WARNING: Error loading config file: .dockercfg: $HOME is not defined #41890

Description

Description

We have a software which will call docker xxx in its code.

a) It's ok in the past
b) After upgrade docker to 20.10.1, it reports next:

WARNING: Error loading config file: .dockercfg: $HOME is not defined

NOTE: we don't have HOME set in our env. I wonder if it's a bug? What's the root cause?
Should I add export HOME=/root in our software to act as a workaround, or you will fix it in future release?

Steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Install 20.10.1
  2. unset HOME
  3. docker ps or any other docker command will show warning.

Describe the results you received:

# docker ps
WARNING: Error loading config file: .dockercfg: $HOME is not defined
CONTAINER ID   IMAGE     COMMAND   CREATED   STATUS    PORTS     NAMES

Describe the results you expected:

No warning.
