Set up your subscription

Docker subscriptions provide features and benefits for individual developers, teams, and enterprise businesses. This page explains how to set up subscriptions for personal accounts and organizations.

Before you begin, make sure you have a Docker ID. To learn more about what's included in each tier, see Docker Pricing.

Set up a Docker subscription for a personal account

When you create your Docker ID, you automatically get a Docker Personal subscription. This subscription includes essential Docker tools at no cost. If you want to continue with Docker Personal, no further action is needed. You can start using Docker Desktop, Docker Hub, and other tools immediately.

If you need additional features like Docker Build Cloud minutes and more Docker Scout repositories, see Upgrade your subscription.

Set up a Docker subscription for an organization

You can subscribe a new or existing organization to Docker Team or Business subscriptions. Only organization owners can manage billing for the organization.

1. Create your Docker ID if you don't already have one.
2. Create your organization or use an existing organization you own.
3. Select Billing to view your current plans, then select Browse products.
4. From the products catalog page, select View plans from the Docker tile. Choose a Docker Team or Business subscription for the organization.
5. Fill in plan entitlements, verify your billing details, then continue to payment to complete checkout.

Set up Docker Hardened Images Select for an organization

Docker Hardened Images (DHI) Select lets organization admins assign DHI repositories to organization accounts. When you add repositories for your organization, all members gain access to those DHI repositories. Members you add to the organization after setup inherit the same access.

To purchase hardened repositories with DHI Select:

1. Sign in to Docker Home and select your organization.
2. Select Billing, then Browse products.
3. Select Hardened Images from the products page.
4. Choose the organization account that should receive the DHI repository, then Continue. You can add repositories for one account at a time.
5. Select how many repositories the account can mirror.
6. Verify your billing details, continue to payment, and complete checkout.

Tip
