Configure automated builds from GitHub and BitBucket

Note

Automated builds require a Docker Pro, Team, or Business subscription.

To automate building and testing of your images, you link to your hosted source code service to Docker Hub so that it can access your source code repositories. You can configure this link for user accounts or organizations.

If you are linking a source code provider to create autobuilds for a team, follow the instructions to create a service account for the team before linking the account as described below.

  1. Sign in to Docker Hub.

  2. Select My Account in the top-right drop-down navigation, then select the Linked Accounts tab.

  3. Select Link provider for the source provider you want to link.

    If you want to unlink your current GitHub account and relink to a new GitHub account, make sure to completely sign out of GitHub before linking via Docker Hub.

  4. Review the settings for the Docker Hub Builder OAuth application.

    Granting access to GitHub account

    Note

    If you are the owner of any GitHub organizations, you might see options to grant Docker Hub access to them from this screen. You can also individually edit an organization's third-party access settings to grant or revoke Docker Hub's access. See Grant access to a GitHub organization to learn more.

  5. Select Authorize docker to save the link.

Grant access to a GitHub organization

If you are the owner of a GitHub organization, you can grant or revoke Docker Hub's access to the organization's repositories. Depending on the GitHub organization's settings, you may need to be an organization owner.

If the organization has not had specific access granted or revoked before, you can often grant access at the same time as you link your user account. In this case, a Grant access button appears next to the organization name in the link accounts screen, as shown below. If this button does not appear, you must manually grant the application's access.

To manually grant Docker Hub access to a GitHub organization:

  1. Link your user account using the instructions above.

  2. From your GitHub Account settings, locate the Organization settings section at the lower left.

  3. Select the organization you want to give Docker Hub access to.

  4. Select Third-party access.

    The page displays a list of third party applications and their access status.

  5. Select the pencil icon next to Docker Hub Builder.

  6. Select Grant access next to the organization.

Revoke access to a GitHub organization

To revoke Docker Hub's access to an organization's GitHub repositories:

  1. From your GitHub Account settings, locate the Organization settings section at the lower left.

  2. Select the organization you want to revoke Docker Hub's access to.

  3. From the Organization Profile menu, select Third-party access. The page displays a list of third party applications and their access status.

  4. Select the pencil icon next to Docker Hub Builder.

  5. On the next page, select Deny access.

To revoke Docker Hub's access to your GitHub account, you must unlink it both from Docker Hub, and from your GitHub account.

  1. Select My Account in the top-right drop-down navigation, then open the Linked Accounts section.

  2. Select the plug icon next to the source provider you want to remove.

  3. Go to your GitHub account's Settings page.

  4. Select Applications in the left navigation bar.

  5. Select the ... menu to the right of the Docker Hub Builder application and select Revoke.

Note

Each repository that is configured as an automated build source contains a webhook that notifies Docker Hub of changes in the repository. This webhook is not automatically removed when you revoke access to a source code provider.

  1. Sign in to Docker Hub using your Docker ID.

  2. Select My Account in the top-right drop-down navigation, then select the Linked Accounts tab.

  3. Select Link provider for the source provider you want to link.

  4. If necessary, sign in to Bitbucket.

  5. On the page that appears, select Grant access.

To permanently revoke Docker Hub's access to your Bitbucket account, you must unlink it both from Docker Hub, and from your Bitbucket account.

  1. Sign in to Docker Hub.

  2. Select My Account in the top-right drop-down navigation, then open the Linked Accounts section.

  3. Select the Plug icon next to the source provider you want to remove.

  4. Go to your Bitbucket account and navigate to Bitbucket settings.

  5. On the page that appears, select OAuth.

  6. Select Revoke next to the Docker Hub line.

Each repository that is configured as an automated build source contains a webhook that notifies Docker Hub of changes in the repository. This webhook is not automatically removed when you revoke access to a source code provider.
