manifest file is located).

For a complete list of forge containers subcommands, refer to the command's reference.

Login session

The API token provided by forge containers docker-login authenticates a login session that:

  • Is app-specific
  • Expires after 12 hours
  • Becomes invalid once the app is updated
