Create a repository

  1. Sign in to Docker Hub.

  2. Select Repositories.

  3. Near the top-right corner, select Create repository.

  4. Select a Namespace.

  5. Specify the Repository Name.

    The repository name needs to:

    • Be unique
    • Have between 2 and 255 characters

    Note

    You can't rename a Docker Hub repository once it's created.

  6. Specify the Short description.

    The description can be up to 100 characters. It appears in search results.

  7. Select the default visibility.

    • Public: The repository appears in Docker Hub search results and can be pulled by everyone.
    • Private: The repository doesn't appear in Docker Hub search results and is only accessible to you and collaborators. In addition, if you selected an organization's namespace, then the repository is accessible to those with applicable roles or permissions. For more details, see Roles and permissions.

    For organizations creating a new repository, if you're unsure which visibility to choose, then Docker recommends that you select Private.
