Docker Credentials Page

Some types of jobs and apps use Docker images. When a Docker image is private, Docker credentials must be provided for your Saagie platform to access the image.

What are Docker credentials?

Docker credentials are login information stored in projects to allow you to pull Docker images from private registries when creating apps.

Docker images are project specific and can only be used in the project they are added to. The same Docker credentials can be added to multiple projects.

Docker credentials are listed with little information, such as the credential type, name, and date the credentials were added. Click a credential to view more details, such as the credential type, your username and password, the connection status, whether your credentials are used or not, and the date they were added to your project.

If your credentials have been used, a searchable list of jobs and apps that use them is displayed.

  • If your Docker credentials are used, deleting them may cause problems for jobs or apps that use them.

  • Saagie does not receive any type of image list type accessible with your Docker credentials.
