Quickstart for DockerRegistry

You should use the Registry if you want to: tightly control where your images are being stored fully own your images distribution pipeline integrate image storage and distribution tightly into your in-house development workflow

Deploy DockerRegistry on Elestio

1. Open the DockerRegistry deployment page and sign in, or create an account.
2. Choose a cloud provider, a region and a data center. Pick the region closest to your users for the lowest latency.
3. Choose an instance size. Elestio only lists the sizes that can run DockerRegistry properly (at least 1 vCPU and 1 GB of RAM).
4. Choose your support plan and the maintenance window for system and software updates (times are in UTC).
5. Click Create Service. DockerRegistry is deployed and ready in a few minutes, and you receive an email with the access details.

The full walkthrough with screenshots is in the installation guide.

Access DockerRegistry

Open your service in the Elestio dashboard and go to the Overview tab. Click Display Admin UI to reveal the URL, username and password of your DockerRegistry instance.

If the password field is blank, DockerRegistry does not ship with a pre-created admin user: open the admin URL to start its setup. Software without a web interface, such as databases, is reached with the credentials and port listed in the same tab. See Admin UI and credentials.
