DockerHub Account Management
The Operations Engineering team manages the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) DockerHub account, which includes the administration of user licenses for Docker Desktop.
Overview of Tools
- Docker Desktop: This is a desktop application for managing and running Docker containers.
Note: A licensed Docker account is required to use Docker Desktop for MoJ-related tasks.
- DockerHub: DockerHub serves as a repository for Docker images.
License Requirements for Docker Accounts
A licensed Docker account is mandatory for any MoJ work involving Docker Desktop. Employees must be affiliated with the MoJ DockerHub organisation.
How to Register with MoJ DockerHub
The “ministryofjustice” DockerHub organisation is set to automatically include members who sign in using GitHub single-sign-on (SSO) with a digital.justice.gov.uk email. Follow these steps to register:
- Visit DockerHub and sign up using your digital.justice.gov.uk email.
- Follow the SSO authentication process linked to your GitHub account.
- Upon completion, you’ll be added to the ministryofjustice Docker organization.
Please use a name close to your actual name for easier identification during the Joiners, Movers, and Leavers Process (JML).
If you wish to use an existing DockerHub account, ensure it’s linked to your digital.justice.gov.uk email. The SSO process will integrate your existing account with the MoJ organization.
Reminder: Your GitHub account must use your digital.justice.gov.uk email as the primary email.
Logging In
To log in, access DockerHub via this link or through the Docker Desktop app. Choose ‘GitHub’ for SSO authentication.
