Adding container registries

The Container Registries page lets administrators record and manage information about public and private Docker container registries, including the registry location and access credentials. These registries can then be used to create containers directly from the Skytap web interface.

By default, Skytap includes the Public Docker Hub registry, which can be used to download and install common Docker images, such as web servers and databases. The administrator can add other registries, including private registries.

Adding a registry

   The Container Registries page displays.

   

2. Click (Add Registry). The Registry Details dialog displays.

3. Provide a display name and all required connection details:

   • Name – Type the name for the registry that displays in Skytap.

     A registry name is limited to 100 characters.

   • Server – Type the URL for registry server.
   • Email – Type the email address for the user who has access to the registry.
   • Username – Type the name for the user who has access to the registry.
