Add capability to authenticate with docker account when pulling images

[mag37]

How/where would you need the API-token? Like how is it used?

My understanding is that all you've got to do is to first login with docker login --username=yourUsername and then start pulling. But I might be wrong or maybe misunderstood the issue, have not needed to troubleshoot this myself.

(link to docker-commandline-login docs )

I would need some more info to be able to continue on this, know the actual issue / preferred outcome.

Yes I can just do that docker login --username=yourUsername

Maybe I was just looking for that capability to be added to the app BUT happy if you prefer to close this FR.

You could create yourself a function in your .bashrc or so.

Something like

function dchk {
  docker login --username YourUser
  /home/user/dockcheck.sh "$@"
}

Then you can run eg. dchk -yp -e nginx or whatever flags/arguments needed and it would first prompt your login.

Or if you'd like to not have to write the password, but read it from a file:

function dchk {
cat ~/pwd.txt | docker login --username YourUser --password-stdin
~/dockcheck.sh "$@"
}

Edit as necessary (paths, usernames etc).

Added this suggestion to the Readme, wont implement it to the actual script - closing.
