Setting Up A Docker Registry As Pull Through Cache

In our last blog post, Peter talked about how to Simulate A Docker Hub Outage, where he gave some context on what a pull-through cache (aka registry mirror) is and why Shipyard needs to mirror parts of Docker Hub.

Peter described the implementation as straightforward. While he’s not exactly wrong, I wanted to share some gotchas and tell you some caveats that I wish I knew before implementing this.

Getting Started With Container Registries

Container registries serve as libraries to store and access third-party container images required during the build phase of the SDLC and the images produced for deployment to test, staging, and production environments. While public container registries are accessible and convenient, private registries can better integrate into existing CI/CD workflows, offer greater control over access and security, as well as help ensure build repeatability and reliability. This Refcard covers key container concepts and terminology; common use cases; and guidelines for container registry configuration, operation, security, and storage.

How to Setup Docker Private Registry on Ubuntu 16.04

Introduction

Docker Private Registry is a highly scalable server-side application that can be used to store and distribute the Docker images internally within your organization. Docker also has its own public registry (Docker Hub) that allows you to store Docker images. But, the images you upload on Docker Hub becomes public. Anyone can access and use your images from Docker Hub. So it is not the best option for your organization. Docker Private Registry allows you to set up a Docker registry for your project privately so that only your organization can store and use Docker images on it. Using Docker Private Registry, you can easily control your images, fully own your images distribution pipeline, and integrate image storage and distribution tightly into your in-house development workflow. If you want to quickly deploy a new image over a large cluster of machines, then Docker Private Registry is the best solution for you.

In this tutorial, We will explain how to set up our own Docker Private Registry server on Alibaba Cloud Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instance with Ubuntu 16.04.
