NAME
containers-auth.json - syntax for the registry authentication file
DESCRIPTION
A credentials file stored at ${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/containers/auth.json in
json format used to authenticate against container image registries.
FORMAT
The auth.json file stores encrypted authentication information for the
user to container image registries. The file can have zero to many entries and
is created by a login command from a container tool such as podman login or
buildah login. Each entry includes the name of the registry and then an auth
token in the form of a base64 encoded string from the concatenation of the
username, a colon, and the password.
The following example shows the values found in auth.json after the user logged in to their accounts on quay.io and docker.io:
{
"auths": {
"docker.io": {
"auth": "erfi7sYi89234xJUqaqxgmzcnQ2rRFWM5aJX0EC="
},
"quay.io": {
"auth": "juQAqGmz5eR1ipzx8Evn6KGdw8fEa1w5MWczmgY="
}
}
}
An entry can be removed by using a logout command from a container
tool such as podman logout or buildah logout.
