docker_hub_password

Description

The docker_hub_password parameter sets the Docker Hub authentication token for the rack. Must be used alongside docker_hub_username to enable authenticated Docker Hub pulls.

Default Value

Not set (anonymous Docker Hub access).

Use Cases

  • Avoid Rate Limits: Authenticated Docker Hub pulls have significantly higher rate limits than anonymous pulls.
  • Private Images: Access private Docker Hub repositories during builds and deployments.

Setting Parameters

Set both docker_hub_username and docker_hub_password together:

$ convox rack params set docker_hub_username=myuser docker_hub_password=dckr_pat_xxxxx -r rackName
Setting parameters... OK

Use a read-only access token generated from Docker Hub Account Settings rather than your account password.

Additional Information

See docker_hub_username for the companion parameter.
