DIY Docker Registry

These are instructions and scripts to quickly get up and running your own docker registry, with SSL and basic auth out of the box. I feel like the documentation on this is a bit obscure, so I'm documenting it here because you should not trust Docker Hub to remain online when AWS goes offline.

Steps

1. Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/uav4geo/diy-docker-registry
cd diy-docker-registry

2. Setup a DNS A Record yourhost.com --> IP

3. Edit distribution/config.yml (replace yourhost.com with your DNS).

4. Create a htpasswd file by:

docker run --rm --entrypoint htpasswd httpd:2 -Bbn USERNAM_HERE PASSWORD_HERE > auth/htpasswd

5. Start the registry

./run.sh

(optional) Add Cron Job

By default the LetsEncrypt certificate will not auto-renew. You should add a cron job that runs docker restart registry every month.

Tips

You can use docker-reg-tool to manage images.
