Background
Our engineering team developed a Docker Container for our application, Kloudless Enterprise, to simplify cluster using industry standard tools like Docker Swarm or Kubernetes.
However, our customers found downloading the container from our web portal was somewhat inconvenient. Users previously had to download the archived image and manually load it into their Docker daemon to use it. There also wasn’t a way to check which images were available without visiting the portal through a browser. To improve the experience, we decided to provide a private Docker Registry that would allow our users to not only pull images, but also query tags and take advantage of other useful features that the Docker Registry provides.
