Distribution
============
The Docker toolset to pack, ship, store, and deliver content.
Planned content for this repository:
The main product of this repository is the new registry implementation for
storing and distributing docker images. It supersedes the [docker/docker-
registry](https://github.com/docker/docker-registry) project with a new API
design, focused around security and performance.
* Distribution related specifications
- Image format
- JSON registry API
* Registry implementation: a Golang implementation of the JSON API
* Client libraries to consume conforming implementations of the JSON API
The _Distribution_ project has the further long term goal of providing a
secure tool chain for distributing content. The specifications, APIs and tools
should be as useful with docker as they are without.
# Ongoing open sprint
This repository contains the following components:
### What is an open sprint?
The open sprint is a focused effort of a small group of people to kick-off a new project, while commiting to becoming maintainers of the resulting work.
**Having a dedicated team work on the subject doesn't mean that you, the community, cannot contribute!** We need your input to make the best use of the sprint, and focus our work on what matters for you. For this particular topic:
* Come discuss on IRC: #docker-distribution on FreeNode
* Come read and participate in the [Google Groups](https://groups.google.com/a/dockerproject.org/forum/#!forum/distribution)
* Submit your ideas, and upvote those you think matter the most on [Google Moderator](https://www.google.com/moderator/?authuser=1#16/e=2165c3)
### Goal of the distribution sprint
Design a professional grade and extensible content distribution system, that allow users to:
* Enjoy an efficient, secured and reliable way to store, manage, package and exchange content
* Hack/roll their own on top of healthy open-source components
* Implement their own home made solution through good specs, and solid extensions mechanism.
### Schedule and expected output
The Open Sprint will start on **Monday December 29th**, and end on **Friday January 16th**.
What we want to achieve as a result is:
* Tactical fixes of today's frustrations in the existing Docker codebase
- This includes a throrough review of [docker/docker#9784](https://github.com/docker/docker/pull/9784) by core maintainers
* Laying the base of a new distribution subsystem, living independently, and with a well defined group of maintainers. This is the purpose of this repository, which aims at hosting:
- A specification of the v2 image format
- A specification of the JSON/HTTP protocol
- Server-side Go implementation of the v2 registry
- Client-side Go packages to consume this new API
- Standalone binaries providing content distribution functionalities outside of Docker
* Constraints for interface provided by Distribution to Core:
- The distribution repository is a collection of tools for packaging and
shipping content with Docker
- All tools are usable primarily as standalone command-line tools. They may
also expose bindings in one or more programming languages. Typically the
first available language is Go, but that is not automatically true and more
languages will be supported over time
- The distribution repository is still under incubation, any code layout,
interface and name may change before it gets included in a stable release of
Docker
- **registry (beta):** An implementation of the [Docker Registry HTTP API
V2](doc/spec/api.md) for use with docker 1.5+.
- **libraries (unstable):** A rich set of libraries for interacting with
distribution components. Please see
[godoc](http://godoc.org/github.com/docker/distribution) for details. Note
that the libraries *are not* considered stable.
- **dist (experimental):** An experimental tool to provide distribution
oriented functionality without the docker daemon.
- **specifications**: _Distribution_ related specifications are available in
[doc/spec](doc/spec).
- **documentation:** Documentation is available in [doc](doc/overview.md).
### How will this integrate with Docker engine?
Building awesome, independent, and well maintained distribution tools should give Docker core maintainers enough incentive to switch to the newly develop subsystem. We make no assumptions on a given date or milestone as urgency should be fixed through [docker/docker#9784](https://github.com/docker/docker/pull/9784), and in order to maintain focus on producing a top quality alternative.
This project should provide an implementation to a V2 API for use in the
Docker core project. The API should be embeddable and simplify the process of
securely pulling and pushing content from docker daemons.
### Relevant documents
### What are the long term goals of the Distribution project?
* [Analysis of current state and goals](doc/opensprint/kickoff.md)
Design a professional grade and extensible content distribution system, that
allow users to:
* Enjoy an efficient, secured and reliable way to store, manage, package and
exchange content
* Hack/roll their own on top of healthy open-source components
* Implement their own home made solution through good specs, and solid
extensions mechanism.
Features
--------
The new registry implementation provides the following benefits:
- faster push and pull
- new, more efficient implementation
- simplified deployment
- pluggable storage backend
- webhook notifications
Installation
------------
**TODO(stevvooe):** Add the following here:
- docker file
- binary builds for non-docker environment (test installations, etc.)
Configuration
-------------
The registry server can be configured with a yaml file. The following is a
simple example that can used for local development:
```yaml
version: 0.1
loglevel: debug
storage:
filesystem:
rootdirectory: /tmp/registry-dev
http:
addr: localhost:5000
secret: asecretforlocaldevelopment
debug:
addr: localhost:5001
```
The above configures the registry instance to run on port 5000, binding to
"localhost", with the debug server enabled. Registry data will be stored in
"/tmp/registry-dev". Logging will be in "debug" mode, which is the most
verbose.
A similar simple configuration is available at [cmd/registry/config.yml],
which is generally useful for local development.
**TODO(stevvooe): Need a "best practice" configuration overview. Perhaps, we
can point to a documentation section.
For full details about configuring a registry server, please see [the
documentation](doc/configuration.md).
### Upgrading
**TODO:** Add a section about upgrading from V1 registry along with link to
migrating in documentation.
Build
-----
If a go development environment is setup, one can use `go get` to install the
`registry` command from the current latest:
```sh
go get github.com/docker/distribution/cmd/registry
```
The above will install the source repository into the `GOPATH`. The `registry`
binary can then be run with the following:
```
$ $GOPATH/bin/registry -version
$GOPATH/bin/registry github.com/docker/distribution v2.0.0-alpha.1+unknown
```
The registry can be run with the default config using the following
incantantation:
```
$ $GOPATH/bin/registry $GOPATH/src/github.com/docker/distribution/cmd/registry/config.yml
INFO[0000] endpoint local-8082 disabled, skipping app.id=34bbec38-a91a-494a-9a3f-b72f9010081f version=v2.0.0-alpha.1+unknown
INFO[0000] endpoint local-8083 disabled, skipping app.id=34bbec38-a91a-494a-9a3f-b72f9010081f version=v2.0.0-alpha.1+unknown
INFO[0000] listening on :5000 app.id=34bbec38-a91a-494a-9a3f-b72f9010081f version=v2.0.0-alpha.1+unknown
INFO[0000] debug server listening localhost:5001
```
If it is working, one should see the above log messages.
### Repeatable Builds
For the full development experience, one should `cd` into
`$GOPATH/src/github.com/docker/distribution`. From there, the regular `go`
commands, such as `go test`, should work per package (please see
[Developing](#developing) if they don't work).
A `Makefile` has been provided as a convenience to support repeatable builds.
Please install the following into `GOPATH` for it to work:
```
go get github.com/tools/godep github.com/golang/lint/golint
```
**TODO(stevvooe):** Add a `make setup` command to Makefile to run this. Have
to think about how to interact with Godeps properly.
Once these commands are available in the `GOPATH`, run `make` to get a full
build:
```
$ GOPATH=`godep path`:$GOPATH make
+ clean
+ fmt
+ vet
+ lint
+ build
github.com/docker/docker/vendor/src/code.google.com/p/go/src/pkg/archive/tar
github.com/Sirupsen/logrus
github.com/docker/libtrust
...
github.com/yvasiyarov/gorelic
github.com/docker/distribution/registry/handlers
github.com/docker/distribution/cmd/registry
+ test
...

+ /Users/sday/go/src/github.com/docker/distribution/bin/registry
+ /Users/sday/go/src/github.com/docker/distribution/bin/registry-api-descriptor-template
+ /Users/sday/go/src/github.com/docker/distribution/bin/dist
+ binaries
```
The above provides a repeatable build using the contents of the vendored
Godeps directory. This includes formatting, vetting, linting, building,
testing and generating tagged binaries. We can verify this worked by running
the registry binary generated in the "./bin" directory:
```sh
$ ./bin/registry -version
./bin/registry github.com/docker/distribution v2.0.0-alpha.2-80-g16d8b2c.m
```
### Developing
The above approaches are helpful for small experimentation. If more complex
tasks are at hand, it is recommended to employ the full power of `godep`.
The Makefile is designed to have its `GOPATH` defined externally. This allows
one to experiment with various development environment setups. This is
primarily useful when testing upstream bugfixes, by modifying local code. This
can be demonstrated using `godep` to migrate the `GOPATH` to use the specified
dependencies. The `GOPATH` can be migrated to the current package versions
declared in `Godeps` with the following command:
```sh
godep restore
```
> **WARNING:** This command will checkout versions of the code specified in
> Godeps/Godeps.json, modifying the contents of `GOPATH`. If this is
> undesired, it is recommended to create a workspace devoted to work on the
> _Distribution_ project.
With a successful run of the above command, one can now use `make` without
specifying the `GOPATH`:
```sh
$ make
```
If that is successful, standard `go` commands, such as `go test` should work,
per package, without issue.
