Operation

This command is used with Forge Container services, which is now in Preview. Preview features are fully supported but remain under active development and may be subject to shorter deprecation windows.

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