Password Handling

$ docker login -u "$CI_REGISTRY_USER" -p "$CI_REGISTRY_PASSWORD" $CI_REGISTRY
WARNING! Using --password via the CLI is insecure. Use --password-stdin.
WARNING! Your password will be stored unencrypted in /root/.docker/config.json.
Configure a credential helper to remove this warning. See
https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/login/#credentials-store

• fixx this with echo $CI_DEPLOY_PASSWORD | docker login -u $CI_DEPLOY_USER --password-stdin registry.gitlab.com - see https://stackoverflow.com/a/53415082/271118

• this does not seem to work!
