Add hub.docker credentials

[snoopy86]

Add option to set hub.docker credentials to be used when pooling images. 

 

Based on the latest news they will begin rate-limiting the number of pull requests.

Agree with the feature request, but I don't think it will impact many users, yet.

Rate limit kicks in at 100 pulls in a 6 hour period, however I could see a future where they would require all users to authenticate to pull images.

 

If anyone hits this in the meantime, should be easy to setup a docker login script to run on array start.

I hit this limit yesterday in part because I had my "pre-unraid" Docker Server running and also had watchtower running  and was perhaps a little blase-fair with how I had configured things to update.

 

10 containers checking every 5 minutes for updates = 120/hr.

 

I suspect that if people have updates checks setup aggressively that it may impact more people than we think.

Just a tad    Maximum update check rate that Unraid supports is every 6 hours, so it would take 50 containers installed all with an update available and installed to any normal user to hit the threshold.  But, that's not to say that easily supporting login credentials for dockerHub isn't being investigated.

docker login sets the credentials for v1 API.  IE: it only takes effect on actual usage from the command line.  Unraid uses the v2 API.  Unraid 6.9 beta30+ supports credentials on v2 via scripting to change two lines of code.

@Squid do you have a sample script for adding dockerhub credentials ?

Or is this making its way to the GUI anytime soon ?
