Docker Hub Integration

🚧 Coming Soon — This integration is not yet available. Check back soon or join the waitlist to be notified when it launches.

Creddy’s Docker Hub integration creates scoped Personal Access Tokens for your AI agents. Tokens can be limited to specific repositories with read or write access.

How It Works

Requirements

Docker Hub account
Personal Access Token with “Read, Write, Delete” scope (for creating scoped tokens)

Installation


creddy plugin install dockerhub

Configuration

1. Create Admin Token

Log into hub.docker.com
Go to Account Settings → Security → Access Tokens
Create a token with “Read, Write, Delete” permissions
Save the token securely

2. Configure Creddy


creddy backend add dockerhub \
  --username "myuser" \
  --password "dckr_pat_..."

Or via API:


curl -X POST http://localhost:8400/v1/admin/backends \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "type": "dockerhub",
    "name": "dockerhub",
    "config": {
      "username": "myuser",
      "password": "dckr_pat_..."
    }
  }'

Agent Enrollment


creddy enroll --server http://creddy:8400 --name my-agent \
  --can dockerhub:myorg/myimage

Scopes

Scope	Description
`dockerhub:*`	Full access to all repositories
`dockerhub:<namespace>/*`	Access to all repos in a namespace
`dockerhub:<namespace>/<repo>`	Access to a specific repository
`dockerhub:<namespace>/<repo>:read`	Pull-only access
`dockerhub:<namespace>/<repo>:write`	Push and pull access (default)

Requesting Tokens


# Get a token
TOKEN=$(creddy get dockerhub)
 
# Use with Docker
echo $TOKEN | docker login -u myuser --password-stdin
 
# Repository-scoped token
TOKEN=$(creddy get dockerhub --scope "dockerhub:myorg/myimage")
 
# Read-only token (pull only)
TOKEN=$(creddy get dockerhub --scope "dockerhub:myorg/myimage:read")

Using in CI/CD


# GitHub Actions example
- name: Login to Docker Hub
  run: |
    TOKEN=$(creddy get dockerhub --scope "dockerhub:myorg/myimage")
    echo $TOKEN | docker login -u myuser --password-stdin
 
- name: Build and push
  run: |
    docker build -t myorg/myimage:latest .
    docker push myorg/myimage:latest

Using with Docker Compose


# Set credentials
export DOCKER_USERNAME=myuser
export DOCKER_PASSWORD=$(creddy get dockerhub)
 
# Use in compose
docker compose pull
docker compose up

Token Lifecycle

TTL Expiry

Tokens are automatically deleted when their TTL expires:


# Request a 1-hour token
creddy get dockerhub --ttl 1h
 
# After 1 hour, Creddy deletes the token from Docker Hub

Agent Unenroll

When an agent is unenrolled, all their Docker Hub tokens are immediately revoked.

Read vs Write Access

Scope Suffix	Docker Actions
`:read`	`docker pull` only
`:write` (or no suffix)	`docker pull`, `docker push`


# CI agent that only needs to pull
creddy enroll --server ... --name ci-runner \
  --can dockerhub:myorg/baseimage:read
 
# Build agent that pushes images
creddy enroll --server ... --name builder \
  --can dockerhub:myorg/*:write

Security Considerations

Use :read scopes for agents that don’t need to push
Scope tokens to specific repositories when possible
Use short TTLs for CI/CD jobs
The admin token stored in Creddy can create any scoped token

Troubleshooting

Verify username and password are correct
Check the admin token hasn’t expired
Ensure the token has sufficient permissions

”Token creation failed”

You may have hit Docker Hub’s token limit
Verify your account is in good standing

Pull works but push fails

Check your scope includes write access (no :read suffix)
Verify the repository exists and you have push permissions
