# ADR: Docker Credential Helper Setup
|
||||
|
||||
## Status
|
||||
|
||||
Accepted

|
||||
## Context
|
||||
Docker credentials for `git.lilastudy.com` and `dhi.io` were stored as
|
||||
base64-encoded strings in `~/.docker/config.json` on both the dev laptop
|
||||
and the VPS. Base64 is not encryption — anyone with read access to the
|
||||
file can decode the credentials instantly.

## Options considered

|

### Option A — `pass` (GPG-backed) ✅
|
||||
Stores credentials encrypted with a GPG key. Works on headless servers
|

and desktops without GNOME. Industry standard for Linux servers.

### Option B — `secretservice` (GNOME keyring)
|

Uses the desktop keyring daemon. Not suitable for a headless VPS, and

## Consequences
|

|

- Credentials are now GPG-encrypted at rest on both machines

- Requires GPG passphrase entry when Docker needs to pull credentials

in a new session

```bash
|
||||
sudo apt-get install -y pass gnupg2 golang-docker-credential-helpers
|
||||
```
|

```bash
|

gpg --list-secret-keys --keyid-format LONG
