Setting up the DockerHub Repository

Setting up the DockerHub repository

First, create a repository on DockerHub by following these steps:

1. Log in to DockerHub, then click on Repositories at the top.
2. Under Repositories, click the Create repository button:

3. In the Create repository window, set the repository name to sampleapp and change the repository visibility to Private.

4. Click the Create button. This will create the repository and redirect you back to the repositories list. Note the Docker push command. It should look like: docker push <YOUR_ACCOUNT_NAME>/sampleapp:tagname

Now you will need to generate the access token to enable the workflow to authenticate to DockerHub. To create the access token:

1. Click on your username in the top-right corner of the Docker Hub site.
2. From the dropdown menu, select My Account, and then click the Security tab on the left:

3. Click the New Access Token button. This opens the New Access Token window, in which:

• Type ci-cd for the token name.
• Select Read, Write, Delete permissions and then click the Generate button.

4. A Copy Access Token window appears. Ensure you copy and safely store the generated access token.
