Docker Registry

This image contains an implementation of the Docker Registry HTTP API V2 for use with Docker 1.6+. See github.com/docker/distribution for more details about what it is.

Run a local registry: Quick Version

$ docker run -d -p 5000:5000 --restart always --name registry registry:2

Now, use it from within Docker:

$ docker pull ubuntu
$ docker tag ubuntu localhost:5000/ubuntu
$ docker push localhost:5000/ubuntu

Recommended Reading

The documentation over at docs.docker.com is a good place to learn more about what the registry is, how it works, and how to use it.

Specifically, the section regarding deployment has pointers for more complex use cases than simply running a registry on localhost.

Support

If you are interested in commercial support, the Docker Trusted Registry provides an image registry, LDAP/Active Directory integration, security certificates, and more in a solution that includes commercial support.
