# Deploying a registry server
This section explains how to deploy a Docker Registry either privately
for your own company or publicly for other users. For example, your company may
require a private registry to support your continuous integration (CI) system as
it builds new releases or test servers. Alternatively, your company may have a
large number of products or services with images you wish to serve in a branded
manner.
You obviously need to [install Docker](https://docs.docker.com/installation/) (remember you need at Docker version 1.6.0 or newer).
Docker's public registry maintains a default `registry` image to assist you in the
deployment process. This registry image is sufficient for running local tests
but is insufficient for production. For production you should configure and
build your own custom registry image from the `docker/distribution` code.
## Getting started in 2 lines
>**Note**: The examples on this page were written and tested using Ubuntu 14.04.
>If you are running Docker in a different OS, you may need to "translate"
>the commands to meet the requirements of your own environment.
Create a folder for your registry data:
$ mkdir registry-data
Start your registry:
$ docker run -d -p 5000:5000 -v `pwd`/registry-data:/tmp/registry-dev --restart=always --name registry registry:2
That's it.
You can now tag an image and push it:
$ docker tag ubuntu localhost:5000/batman/ubuntu
$ docker push localhost:5000/batman/ubuntu
Then pull it:
$ docker pull localhost:5000/batman/ubuntu
## Simple example with the official image
## Making your Registry available
In this section, you create a container running Docker's official registry
image. You push an image to, and then pull the same image from, this registry.
This a good exercise for understanding the basic interactions a client has with
a local registry.
Now that your registry works on localhost, you probably want to make it available as well to other hosts.
1. Install Docker.
Let assume your registry is accessible via the domain name `myregistrydomain.com` (still on port `5000`).
2. Run the `hello-world` image from the Docker public registry.
If you try to `docker pull myregistrydomain.com:5000/batman/ubuntu`, you will see the following error message:
$ docker run hello-world
The `run` command automatically pulls a `hello-world` image from Docker's
official images.
3. Start a registry on your localhost.
$ docker run -p 5000:5000 registry:2.0
This starts a registry on your `DOCKER_HOST` running on port `5000`.
3. List your images.
$ docker images
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED VIRTUAL SIZE
registry 2.0 bbf0b6ffe923 3 days ago 545.1 MB
golang 1.4 121a93c90463 5 days ago 514.9 MB
hello-world latest e45a5af57b00 3 months ago 910 B
Your list should include a `hello-world` image from the earlier run.
4. Retag the `hello-world` image for your local repoistory.
$ docker tag hello-world:latest localhost:5000/hello-mine:latest
The command labels a `hello-world:latest` using a new tag in the
`[REGISTRYHOST/]NAME[:TAG]` format. The `REGISTRYHOST` is this case is
`localhost`. In a Mac OSX environment, you'd substitute `$(boot2docker
ip):5000` for the `localhost`.
5. List your new image.
$ docker images
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED VIRTUAL SIZE
registry 2.0 bbf0b6ffe923 3 days ago 545.1 MB
golang 1.4 121a93c90463 5 days ago 514.9 MB
hello-world latest e45a5af57b00 3 months ago 910 B
localhost:5000/hello-mine latest ef5a5gf57b01 3 months ago 910 B
You should see your new image in your listing.
6. Push this new image to your local registry.
$ docker push localhost:5000/hello-mine:latest
The push refers to a repository [localhost:5000/hello-mine] (len: 1)
e45a5af57b00: Image already exists
31cbccb51277: Image successfully pushed
511136ea3c5a: Image already exists
Digest: sha256:a1b13bc01783882434593119198938b9b9ef2bd32a0a246f16ac99b01383ef7a
7. Use the `curl` command and the Docker Registry API v2 to list your
image in the registry:
$ curl -v -X GET http://localhost:5000/v2/hello-mine/tags/list
* Hostname was NOT found in DNS cache
* Trying 127.0.0.1...
* Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 5000 (#0)
> GET /v2/hello-mine/tags/list HTTP/1.1
> User-Agent: curl/7.35.0
> Host: localhost:5000
> Accept: */*
>
< HTTP/1.1 200 OK
< Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
< Docker-Distribution-Api-Version: registry/2.0
< Date: Sun, 12 Apr 2015 01:29:47 GMT
< Content-Length: 40
<
{"name":"hello-mine","tags":["latest"]}
* Connection #0 to host localhost left intact
You can also get this information by entering the
`http://localhost:5000/v2/hello-mine/tags/list` address in your browser.
8. Remove all the unused images from your local environment:
$ docker rmi -f $(docker images -q -a )
This command is for illustrative purposes; removing the image forces any `run`
to pull from a registry rather than a local cache. If you run `docker images`
after this you should not see any instance of `hello-world` or `hello-mine` in
your images list.
$ docker images
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED VIRTUAL SIZE
registry 2.0 bbf0b6ffe923 3 days ago 545.1 MB
golang 1.4 121a93c90463 5 days ago 514.9 MB
9. Try running `hello-mine`.
$ docker run hello-mine
Unable to find image 'hello-mine:latest' locally
Pulling repository hello-mine
FATA[0001] Error: image library/hello-mine:latest not found
The `run` command fails because your new image doesn't exist in the Docker public
registry.
10. Now, try running the image but specifying the image's registry:
$ docker run localhost:5000/hello-mine
If you run `docker images` after this you'll fine a `hello-mine` instance.
### Making Docker's official registry image production ready
Docker's official image is for simple tests or debugging. Its configuration is
unsuitable for most production instances. For example, any client with access to
the server's IP can push and pull images to it. See the next section for
information on making this image production ready.
## Understand production deployment
The Docker Registry 2.0 only accepts connections from a Docker client that is
version 1.6.0 or newer. This means, for example, if you are deploying in a
environment with 1.5.X clients you'll need to either upgrade them or deploy an
older version of the Docker Registry to support them. For information on how to
do this, see [Configure Nginx with a v1 and v2
registry](#configure-nginx-with-a-v1-and-v2-registry) on this page.
When deploying a registry for a production deployment you should consider these
key factors:
<table>
<tr>
<th align="left">
backend storage
</th>
<td>
Where should you store the images?
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th align="left">
access and/or authentication
</th>
<td>
Should users have full or controlled access? This can depend on whether
you are serving images to the public or internally to your company only.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th align="left">
debugging
</th>
<td>
When problems or issues arise, do you have the means of solving them. Logs
are useful as is reporting to see trends.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th align="left">
caching
</th>
<td>
Quickly retrieving images can be crucial if you are relying on images for
tests, builds, or other automated systems.
</td>
</tr>
</table>
You can configure your registry features to adjust for these factors. You do
this by specifying options on the command line or, more typically, by writing a
registry configuration file. The configuration file is in YAML format.
Docker's official repository image is preconfigured using the following
configuration file:
```yaml
version: 0.1
log:
level: debug

service: registry
environment: development

```
FATA[0000] Error response from daemon: v1 ping attempt failed with error: Get https://nonregistry:5000/v1/_ping: dial tcp: lookup nonregistry: no such host. If this private registry supports only HTTP or HTTPS with an unknown CA certificate, please add `--insecure-registry nonregistry:5000` to the daemon's arguments. In the case of HTTPS, if you have access to the registry's CA certificate, no need for the flag; simply place the CA certificate at /etc/docker/certs.d/nonregistry:5000/ca.crt
```
This configuration is very basic and you can see it would present some problems
in a production environment. For example, the `http` section details the configuration for
the HTTP server that hosts the registry. The server is not using even the most
minimal transport layer security (TLS). Let's configure that in the next section.
You basically have three different options to comply with docker security requirements here.
## Configure TLS on a registry server
### 1. buy a SSL certificate for your domain
In this section, you configure TLS on the server to enable communication through
the `https` protocol. Enabling TLS on the server is the minimum layer of
security recommended for running a registry behind a corporate firewall. One way
to do this is to build your own registry image.
This is the (highly) recommended solution.
### Download the source and generate certificates
You can buy a certificate for as cheap as 10$ a year (some registrars even offer certificates for free), and this will save you a lot of trouble.
1. [Download the registry
source](https://github.com/docker/distribution/releases/tag/v2.0.0).
Assuming you now have a `domain.crt` and `domain.key` inside a directory named `certs`:
Alternatively, use the `git clone` command if you are more comfortable with that.
```
# Stop your registry
docker stop registry && docker rm registry
2. Unpack the the downloaded package into a local directory.
# Start your registry with TLS enabled
docker run -d -p 5000:5000 \
-v `pwd`/registry-data:/tmp/registry-dev \
-v `pwd`/certs:/certs \
-e REGISTRY_HTTP_TLS_CERTIFICATE=/certs/domain.crt \
-e REGISTRY_HTTP_TLS_KEY=/certs/domain.key \
--restart=always --name registry \
registry:2
```
The package creates a `distribution` directory.
**Pros:**
3. Change to the root of the new `distribution` directory.
- best solution
- work without further ado (assuming you bought your certificate from a CA that is trusted by your operating system)
$ cd distribution
**Cons:**
4. Make a `certs` subdirectory.
$ mkdir certs
5. Use SSL to generate some self-signed certificates.
$ openssl req \
-newkey rsa:4096 -nodes -sha256 -keyout certs/domain.key \
-x509 -days 365 -out certs/domain.crt
This command prompts you for basic information it needs to create the certificates.
6. List the contents of the `certs` directory.
- ?
$ ls certs
domain.crt domain.key
### 2. instruct docker to trust your registry as insecure
When you build this container, the `certs` directory and its contents
automatically get copied also.
### Add TLS to the configuration
This basically tells Docker to entirely disregard security for your registry.
The `distribution` repo includes sample registry configurations in the `cmd`
subdirectory. In this section, you edit one of these configurations to add TLS
support.
1. Edit the `./cmd/registry/config.yml` file.
1. edit the file `/etc/default/docker` so that there is a line that reads: `DOCKER_OPTS="--insecure-registry myregistrydomain:5000"` (or add that to existing `DOCKER_OPTS`)
2. restart your Docker daemon: on ubuntu, this is usually `service docker stop && service docker start`
$ vi ./cmd/registry/config.yml
**Pros:**
2. Locate the `http` block.
- easy to configure
**Cons:**
- very insecure
- you have to configure every docker daemon that wants to access your registry
### 3. use a self-signed certificate and configure docker to trust it
http:
addr: :5000
secret: asecretforlocaldevelopment
debug:
addr: localhost:5001
Alternatively, you can generate your own certificate:
3. Add a `tls` block for the server's self-signed certificates:
```
mkdir -p certs && openssl req \
-newkey rsa:4096 -nodes -sha256 -keyout certs/domain.key \
-x509 -days 365 -out certs/domain.crt
```
http:
addr: :5000
secret: asecretforlocaldevelopment
debug:
addr: localhost:5001
tls:
certificate: /go/src/github.com/docker/distribution/certs/domain.crt
key: /go/src/github.com/docker/distribution/certs/domain.key
You provide the paths to the certificates in the container. If you want
two-way authentication across the layer, you can add an optional `clientcas`
section.
4. Save and close the file.
Be sure to use the name `myregistrydomain.com` as a CN.
### Build and run your registry image
Now go to solution 1 above and stop and restart your registry.
1. Build your registry image.
Then you have to instruct every docker daemon to trust that certificate. This is done by copying the `domain.crt` file to `/etc/docker/certs.d/myregistrydomain.com:5000/ca.crt`
$ docker build -t secure_registry .
2. Run your new image.
**Pros:**
$ docker run -p 5000:5000 secure_registry:latest
time="2015-04-12T03:06:18.616502588Z" level=info msg="endpoint local-8082 disabled, skipping" environment=development instance.id=bf33c9dc-2564-406b-97c3-6ee69dc20ec6 service=registry

2015/04/12 03:06:28 http: TLS handshake error from 172.17.42.1:44261: remote error: unknown certificate authority
Watch the messages at startup. You should see that `tls` is running.
3. Use `curl` to verify that you can connect over `https`.
- more secure than solution 2
$ curl -v https://localhost:5000
* Rebuilt URL to: https://localhost:5000/
* Hostname was NOT found in DNS cache
* Trying 127.0.0.1...
* Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 5000 (#0)

* CAfile: none
CApath: /etc/ssl/certs
* SSLv3, TLS handshake, Client hello (1):
* SSLv3, TLS handshake, Server hello (2):
* SSLv3, TLS handshake, CERT (11):
* SSLv3, TLS alert, Server hello (2):
* SSL certificate problem: self signed certificate
* Closing connection 0
curl: (60) SSL certificate problem: self signed certificate

## Configure Nginx with a v1 and v2 registry
**Cons:**
This sections describes how to use `docker-compose` to run a combined version
1 and version 2.0 registry behind an `nginx` proxy. The combined registry is
accessed at `localhost:5000`. If a `docker` client has a version less than 1.6,
Nginx will route its requests to the 1.0 registry. Requests from newer clients
will route to the 2.0 registry.
- you have to configure every docker daemon that wants to access your registry
This procedure uses the same `distribution` directory you created in the last
procedure. The directory includes an example `compose` configuration.
### Install Docker Compose
1. Open a new terminal on the host with your `distribution` directory.
## Using Compose
2. Get the `docker-compose` binary.
It's highly recommended to use Docker Compose to facilitate managing your Registry configuration.
$ sudo wget https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.1.0/docker-compose-`uname -s`-`uname -m` -O /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
Here is a simple `docker-compose.yml` that does setup your registry exactly as above, with TLS enabled.
This command installs the binary in the `/usr/local/bin` directory.
3. Add executable permissions to the binary.
```
registry:
restart: always
image: registry:2
ports:
- 5000:5000
environment:
REGISTRY_HTTP_TLS_CERTIFICATE: /certs/domain.crt
REGISTRY_HTTP_TLS_KEY: /certs/domain.key
REGISTRY_STORAGE_FILESYSTEM_ROOTDIRECTORY: /data
volumes:
- `pwd`/registry-data:/data
- `pwd`/certs:/certs
```
$ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
You can then start your registry with a simple
### Do some housekeeping
$ docker-compose up -d
1. Remove any previous images.
$ docker rmi -f $(docker images -q -a )
This step is a house keeping step. It prevents you from mistakenly picking up
an old image as you work through this example.
2. Edit the `distribution/cmd/registry/config.yml` file and remove the `tls` block.
If you worked through the previous example, you'll have a `tls` block.
4. Save any changes and close the file.
### Configure SSL
1. Change to the `distribution/contrib/compose/nginx` directory.
This directory contains configuration files for Nginx and both registries.
2. Use SSL to generate some self-signed certificates.
$ openssl req \
-newkey rsa:4096 -nodes -sha256 -keyout domain.key \
-x509 -days 365 -out domain.crt
This command prompts you for basic information it needs to create certificates.
3. Edit the `Dockerfile`and add the following lines.
COPY domain.crt /etc/nginx/domain.crt
COPY domain.key /etc/nginx/domain.key
When you are done, the file looks like the following.
FROM nginx:1.7
COPY nginx.conf /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
COPY registry.conf /etc/nginx/conf.d/registry.conf
COPY docker-registry.conf /etc/nginx/docker-registry.conf
COPY docker-registry-v2.conf /etc/nginx/docker-registry-v2.conf
COPY domain.crt /etc/nginx/domain.crt
COPY domain.key /etc/nginx/domain.key
4. Save and close the `Dockerfile` file.
5. Edit the `registry.conf` file and add the following configuration.
ssl on;
ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/domain.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/domain.key;
This is an `nginx` configuration file.
6. Save and close the `registry.conf` file.
### Build and run
1. Go up to the `distribution/contrib/compose` directory
This directory includes a single `docker-compose.yml` configuration.
nginx:
build: "nginx"
ports:
- "5000:5000"
links:
- registryv1:registryv1
- registryv2:registryv2
registryv1:
image: registry
ports:
- "5000"
registryv2:
build: "../../"
ports:
- "5000"
This configuration builds a new `nginx` image as specified by the
`nginx/Dockerfile` file. The 1.0 registry comes from Docker's official public
image. Finally, the registry 2.0 image is built from the
`distribution/Dockerfile` you've used previously.
2. Get a registry 1.0 image.
$ docker pull registry:0.9.1
The Compose configuration looks for this image locally. If you don't do this
step, later steps can fail.
3. Build `nginx`, the registry 2.0 image, and
$ docker-compose build
registryv1 uses an image, skipping
Building registryv2...

The commmand outputs its progress until it completes.
4. Start your configuration with compose.
$ docker-compose up

Recreating compose_nginx_1...
Attaching to compose_registryv1_1, compose_registryv2_1, compose_nginx_1

5. In another terminal, display the running configuration.
$ docker ps

### Explore a bit
1. Check for TLS on your `nginx` server.
$ curl -v https://localhost:5000
* Rebuilt URL to: https://localhost:5000/
* Hostname was NOT found in DNS cache
* Trying 127.0.0.1...
* Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 5000 (#0)
* successfully set certificate verify locations:
* CAfile: none
CApath: /etc/ssl/certs
* SSLv3, TLS handshake, Client hello (1):
* SSLv3, TLS handshake, Server hello (2):
* SSLv3, TLS handshake, CERT (11):
* SSLv3, TLS alert, Server hello (2):
* SSL certificate problem: self signed certificate
* Closing connection 0
curl: (60) SSL certificate problem: self signed certificate
More details here: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html
2. Tag the `v1` registry image.
$ docker tag registry:latest localhost:5000/registry_one:latest
2. Push it to the localhost.
$ docker push localhost:5000/registry_one:latest
If you are using the 1.6 Docker client, this pushes the image the `v2 `registry.
4. Use `curl` to list the image in the registry.
$ curl -v -X GET http://localhost:32777/v2/registry_one/tags/list
* Hostname was NOT found in DNS cache
* Trying 127.0.0.1...
* Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 32777 (#0)

This example refers to the specific port assigned to the 2.0 registry. You saw
this port earlier, when you used `docker ps` to show your running containers.
