How can a Docker repository be set up?
There are various methods to set up a Docker repository, with the more common ones being using the Docker Registry open-source project provided by Docker or the third-party open-source project Harbor. Here are the general steps to set up a Docker repository:
- To install Docker: Begin by installing the Docker engine on the server. The installation method can vary depending on the operating system.
- Download Docker Registry or Harbor: You can choose to install either Docker Registry or Harbor based on your own needs. Docker Registry is a repository service provided by Docker officially, while Harbor is an open-source project developed by VMware, offering more features and functionalities.
- Set up a Docker repository: Follow the instructions in the documentation to configure the relevant parameters for the Docker repository, such as the port number, storage path, authentication information, and more.
- Start the Docker repository: Activate the Docker repository service to ensure it is running smoothly.
- Set up the Docker client: configure the address and authentication information of the Docker repository on your local Docker client so that you can upload and download images.
- Test the Docker repository: Verify with the Docker client that the Docker repository is functioning properly, performing operations like uploading and downloading images.
By following the steps above, you can successfully set up a Docker repository to store and manage Docker images.
