Add support for registry authentication
Problem
I was having issues with the cert chain, so I followed what is on this thread for docker-osx: https://github.com/dotcloud/docker/issues/3683 . I'm able to do a docker login just fine using a new binary on mac os x. However when using fig and having the Dockerfile pull from the same private registry I get the following error using fig build: Step 1 : FROM ssl-repo.com/image Pulling repository ssl-repo.com/image Error: Authentication is required. Does fig read the .dockercfg? Any other ideas on what the issue could be here?

1 Fix
Enable Docker Registry Authentication for Fig Builds
The error occurs because Fig (now known as Docker Compose) does not automatically read the .dockercfg file for authentication when pulling images from a private registry. This can lead to authentication failures during the image pull process, even if 'docker login' was successful.

- 1
Update Docker Configuration
Ensure that your Docker configuration is set up to use the correct authentication method. Check if your Docker configuration file (.docker/config.json) contains the necessary credentials for your private registry.
bashcat ~/.docker/config.json - 2
Use Docker Compose with Correct Environment Variables
When running Fig (Docker Compose), ensure that the environment variables for the Docker registry are set correctly. This includes setting the DOCKER_CONFIG environment variable to point to the directory containing your .docker/config.json.
bashexport DOCKER_CONFIG=~/.docker - 3
Verify Docker Compose Version
Ensure you are using a compatible version of Docker Compose that supports registry authentication. Update to the latest version if necessary.
bashdocker-compose --version - 4
Rebuild the Docker Image
After confirming the above configurations, attempt to rebuild your Docker image using Docker Compose to see if the authentication issue is resolved.
bashdocker-compose build - 5
Check for Additional Errors
If the issue persists, check for any additional error messages in the output. This may provide further insight into what might be misconfigured.
bashdocker-compose logs
Validation
To confirm the fix worked, run 'docker-compose build' again and ensure that the image pulls successfully from the private registry without any authentication errors. Additionally, check the logs for any warnings or errors related to authentication.
