# Registry Configuration Reference
The Registry configuration is based on a YAML file, detailed below. While it comes with sane default values out of the box, you are heavily encouraged to review it exhaustively before moving your systems to production.
## Override specific configuration options
In a typical setup where you run your Registry from the official image, you can specify a configuration variable from the environment by passing `-e` arguments to your `docker run` stanza, or from within a Dockerfile using the `ENV` instruction.
To override a configuration option, create an environment variable named
`REGISTRY_variable` where *`variable`* is the name of the configuration option
and the `_` (underscore) represents indention levels. For example, you can
configure the `rootdirectory` of the `filesystem` storage backend:
storage:
filesystem:
rootdirectory: /var/lib/registry
To override this value, set an environment variable like this:
REGISTRY_STORAGE_FILESYSTEM_ROOTDIRECTORY=/somewhere
This variable overrides the `/var/lib/registry` value to the `/somewhere`
directory.
>**NOTE**: It is highly recommended to create a base configuration file with which environment variables can be used to tweak individual values. Overriding configuration sections with environment variables is not recommended.
## Overriding the entire configuration file
If the default configuration is not a sound basis for your usage, or if you are having issues overriding keys from the environment, you can specify an alternate YAML configuration file by mounting it as a volume in the container.
Typically, create a new configuration file from scratch, and call it `config.yml`, then:
docker run -d -p 5000:5000 --restart=always --name registry \
-v `pwd`/config.yml:/etc/docker/registry/config.yml \
registry:2
You can (and probably should) use [this as a starting point](https://github.com/docker/distribution/blob/master/cmd/registry/config-example.yml).
## List of configuration options
This section lists all the registry configuration options. Some options in
the list are mutually exclusive. So, make sure to read the detailed reference
information about each option that appears later in this page.

In some instances a configuration option is **optional** but it contains child
options marked as **required**. This indicates that you can omit the parent with
all its children. However, if the parent is included, you must also include all
the children marked **required**.
## version
version: 0.1
The `version` option is **required**. It specifies the configuration's version.
It is expected to remain a top-level field, to allow for a consistent version
check before parsing the remainder of the configuration file.
## log
The `log` subsection configures the behavior of the logging system. The logging
system outputs everything to stdout. You can adjust the granularity and format
with this configuration section.
log:
level: debug
formatter: text
fields:
service: registry
environment: staging

The storage option is **required** and defines which storage backend is in use.
You must configure one backend; if you configure more, the registry returns an error. You can choose any of these backend storage drivers:
| Storage&nbsp;driver | Description
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `filesystem` | Uses the local disk to store registry files. It is ideal for development and may be appropriate for some small-scale production applications. See the [driver's reference documentation](storage-drivers/filesystem.md). |
| `azure` | Uses Microsoft's Azure Blob Storage. See the [driver's reference documentation](storage-drivers/azure.md). |
| `gcs` | Uses Google Cloud Storage. See the [driver's reference documentation](storage-drivers/gcs.md). |
| `s3` | Uses Amazon's Simple Storage Service (S3) and compatible Storage Services. See the [driver's reference documentation](storage-drivers/s3.md). |
| `swift` | Uses Openstack Swift object storage. See the [driver's reference documentation](storage-drivers/swift.md). |
| `oss` | Uses Aliyun OSS for object storage. See the [driver's reference documentation](storage-drivers/oss.md). |
For purely tests purposes, you can use the [`inmemory` storage
driver](storage-drivers/inmemory.md). If you would like to run a registry from
volatile memory, use the [`filesystem` driver](storage-drivers/filesystem.md) on
a ramdisk.
If you are deploying a registry on Windows, be aware that a Windows volume
mounted from the host is not recommended. Instead, you can use a S3, or Azure,
backing data-store. If you do use a Windows volume, you must ensure that the
`PATH` to the mount point is within Windows' `MAX_PATH` limits (typically 255
characters). Failure to do so can result in the following error message:
mkdir /XXX protocol error and your registry will not function properly.
### Maintenance
Currently upload purging and read-only mode are the only maintenance functions available.
These and future maintenance functions which are related to storage can be configured under
the maintenance section.
### Upload Purging
Upload purging is a background process that periodically removes orphaned files from the upload
directories of the registry. Upload purging is enabled by default. To
configure upload directory purging, the following parameters
must be set.
| Parameter | Required | Description
--------- | -------- | -----------
`enabled` | yes | Set to true to enable upload purging. Default=true. |
`age` | yes | Upload directories which are older than this age will be deleted. Default=168h (1 week)
`interval` | yes | The interval between upload directory purging. Default=24h.
`dryrun` | yes | dryrun can be set to true to obtain a summary of what directories will be deleted. Default=false.
Note: `age` and `interval` are strings containing a number with optional fraction and a unit suffix: e.g. 45m, 2h10m, 168h (1 week).
### Read-only mode
If the `readonly` section under `maintenance` has `enabled` set to `true`,
clients will not be allowed to write to the registry. This mode is useful to
temporarily prevent writes to the backend storage so a garbage collection pass
can be run. Before running garbage collection, the registry should be
restarted with readonly's `enabled` set to true. After the garbage collection
pass finishes, the registry may be restarted again, this time with `readonly`
removed from the configuration (or set to false).
### delete
Use the `delete` subsection to enable the deletion of image blobs and manifests
by digest. It defaults to false, but it can be enabled by writing the following
on the configuration file:
delete:
enabled: true
### cache
Use the `cache` subsection to enable caching of data accessed in the storage
backend. Currently, the only available cache provides fast access to layer
Refactor Blob Service API This PR refactors the blob service API to be oriented around blob descriptors. Identified by digests, blobs become an abstract entity that can be read and written using a descriptor as a handle. This allows blobs to take many forms, such as a ReadSeekCloser or a simple byte buffer, allowing blob oriented operations to better integrate with blob agnostic APIs (such as the `io` package). The error definitions are now better organized to reflect conditions that can only be seen when interacting with the blob API. The main benefit of this is to separate the much smaller metadata from large file storage. Many benefits also follow from this. Reading and writing has been separated into discrete services. Backend implementation is also simplified, by reducing the amount of metadata that needs to be picked up to simply serve a read. This also improves cacheability. "Opening" a blob simply consists of an access check (Stat) and a path calculation. Caching is greatly simplified and we've made the mapping of provisional to canonical hashes a first-class concept. BlobDescriptorService and BlobProvider can be combined in different ways to achieve varying effects. Recommend Review Approach ------------------------- This is a very large patch. While apologies are in order, we are getting a considerable amount of refactoring. Most changes follow from the changes to the root package (distribution), so start there. From there, the main changes are in storage. Looking at (*repository).Blobs will help to understand the how the linkedBlobStore is wired. One can explore the internals within and also branch out into understanding the changes to the caching layer. Following the descriptions below will also help to guide you. To reduce the chances for regressions, it was critical that major changes to unit tests were avoided. Where possible, they are left untouched and where not, the spirit is hopefully captured. Pay particular attention to where behavior may have changed. Storage ------- The primary changes to the `storage` package, other than the interface updates, were to merge the layerstore and blobstore. Blob access is now layered even further. The first layer, blobStore, exposes a global `BlobStatter` and `BlobProvider`. Operations here provide a fast path for most read operations that don't take access control into account. The `linkedBlobStore` layers on top of the `blobStore`, providing repository- scoped blob link management in the backend. The `linkedBlobStore` implements the full `BlobStore` suite, providing access-controlled, repository-local blob writers. The abstraction between the two is slightly broken in that `linkedBlobStore` is the only channel under which one can write into the global blob store. The `linkedBlobStore` also provides flexibility in that it can act over different link sets depending on configuration. This allows us to use the same code for signature links, manifest links and blob links. Eventually, we will fully consolidate this storage. The improved cache flow comes from the `linkedBlobStatter` component of `linkedBlobStore`. Using a `cachedBlobStatter`, these combine together to provide a simple cache hierarchy that should streamline access checks on read and write operations, or at least provide a single path to optimize. The metrics have been changed in a slightly incompatible way since the former operations, Fetch and Exists, are no longer relevant. The fileWriter and fileReader have been slightly modified to support the rest of the changes. The most interesting is the removal of the `Stat` call from `newFileReader`. This was the source of unnecessary round trips that were only present to look up the size of the resulting reader. Now, one must simply pass in the size, requiring the caller to decide whether or not the `Stat` call is appropriate. In several cases, it turned out the caller already had the size already. The `WriterAt` implementation has been removed from `fileWriter`, since it is no longer required for `BlobWriter`, reducing the number of paths which writes may take. Cache ----- Unfortunately, the `cache` package required a near full rewrite. It was pretty mechanical in that the cache is oriented around the `BlobDescriptorService` slightly modified to include the ability to set the values for individual digests. While the implementation is oriented towards caching, it can act as a primary store. Provisions are in place to have repository local metadata, in addition to global metadata. Fallback is implemented as a part of the storage package to maintain this flexibility. One unfortunate side-effect is that caching is now repository-scoped, rather than global. This should have little effect on performance but may increase memory usage. Handlers -------- The `handlers` package has been updated to leverage the new API. For the most part, the changes are superficial or mechanical based on the API changes. This did expose a bug in the handling of provisional vs canonical digests that was fixed in the unit tests. Configuration ------------- One user-facing change has been made to the configuration and is updated in the associated documentation. The `layerinfo` cache parameter has been deprecated by the `blobdescriptor` cache parameter. Both are equivalent and configuration files should be backward compatible. Notifications ------------- Changes the `notification` package are simply to support the interface changes. Context ------- A small change has been made to the tracing log-level. Traces have been moved from "info" to "debug" level to reduce output when not needed. Signed-off-by: Stephen J Day <stephen.day@docker.com>

You can set `blobdescriptor` field to `redis` or `inmemory`. The `redis` value uses
a Redis pool to cache layer metadata. The `inmemory` value uses an in memory
map.

### redirect
The `redirect` subsection provides configuration for managing redirects from
content backends. For backends that support it, redirecting is enabled by
default. Certain deployment scenarios may prefer to route all data through the
Registry, rather than redirecting to the backend. This may be more efficient
when using a backend that is not co-located or when a registry instance is
doing aggressive caching.
Redirects can be disabled by adding a single flag `disable`, set to `true`
under the `redirect` section:
redirect:
disable: true
## auth
auth:
silly:
realm: silly-realm
service: silly-service
token:
realm: token-realm
service: token-service
issuer: registry-token-issuer
rootcertbundle: /root/certs/bundle
htpasswd:
realm: basic-realm
path: /path/to/htpasswd
The `auth` option is **optional**. There are
currently 3 possible auth providers, `silly`, `token` and `htpasswd`. You can configure only
one `auth` provider.
### silly
The `silly` auth is only for development purposes. It simply checks for the
existence of the `Authorization` header in the HTTP request. It has no regard for
the header's value. If the header does not exist, the `silly` auth responds with a
challenge response, echoing back the realm, service, and scope that access was
denied for.
The following values are used to configure the response:
<table>
<tr>
<th>Parameter</th>
<th>Required</th>
<th>Description</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<code>realm</code>
</td>
<td>
yes
</td>
<td>
The realm in which the registry server authenticates.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<code>service</code>
</td>
<td>
yes
</td>
<td>
The service being authenticated.
</td>
</tr>
</table>
### token
Token based authentication allows the authentication system to be decoupled from
the registry. It is a well established authentication paradigm with a high
degree of security.
<table>
<tr>
<th>Parameter</th>
<th>Required</th>
<th>Description</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<code>realm</code>
</td>
<td>
yes
</td>
<td>
The realm in which the registry server authenticates.
</td>

<tr>
<td>
<code>service</code>
</td>
<td>
yes
</td>
<td>
The service being authenticated.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<code>issuer</code>
</td>
<td>
yes
</td>
<td>
The name of the token issuer. The issuer inserts this into
the token so it must match the value configured for the issuer.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<code>rootcertbundle</code>
</td>
<td>
yes
</td>
<td>
The absolute path to the root certificate bundle. This bundle contains the
public part of the certificates that is used to sign authentication tokens.
</td>
</tr>
</table>
For more information about Token based authentication configuration, see the [specification](spec/auth/token.md).
### htpasswd
The _htpasswd_ authentication backed allows one to configure basic auth using an
[Apache htpasswd
file](https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/programs/htpasswd.html). Only
[`bcrypt`](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bcrypt) format passwords are supported.
Entries with other hash types will be ignored. The htpasswd file is loaded once,
at startup. If the file is invalid, the registry will display an error and will
not start.
> __WARNING:__ This authentication scheme should only be used with TLS
> configured, since basic authentication sends passwords as part of the http
> header.
<table>
<tr>
<th>Parameter</th>
<th>Required</th>
<th>Description</th>

<tr>
<td>
<code>realm</code>
</td>
<td>
yes
</td>
<td>
The realm in which the registry server authenticates.

yes
</td>
<td>
Path to htpasswd file to load at startup.

## middleware
The `middleware` option is **optional**. Use this option to inject middleware at
named hook points. All middleware must implement the same interface as the
object they're wrapping. This means a registry middleware must implement the
`distribution.Namespace` interface, repository middleware must implement
`distribution.Repository`, and storage middleware must implement
`driver.StorageDriver`.
An example configuration of the `cloudfront` middleware, a storage middleware:
middleware:
registry:
- name: ARegistryMiddleware
options:
foo: bar
repository:
- name: ARepositoryMiddleware
options:
foo: bar
storage:
- name: cloudfront
options:
baseurl: https://my.cloudfronted.domain.com/
privatekey: /path/to/pem
keypairid: cloudfrontkeypairid
duration: 3000s
Each middleware entry has `name` and `options` entries. The `name` must
correspond to the name under which the middleware registers itself. The
`options` field is a map that details custom configuration required to
initialize the middleware. It is treated as a `map[string]interface{}`. As such,
it supports any interesting structures desired, leaving it up to the middleware
initialization function to best determine how to handle the specific
interpretation of the options.
### cloudfront
<table>
<tr>
<th>Parameter</th>
<th>Required</th>

Specify a `duration` by providing an integer and a unit. Valid time units are `ns`, `us` (or `µs`), `ms`, `s`, `m`, `h`. For example, `3000s` is a valid duration; there should be no space between the integer and unit. If you do not specify a `duration` or specify an integer without a time unit, this defaults to 20 minutes.
</td>
</tr>
</table>
### redirect
In place of the `cloudfront` storage middleware, the `redirect`
storage middleware can be used to specify a custom URL to a location
of a proxy for the layer stored by the S3 storage driver.
| Parameter | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| baseurl | yes | `SCHEME://HOST` at which layers are served. Can also contain port. For example, `https://example.com:5443`. |

</table>
### tls
The `tls` struct within `http` is **optional**. Use this to configure TLS
for the server. If you already have a server such as Nginx or Apache running on
the same host as the registry, you may prefer to configure TLS termination there
and proxy connections to the registry server.

### debug
The `debug` option is **optional** . Use it to configure a debug server that
can be helpful in diagnosing problems. The debug endpoint can be used for
monitoring registry metrics and health, as well as profiling. Sensitive
information may be available via the debug endpoint. Please be certain that
access to the debug endpoint is locked down in a production environment.
The `debug` section takes a single, required `addr` parameter. This parameter
specifies the `HOST:PORT` on which the debug server should accept connections.
### headers
The `headers` option is **optional** . Use it to specify headers that the HTTP
server should include in responses. This can be used for security headers such
as `Strict-Transport-Security`.
The `headers` option should contain an option for each header to include, where
the parameter name is the header's name, and the parameter value a list of the
header's payload values.
Including `X-Content-Type-Options: [nosniff]` is recommended, so that browsers
will not interpret content as HTML if they are directed to load a page from the
registry. This header is included in the example configuration files.
## notifications
notifications:
endpoints:
- name: alistener
disabled: false
url: https://my.listener.com/event

## Proxy
proxy:
remoteurl: https://registry-1.docker.io
username: [username]
password: [password]
Proxy enables a registry to be configured as a pull through cache to the official Docker Hub. See [mirror](recipes/mirror.md) for more information. Pushing to a registry configured as a pull through cache is currently unsupported.
<table>
<tr>
<th>Parameter</th>
<th>Required</th>

To enable pulling private repositories (e.g. `batman/robin`) a username and password for user `batman` must be specified. Note: These private repositories will be stored in the proxy cache's storage and relevant measures should be taken to protect access to this.
## Compatibility
compatibility:
schema1:
signingkeyfile: /etc/registry/key.json
Configure handling of older and deprecated features. Each subsection
defines a such a feature with configurable behavior.
### Schema1
<table>
<tr>
<th>Parameter</th>
<th>Required</th>
<th>Description</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<code>signingkeyfile</code>

## Example: Development configuration
The following is a simple example you can use for local development:
version: 0.1
log:
level: debug
storage:
filesystem:
rootdirectory: /var/lib/registry
http:
addr: localhost:5000
secret: asecretforlocaldevelopment
debug:
addr: localhost:5001
The above configures the registry instance to run on port `5000`, binding to
`localhost`, with the `debug` server enabled. Registry data storage is in the
`/var/lib/registry` directory. Logging is in `debug` mode, which is the most
verbose.
A similar simple configuration is available at
[config-example.yml](https://github.com/docker/distribution/blob/master/cmd/registry/config-example.yml).
Both are generally useful for local development.
## Example: Middleware configuration
This example illustrates how to configure storage middleware in a registry.
Middleware allows the registry to serve layers via a content delivery network
(CDN). This is useful for reducing requests to the storage layer.
The registry supports [Amazon
Cloudfront](http://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/). You can only use Cloudfront in
conjunction with the S3 storage driver.
<table>
<tr>
<th>Parameter</th>
<th>Description</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><code>name</code></td>
<td>The storage middleware name. Currently <code>cloudfront</code> is an accepted value.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><code>disabled<code></td>
<td>Set to <code>false</code> to easily disable the middleware.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><code>options:</code></td>
<td>
A set of key/value options to configure the middleware.
<ul>
<li><code>baseurl:</code> The Cloudfront base URL.</li>
<li><code>privatekey:</code> The location of your AWS private key on the filesystem. </li>
<li><code>keypairid:</code> The ID of your Cloudfront keypair. </li>
<li><code>duration:</code> The duration in minutes for which the URL is valid. Default is 20. </li>
</ul>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
The following example illustrates these values:
middleware:
storage:
- name: cloudfront
disabled: false
options:
baseurl: http://d111111abcdef8.cloudfront.net
privatekey: /path/to/asecret.pem
keypairid: asecret
duration: 60
>**Note**: Cloudfront keys exist separately to other AWS keys. See
>[the documentation on AWS credentials](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-security-credentials.html)
>for more information.
