The Registry configuration is based on a YAML file, detailed below. While it comes with sane default values out of the box, you are heavily encouraged to review it exhaustively before moving your systems to production.
In a typical setup where you run your Registry from the official image, you can specify a configuration variable from the environment by passing -e arguments to your docker run stanza, or from within a Dockerfile using the ENV instruction.
To override a configuration option, create an environment variable named
REGISTRY_variable where variable is the name of the configuration option
and the _ (underscore) represents indention levels. For example, you can
configure the rootdirectory of the filesystem storage backend:
storage:
filesystem:
rootdirectory: /var/lib/registry
To override this value, set an environment variable like this:
REGISTRY_STORAGE_FILESYSTEM_ROOTDIRECTORY=/somewhere
This variable overrides the /var/lib/registry value to the /somewhere
directory.
NOTE: It is highly recommended to create a base configuration file with which environment variables can be used to tweak individual values. Overriding configuration sections with environment variables is not recommended.
If the default configuration is not a sound basis for your usage, or if you are having issues overriding keys from the environment, you can specify an alternate YAML configuration file by mounting it as a volume in the container.
Typically, create a new configuration file from scratch, and call it config.yml, then:
docker run -d -p 5000:5000 --restart=always --name registry \
-v `pwd`/config.yml:/etc/docker/registry/config.yml \
registry:2
You can (and probably should) use this as a starting point.
This section lists all the registry configuration options. Some options in the list are mutually exclusive. So, make sure to read the detailed reference information about each option that appears later in this page.

In some instances a configuration option is optional but it contains child options marked as required. This indicates that you can omit the parent with all its children. However, if the parent is included, you must also include all the children marked required.
version: 0.1
The version option is required. It specifies the configuration's version.
It is expected to remain a top-level field, to allow for a consistent version
check before parsing the remainder of the configuration file.
The log subsection configures the behavior of the logging system. The logging
system outputs everything to stdout. You can adjust the granularity and format
with this configuration section.
log:

| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
level
|
no |
Sets the sensitivity of logging output. Permitted values are
error, warn, info and
debug. The default is info.
|
formatter
|
no |
This selects the format of logging output. The format primarily affects how keyed
attributes for a log line are encoded. Options are text, json or
logstash. The default is text.
|
fields

The storage option is required and defines which storage backend is in use. You must configure one backend; if you configure more, the registry returns an error. You can choose any of these backend storage drivers:
| Storage driver | Description |
|---|---|
filesystem |
Uses the local disk to store registry files. It is ideal for development and may be appropriate for some small-scale production applications. See the driver's reference documentation. |
azure |
Uses Microsoft's Azure Blob Storage. See the driver's reference documentation. |
gcs |
Uses Google Cloud Storage. See the driver's reference documentation. |
s3 |
Uses Amazon's Simple Storage Service (S3) and compatible Storage Services. See the driver's reference documentation. |
swift |
Uses Openstack Swift object storage. See the driver's reference documentation. |
oss |
Uses Aliyun OSS for object storage. See the driver's reference documentation. |
For purely tests purposes, you can use the inmemory storage
driver. If you would like to run a registry from
volatile memory, use the filesystem driver on
a ramdisk.
If you are deploying a registry on Windows, be aware that a Windows volume
mounted from the host is not recommended. Instead, you can use a S3, or Azure,
backing data-store. If you do use a Windows volume, you must ensure that the
PATH to the mount point is within Windows' MAX_PATH limits (typically 255
characters). Failure to do so can result in the following error message:
mkdir /XXX protocol error and your registry will not function properly.
Currently upload purging and read-only mode are the only maintenance functions available. These and future maintenance functions which are related to storage can be configured under the maintenance section.
Upload purging is a background process that periodically removes orphaned files from the upload directories of the registry. Upload purging is enabled by default. To configure upload directory purging, the following parameters must be set.
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
enabled |
yes | Set to true to enable upload purging. Default=true. |
age |
yes | Upload directories which are older than this age will be deleted. Default=168h (1 week) |
interval |
yes | The interval between upload directory purging. Default=24h. |
dryrun |
yes | dryrun can be set to true to obtain a summary of what directories will be deleted. Default=false. |
Note: age and interval are strings containing a number with optional fraction and a unit suffix: e.g. 45m, 2h10m, 168h (1 week).
If the readonly section under maintenance has enabled set to true,
clients will not be allowed to write to the registry. This mode is useful to
temporarily prevent writes to the backend storage so a garbage collection pass
can be run. Before running garbage collection, the registry should be
restarted with readonly's enabled set to true. After the garbage collection
pass finishes, the registry may be restarted again, this time with readonly
removed from the configuration (or set to false).
Use the delete subsection to enable the deletion of image blobs and manifests
by digest. It defaults to false, but it can be enabled by writing the following
on the configuration file:
delete:
enabled: true
Use the cache subsection to enable caching of data accessed in the storage
backend. Currently, the only available cache provides fast access to layer
metadata. This, if configured, uses the blobdescriptor field.
You can set blobdescriptor field to redis or inmemory. The redis value uses
a Redis pool to cache layer metadata. The inmemory value uses an in memory
map.
NOTE: Formerly,
blobdescriptorwas known aslayerinfo. While these are equivalent,layerinfohas been deprecated, in favor orblobdescriptor.
The redirect subsection provides configuration for managing redirects from
content backends. For backends that support it, redirecting is enabled by
default. Certain deployment scenarios may prefer to route all data through the
Registry, rather than redirecting to the backend. This may be more efficient
when using a backend that is not co-located or when a registry instance is
doing aggressive caching.
Redirects can be disabled by adding a single flag disable, set to true
under the redirect section:
redirect:
disable: true
auth:
silly:
realm: silly-realm
service: silly-service
token:
realm: token-realm
service: token-service
issuer: registry-token-issuer
rootcertbundle: /root/certs/bundle
htpasswd:
realm: basic-realm
path: /path/to/htpasswd
The auth option is optional. There are
currently 3 possible auth providers, silly, token and htpasswd. You can configure only
one auth provider.
The silly auth is only for development purposes. It simply checks for the
existence of the Authorization header in the HTTP request. It has no regard for
the header's value. If the header does not exist, the silly auth responds with a
challenge response, echoing back the realm, service, and scope that access was
denied for.
The following values are used to configure the response:
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
realm
|
yes | The realm in which the registry server authenticates. |
service
|
yes | The service being authenticated. |
Token based authentication allows the authentication system to be decoupled from the registry. It is a well established authentication paradigm with a high degree of security.
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
realm
|
yes | The realm in which the registry server authenticates. |
service
|
yes | The service being authenticated. |
issuer
|
yes | The name of the token issuer. The issuer inserts this into the token so it must match the value configured for the issuer. |
rootcertbundle
|
yes | The absolute path to the root certificate bundle. This bundle contains the public part of the certificates that is used to sign authentication tokens. |
For more information about Token based authentication configuration, see the specification.
The htpasswd authentication backed allows one to configure basic auth using an
Apache htpasswd
file. Only
bcrypt format passwords are supported.
Entries with other hash types will be ignored. The htpasswd file is loaded once,
at startup. If the file is invalid, the registry will display an error and will
not start.
WARNING: This authentication scheme should only be used with TLS configured, since basic authentication sends passwords as part of the http header.
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
realm
|
yes | The realm in which the registry server authenticates. |
path
|
yes | Path to htpasswd file to load at startup. |
The middleware option is optional. Use this option to inject middleware at
named hook points. All middleware must implement the same interface as the
object they're wrapping. This means a registry middleware must implement the
distribution.Namespace interface, repository middleware must implement
distribution.Repository, and storage middleware must implement
driver.StorageDriver.
An example configuration of the cloudfront middleware, a storage middleware:
middleware:
registry:
- name: ARegistryMiddleware
options:
foo: bar
repository:
- name: ARepositoryMiddleware
options:
foo: bar
storage:
- name: cloudfront
options:
baseurl: https://my.cloudfronted.domain.com/
privatekey: /path/to/pem
keypairid: cloudfrontkeypairid
duration: 3000s
Each middleware entry has name and options entries. The name must
correspond to the name under which the middleware registers itself. The
options field is a map that details custom configuration required to
initialize the middleware. It is treated as a map[string]interface{}. As such,
it supports any interesting structures desired, leaving it up to the middleware
initialization function to best determine how to handle the specific
interpretation of the options.
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
baseurl
|
yes |
SCHEME://HOST[/PATH] at which Cloudfront is served.
|
privatekey
|
yes | Private Key for Cloudfront provided by AWS. |
keypairid
|
yes | Key pair ID provided by AWS. |
duration
|
no | Specify a `duration` by providing an integer and a unit. Valid time units are `ns`, `us` (or `µs`), `ms`, `s`, `m`, `h`. For example, `3000s` is a valid duration; there should be no space between the integer and unit. If you do not specify a `duration` or specify an integer without a time unit, this defaults to 20 minutes. |
In place of the cloudfront storage middleware, the redirect
storage middleware can be used to specify a custom URL to a location
of a proxy for the layer stored by the S3 storage driver.
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| baseurl | yes | SCHEME://HOST at which layers are served. Can also contain port. For example, https://example.com:5443. |

reporting tools. At the moment only two services are supported, New
Relic and Bugsnag, a valid
configuration may contain both.
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
apikey
|
yes | API Key provided by Bugsnag |
releasestage

headers:
X-Content-Type-Options: [nosniff]
The http option details the configuration for the HTTP server that hosts the registry.
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
addr
|
yes |
The address for which the server should accept connections. The form depends on a network type (see net option):
HOST:PORT for tcp and FILE for a unix socket.
|
net
|
no |
The network which is used to create a listening socket. Known networks are unix and tcp.
The default empty value means tcp.
|
prefix
|
no |
If the server does not run at the root path use this value to specify the
prefix. The root path is the section before v2. It
should have both preceding and trailing slashes, for example /path/.
|
host
|
no | This parameter specifies an externally-reachable address for the registry, as a fully qualified URL. If present, it is used when creating generated URLs. Otherwise, these URLs are derived from client requests. |
secret
|
yes |
A random piece of data. This is used to sign state that may be stored with the
client to protect against tampering. For production environments you should generate a
random piece of data using a cryptographically secure random generator. This
configuration parameter may be omitted, in which case the registry will automatically
generate a secret at launch.
WARNING: If you are building a cluster of registries behind a load balancer, you MUST ensure the secret is the same for all registries. |
relativeurls
|
no | Specifies that the registry should return relative URLs in Location headers. The client is responsible for resolving the correct URL. This option is not compatible with Docker 1.7 and earlier. |
The tls struct within http is optional. Use this to configure TLS
for the server. If you already have a server such as Nginx or Apache running on
the same host as the registry, you may prefer to configure TLS termination there
and proxy connections to the registry server.
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
certificate
|
yes | Absolute path to x509 cert file |
key
|
yes | Absolute path to x509 private key file. |
clientcas
|
no | An array of absolute paths to a x509 CA file |
The debug option is optional . Use it to configure a debug server that
can be helpful in diagnosing problems. The debug endpoint can be used for
monitoring registry metrics and health, as well as profiling. Sensitive
information may be available via the debug endpoint. Please be certain that
access to the debug endpoint is locked down in a production environment.
The debug section takes a single, required addr parameter. This parameter
specifies the HOST:PORT on which the debug server should accept connections.
The headers option is optional . Use it to specify headers that the HTTP
server should include in responses. This can be used for security headers such
as Strict-Transport-Security.
The headers option should contain an option for each header to include, where
the parameter name is the header's name, and the parameter value a list of the
header's payload values.
Including X-Content-Type-Options: [nosniff] is recommended, so that browsers
will not interpret content as HTML if they are directed to load a page from the
registry. This header is included in the example configuration files.
notifications:
endpoints:
- name: alistener
disabled: false
url: https://my.listener.com/event
headers: <http.Header>
timeout: 500
threshold: 5
backoff: 1000

name
|
yes | A human readable name for the service. |
disabled
|
no | A boolean to enable/disable notifications for a service. |
url
|
yes | The URL to which events should be published. |
headers
|
yes | Static headers to add to each request. Each header's name should be a key underneath headers, and each value is a list of payloads for that header name. Note that values must always be lists. |
timeout
|
yes |
An HTTP timeout value. This field takes a positive integer and an optional
suffix indicating the unit of time. Possible units are:
|
threshold
|
yes | An integer specifying how long to wait before backing off a failure. |
backoff
|
yes |
How long the system backs off before retrying. This field takes a positive
integer and an optional suffix indicating the unit of time. Possible units
are:
|
redis:

db: 0
dialtimeout: 10ms
readtimeout: 10ms
writetimeout: 10ms
pool:
maxidle: 16
maxactive: 64
idletimeout: 300s
Declare parameters for constructing the redis connections. Registry instances may use the Redis instance for several applications. The current purpose is caching information about immutable blobs. Most of the options below control how the registry connects to redis. You can control the pool's behavior with the pool subsection.
It's advisable to configure Redis itself with the allkeys-lru eviction policy as the registry does not set an expire value on keys.
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
addr
|
yes | Address (host and port) of redis instance. |
password
|
no | A password used to authenticate to the redis instance. |

| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
file
|
yes | The path to check for the existence of a file. |
interval
|
no |
The length of time to wait between repetitions of the check. This field
takes a positive integer and an optional suffix indicating the unit of

| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
uri
|
yes | The URI to check. |
headers
|
no | Static headers to add to each request. Each header's name should be a key underneath headers, and each value is a list of payloads for that header name. Note that values must always be lists. |
statuscode
|
no | Expected status code from the HTTP URI. Defaults to 200. |

Proxy enables a registry to be configured as a pull through cache to the official Docker Hub. See mirror for more information. Pushing to a registry configured as a pull through cache is currently unsupported.
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
remoteurl
|
yes | The URL of the official Docker Hub |
username
|
no | The username of the Docker Hub account |
password
|
no | The password for the official Docker Hub account |
To enable pulling private repositories (e.g. batman/robin) a username and password for user batman must be specified. Note: These private repositories will be stored in the proxy cache's storage and relevant measures should be taken to protect access to this.
compatibility:
schema1:
signingkeyfile: /etc/registry/key.json
disablesignaturestore: true
Configure handling of older and deprecated features. Each subsection defines a such a feature with configurable behavior.
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
signingkeyfile
|
no | The signing private key used for adding signatures to schema1 manifests. If no signing key is provided, a new ECDSA key will be generated on startup. |
disablesignaturestore
|
no | Disables storage of signatures attached to schema1 manifests. By default signatures are detached from schema1 manifests, stored, and reattached when the manifest is requested. When this is true, the storage is disabled and a new signature is always generated for schema1 manifests using the schema1 signing key. Disabling signature storage will cause all newly uploaded signatures to be discarded. Existing stored signatures will not be removed but they will not be re-attached to the corresponding manifest. |
The following is a simple example you can use for local development:
version: 0.1
log:
level: debug
storage:
filesystem:
rootdirectory: /var/lib/registry
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 storage is in the
/var/lib/registry directory. Logging is in debug mode, which is the most
verbose.
A similar simple configuration is available at config-example.yml. Both are generally useful for local development.
This example illustrates how to configure storage middleware in a registry. Middleware allows the registry to serve layers via a content delivery network (CDN). This is useful for reducing requests to the storage layer.
The registry supports Amazon Cloudfront. You can only use Cloudfront in conjunction with the S3 storage driver.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
name |
The storage middleware name. Currently cloudfront is an accepted value. |
disabled |
Set to false to easily disable the middleware. |
options: |
A set of key/value options to configure the middleware.
|
The following example illustrates these values:
middleware:
storage:
- name: cloudfront
disabled: false
options:
baseurl: http://d111111abcdef8.cloudfront.net
privatekey: /path/to/asecret.pem
keypairid: asecret
duration: 60
Note: Cloudfront keys exist separately to other AWS keys. See the documentation on AWS credentials for more information.
