Private Docker Registry

Host private container images and OCI artifacts on the standard Docker Registry HTTP API V2. A generous transfer allowance is included, with the same predictable pricing as every other repository you keep with us.

Works with docker, podman, nerdctl, Buildah, Kaniko and Skopeo
Connect to docker-images: the registry host for docker login, and the path images are tagged and pulled under.
Log in and push
echo "$CLOUDREPO_TOKEN" | docker login your-org.mycloudrepo.io --username you@example.com --password-stdin
docker tag my-app:1.0.0 your-org.mycloudrepo.io/repositories/your-repo/my-app:1.0.0
docker push your-org.mycloudrepo.io/repositories/your-repo/my-app:1.0.0

What you get

A private Docker registry your tools already know, at a price you know before CI runs.

Standard Registry HTTP API V2
docker, podman, nerdctl, Buildah, Kaniko and Skopeo all connect with nothing beyond a docker login. No plugin, no proprietary client.
Repository Tokens, Not Portal Passwords
Sign in with a token scoped to the repositories you pick. Revoke it any time without touching anyone’s password.
Helm Charts in the Same Repository
Helm 3 stores charts as OCI artifacts, so your charts sit beside your images in the same repository, reached the same way. Nothing extra to enable.
Group Repositories
Give a team one registry address that resolves across several repositories in a priority order you set. Each member keeps its own permissions.
Public or Private, Per Repository
Mark a repository public for anonymous pulls, or keep it private so every read and write is gated and isolated to your organization.

Quick Setup Guide

Four steps from a fresh repository to an image your team can pull.

1

Create a Generic repository token

In the admin portal, open Repository Tokens and create one in the Generic format. Choose the repositories it may reach. The value is shown once.

Admin portal
# Admin portal -> Repository Tokens -> Create token
# Format: Generic
2

Log in to the host

docker login takes the host and nothing more. The user name can be any value; the token you paste at the prompt is what counts. Your portal password is refused at the registry, owner or not.

Terminal
docker login your-org.mycloudrepo.io
3

Tag and push

The image reference carries a literal repositories/ segment, the same segment your Maven, npm and PyPI repositories are addressed under.

Terminal
docker tag my-app:1.0.0 your-org.mycloudrepo.io/repositories/your-repo/my-app:1.0.0
docker push your-org.mycloudrepo.io/repositories/your-repo/my-app:1.0.0
4

Pull from anywhere

Same reference, same sign-in. Public repositories serve anonymous pulls; private ones require the login above.

Terminal
docker pull your-org.mycloudrepo.io/repositories/your-repo/my-app:1.0.0

The one thing worth reading twice

docker login takes the host on its own. The image reference is what carries /repositories/your-repo/. Docker keeps one credential per host and quietly drops any path you type at login, so adding the repository there still reports Login Succeeded and gives you no hint it was discarded. Log in to the host; let the reference carry the repository.

One Registry, Beyond the Basics

The same repository serves your images, your charts, and a team-wide address that spans several repositories.

Group Repositories

Point developers at one address and resolve it across several repositories in a priority order you set. A group holds no storage of its own, so it is read-only: push to the member repository and the image appears through the group at once. Permissions still apply per member, so a group never widens access.

Terminal
# A group is addressed like any repository
docker pull your-org.mycloudrepo.io/repositories/team-registry/my-app:1.0.0

Helm Charts over OCI

There is no separate Helm repository type and no index.yaml to maintain. Push charts to a Docker repository over oci://. The push URL ends at the repository, because Helm appends the chart name and version itself.

Terminal
helm push my-chart-0.1.0.tgz \
  oci://your-org.mycloudrepo.io/repositories/your-repo

Moving Docker images from Nexus or Artifactory?

Install the migration tool with one line. Run it with --dry-run first: a dry run lists what would move and uploads nothing.

Terminal
pipx install cloudrepo-migrate

No pipx? In a virtual environment, run pip install cloudrepo-migrate.
