---
While it's highly recommended to secure your registry using a TLS certificate
issued by a known CA, you may alternatively decide to use self-signed
certificates, or even use your registry over plain http.
You have to understand the downsides in doing so, and the extra burden in
configuration.
issued by a known CA, you can choose to use self-signed certificates, or use
your registry over an unencrypted HTTP connection. Either of these choices
involves security trade-offs and additional configuration steps.

This basically tells Docker to entirely disregard security for your registry.
While this is relatively easy to configure the daemon in this way, it is
**very** insecure. It does expose your registry to trivial MITM. Only use this

environment.
This procedure configures Docker to entirely disregard security for your
registry. This is **very** insecure and is not recommended. It exposes your
registry to trivial man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks. Only use this solution for
isolated testing or in a tightly controlled, air-gapped environment.
1. Open the `/etc/default/docker` file or `/etc/sysconfig/docker` for editing.
1. Edit the `daemon.json` file, whose default location is
`/etc/docker/daemon.json` on Linux or
`C:\ProgramData\docker\config\daemon.json` on Windows Server. If you use
Docker for Mac or Docker for Windows, click the Docker icon, choose
**Preferences**, and choose +**Daemon**.
Depending on your operating system, your Engine daemon start options.
If the `daemon.json` file does not exist, create it. Assuming there are no
other settings in the file, it should have the following contents:
2. Edit (or add) the `DOCKER_OPTS` line and add the `--insecure-registry` flag.
```json
{
"insecure-registries" : ["myregistrydomain.com:5000"]
}
```
This flag takes the URL of your registry, for example.
Substitute the address of your insecure registry for the one in the example.
`DOCKER_OPTS="--insecure-registry myregistrydomain.com:5000"`
With insecure registries enabled, Docker goes through the following steps:
3. Close and save the configuration file.
- First, try using HTTPS.
- If HTTPS is available but the certificate is invalid, ignore the error
about the certificate.
- If HTTPS is not available, fall back to HTTP.
4. Restart your Docker daemon
The command you use to restart the daemon depends on your operating system.
For example, on Ubuntu, this is usually the `service docker stop` and `service
docker start` command.
2. Restart Docker for the changes to take effect.
5. Repeat this configuration on every Engine host that wants to access your registry.

This is more secure than the insecure registry solution.
1. Generate your own certificate:
mkdir -p certs && openssl req \
```bash
$ mkdir -p certs
$ openssl req \
-newkey rsa:4096 -nodes -sha256 -keyout certs/domain.key \
-x509 -days 365 -out certs/domain.crt

3. Instruct every Docker daemon to trust that certificate. The way to do this
depends on your OS.
This is done by copying the `domain.crt` file to `/etc/docker/certs.d/myregistrydomain.com:5000/ca.crt`.
- **Linux**: Copy the `domain.crt` file to
`/etc/docker/certs.d/myregistrydomain.com:5000/ca.crt` on every Docker
host. You do not need to restart Docker.
- **Windows Server**:
1. Open Windows Explorer, right-click the `domain.crt`
file, and choose Install certificate. When prompted, select the following
options:
| Store location | local machine |
| Place all certificates in the following store | selected |
2. Click **Browser** and select **Trusted Root Certificate Authorities**.
3. Click **Finish**. Restart Docker.
- **Docker for Mac**: Follow the instructions on
[Adding custom CA certificates](/docker-for-mac/faqs.md#how-do-i-add-custom-ca-certificates){: target="_blank" class="_"}.
Restart Docker.
- **Docker for Windows**: Follow the instructions on
[Adding custom CA certificates](/docker-for-windows/faqs.md#how-do-i-add-custom-ca-certificates){: target="_blank" class="_"}.
Restart Docker.
5. Don't forget to restart the Engine daemon.

### Configuring the Docker daemon
### Configure the Docker daemon
You will need to pass the `--registry-mirror` option to your Docker daemon on
startup:
Either pass the `--registry-mirror` option when starting `dockerd` manually,
or edit `/etc/docker/daemon.json` and add the `registry-mirrors` key and value,
to make the change persistent.
docker --registry-mirror=https://<my-docker-mirror-host> daemon
```json
{
"registry-mirrors": ["https://<my-docker-mirror-host>"]
}
```
For example, if your mirror is serving on `http://10.0.0.2:5000`, you would run:
docker --registry-mirror=https://10.0.0.2:5000 daemon
> NOTE: Depending on your local host setup, you may be able to add the
`--registry-mirror` option to the `DOCKER_OPTS` variable in
`/etc/default/docker`.
Save the file and restart Docker for the change to take effect.
