When trying to use docker login in a non-interactive shell, it returns wrong error

[netoneko]

Same as #12959

How to reproduce: try to use docker login --username=right-username --email=right-email --password="". You will get an error inappropriate ioctl for device. It is possible to log in with an interactive shell.

Shell: bash.

Also having this in a jenkins build script.

Update: found a solution to my problem. TLDR: make sure the docker server and docker client both have access to the same io location exposed in the HOME environment variable.

@adamkdean are you sure it's needed on the server / daemon as well?

@theJeztah I'm having this issue again. It's definitely needed, but luckily, I see the guy above has posted a solution.
