Private Registry Setup
Docker Compose
services:
registry:
image: registry:2
ports:
- "5000:5000"
volumes:
- registry_data:/var/lib/registry
- ./auth:/auth
- ./certs:/certs
environment:
REGISTRY_AUTH: htpasswd
REGISTRY_AUTH_HTPASSWD_REALM: Registry Realm
REGISTRY_AUTH_HTPASSWD_PATH: /auth/htpasswd
REGISTRY_HTTP_TLS_CERTIFICATE: /certs/domain.crt
REGISTRY_HTTP_TLS_KEY: /certs/domain.key
restart: unless-stopped
volumes:
registry_data:
Create Auth File
# Create htpasswd file
docker run --rm --entrypoint htpasswd \
httpd:alpine -Bbn admin password > auth/htpasswd
Registry Operations
Login
# Docker Hub
docker login
# GitHub Container Registry
echo $GITHUB_TOKEN | docker login ghcr.io -u USERNAME --password-stdin
# AWS ECR
aws ecr get-login-password | docker login --username AWS --password-stdin <account>.dkr.ecr.<region>.amazonaws.com
# Private registry
docker login registry.example.com
Push/Pull
# Tag for registry
docker tag myapp:latest registry.example.com/myapp:latest
# Push
docker push registry.example.com/myapp:latest
# Pull
docker pull registry.example.com/myapp:latest
Image Management
# List images in registry (API)
curl -X GET https://registry.example.com/v2/_catalog
# List tags
curl -X GET https://registry.example.com/v2/myapp/tags/list
# Delete image (via API)
curl -X DELETE https://registry.example.com/v2/myapp/manifests/<digest>
Multi-Registry Sync
# Copy between registries
skopeo copy \
docker://source-registry/image:tag \
docker://dest-registry/image:tag
# Sync all tags
skopeo sync --src docker --dest docker \
source-registry/image dest-registry/
Cloud Registry Setup
AWS ECR
# Create repository
aws ecr create-repository --repository-name myapp
# Login
aws ecr get-login-password --region us-east-1 | \
docker login --username AWS --password-stdin <account>.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com
# Push
docker push <account>.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/myapp:latest
Google GCR
# Auth with service account
gcloud auth configure-docker
# Push
docker push gcr.io/project-id/myapp:latest
Error Handling
Common Errors
| Error | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
unauthorized |
Bad credentials | Re-login |
manifest unknown |
Image not found | Check name/tag |
denied: access |
No permission | Check IAM/roles |
TLS handshake |
Certificate issue | Add to trusted certs |
Fallback Strategy
- Verify credentials:
docker login - Check image exists in registry
- Verify network connectivity
Troubleshooting
Debug Checklist
- Logged in?
docker login - Image tagged correctly?
- Registry accessible?
curl https://registry/v2/ - TLS configured? Check certificates
