buildah-login - Login to a container registry
buildah login [options] registry
buildah login logs into a specified registry server with the correct username and password. buildah login reads in the username and password from STDIN. The username and password can also be set using the username and password flags. The path of the authentication file can be specified by the user by setting the authfile flag. The default path used is ${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/containers/auth.json. If XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is not set, the default is /run/containers/$UID/auth.json.

Note: You can also override the default path of the authentication file by setting the REGISTRY_AUTH_FILE environment variable. export REGISTRY_AUTH_FILE=path

TLS verification cannot be used when talking to an insecure registry.
