title: "Configuring a registry"
description: "Explains how to configure a registry"
keywords: registry, on-prem, images, tags, repository, distribution, configuration
---
The Registry configuration is based on a YAML file, detailed below. While it
comes with sane default values out of the box, you should 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:
```none
storage:
filesystem:
rootdirectory: /var/lib/registry
```
To override this value, set an environment variable like this:
```none
REGISTRY_STORAGE_FILESYSTEM_ROOTDIRECTORY=/somewhere
```
This variable overrides the `/var/lib/registry` value to the `/somewhere`
directory.
> **Note**: Create a base configuration file with environment variables that can
> be configured 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,named `config.yml`, then
specify it in the `docker run` command:
```bash
$ docker run -d -p 5000:5000 --restart=always --name registry \
-v `pwd`/config.yml:/etc/docker/registry/config.yml \
registry:2
```
Use this
[example YAML file](https://github.com/docker/distribution/blob/master/cmd/registry/config-example.yml)
as a starting point.
## List of configuration options
These are all configuration options for the registry. Some options in the list
are mutually exclusive. Read the detailed reference information about each
option before finalizing your configuration.

In some instances a configuration option is **optional** but it contains child
options marked as **required**. In these cases, 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`
```none
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.
```none
log:
accesslog:
disabled: true
level: debug
formatter: text
fields:
service: registry
environment: staging
```
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|-------------|----------|-------------|
| `level` | no | Sets the sensitivity of logging output. Permitted values are `error`, `warn`, `info`, and `debug`. The default is `info`. |
| `formatter` | no | This selects the format of logging output. The format primarily affects how keyed attributes for a log line are encoded. Options are `text`, `json`, and `logstash`. The default is `text`. |
| `fields` | no | A map of field names to values. These are added to every log line for the context. This is useful for identifying log messages source after being mixed in other systems. |
### `accesslog`
```none
accesslog:
disabled: true
```
Within `log`, `accesslog` configures the behavior of the access logging
system. By default, the access logging system outputs to stdout in
[Combined Log Format](https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/logs.html#combined).
Access logging can be disabled by setting the boolean flag `disabled` to `true`.
## `hooks`
```none
hooks:
- type: mail
levels:
- panic
options:
smtp:
addr: smtp.sendhost.com:25
username: sendername
password: password
insecure: true
from: name@sendhost.com
to:
- name@receivehost.com
```
The `hooks` subsection configures the logging hooks' behavior. This subsection
includes a sequence handler which you can use for sending mail, for example.
Refer to `loglevel` to configure the level of messages printed.
## `loglevel`
> **DEPRECATED:** Please use [log](#log) instead.
```none
loglevel: debug
```
Permitted values are `error`, `warn`, `info` and `debug`. The default is
`info`.
## `storage`
```none

The `storage` option is **required** and defines which storage backend is in
use. You must configure exactly one backend. If you configure more, the registry
returns an error. You can choose any of these backend storage drivers:
| Storage 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](https://github.com/docker/docker.github.io/tree/master/registry/storage-drivers/filesystem.md). |
| `azure` | Uses Microsoft Azure Blob Storage. See the [driver's reference documentation](https://github.com/docker/docker.github.io/tree/master/registry/storage-drivers/azure.md). |
| `gcs` | Uses Google Cloud Storage. See the [driver's reference documentation](https://github.com/docker/docker.github.io/tree/master/registry/storage-drivers/gcs.md). |
| `s3` | Uses Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) and compatible Storage Services. See the [driver's reference documentation](https://github.com/docker/docker.github.io/tree/master/registry/storage-drivers/s3.md). |
| `swift` | Uses Openstack Swift object storage. See the [driver's reference documentation](https://github.com/docker/docker.github.io/tree/master/registry/storage-drivers/swift.md). |
| `oss` | Uses Aliyun OSS for object storage. See the [driver's reference documentation](https://github.com/docker/docker.github.io/tree/master/registry/storage-drivers/oss.md). |
For testing only, you can use the [`inmemory` storage
driver](https://github.com/docker/docker.github.io/tree/master/registry/storage-drivers/inmemory.md).
If you would like to run a registry from volatile memory, use the
[`filesystem` driver](https://github.com/docker/docker.github.io/tree/master/registry/storage-drivers/filesystem.md)
on a ramdisk.
If you are deploying a registry on Windows, 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, the length of the `PATH` to
the mount point must be within the `MAX_PATH` limits (typically 255 characters),
or this error will occur:
```none
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.
### `uploadpurging`
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. Defaults to `true`. |
| `age` | yes | Upload directories which are older than this age will be deleted.Defaults to `168h` (1 week). |
| `interval` | yes | The interval between upload directory purging. Defaults to `24h`. |
| `dryrun` | yes | Set `dryrun` to `true` to obtain a summary of what directories will be deleted. Defaults to `false`.|
> **Note**: `age` and `interval` are strings containing a number with optional
fraction and a unit suffix. Some examples: `45m`, `2h10m`, `168h`.
### `readonly`
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` structure 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:
```none
delete:
enabled: true
```
### `cache`
Use the `cache` structure to enable caching of data accessed in the storage
backend. Currently, the only available cache provides fast access to layer
metadata, which uses the `blobdescriptor` field if configured.
You can set `blobdescriptor` field to `redis` or `inmemory`. If set to `redis`,a
Redis pool caches layer metadata. If set to `inmemory`, an in-memory map caches
layer metadata.
> **NOTE**: Formerly, `blobdescriptor` was known as `layerinfo`. While these
> are equivalent, `layerinfo` has been deprecated.
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>

### `redirect`
The `redirect` subsection provides configuration for managing redirects from
content backends. For backends that support it, redirecting is enabled by
default. In certain deployment scenarios, you may decide 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 aggressively caching.
To disable redirects, add a single flag `disable`, set to `true`
under the `redirect` section:
```none
redirect:
disable: true
```
## `auth`
```none
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**. Possible auth providers include:
- [`silly`](#silly)
- [`token`](#token)
- [`htpasswd`](#htpasswd)
You can configure only one authentication provider.
### `silly`
The `silly` authentication provider is only appropriate for development. It simply checks
for the existence of the `Authorization` header in the HTTP request. It does not
check 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
for which access was denied.
The following values are used to configure the response:
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|-----------|----------|-------------------------------------------------------|
| `realm` | yes | The realm in which the registry server authenticates. |
| `service` | yes | The service being authenticated. |
### `token`
Token-based authentication allows you to decouple the authentication system from
the registry. It is an established authentication paradigm with a high degree of
security.
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|-----------|----------|-------------------------------------------------------|
| `realm` | yes | The realm in which the registry server authenticates. |
| `service` | yes | The service being authenticated. |
| `issuer` | yes | The name of the token issuer. The issuer inserts this into the token so it must match the value configured for the issuer. |
| `rootcertbundle` | yes | The absolute path to the root certificate bundle. This bundle contains the public part of the certificates used to sign authentication tokens. |
For more information about Token based authentication configuration, see the
[specification](spec/auth/token.md).
### `htpasswd`
The _htpasswd_ authentication backed allows you to configure basic
authentication using an
[Apache htpasswd file](https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/programs/htpasswd.html).
The only supported password format is
[`bcrypt`](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bcrypt). Entries with other hash types
are 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**: Only use the `htpasswd` authentication scheme with TLS
> configured, since basic authentication sends passwords as part of the HTTP
> header.
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|-----------|----------|-------------------------------------------------------|
| `realm` | yes | The realm in which the registry server authenticates. |
| `path` | yes | The path to the `htpasswd` file to load at startup. |
## `middleware`
The `middleware` structure is **optional**. Use this option to inject middleware at
named hook points. Each middleware must implement the same interface as the
object it is wrapping. For instance, a registry middleware must implement the
`distribution.Namespace` interface, while a repository middleware must implement
`distribution.Repository`, and a storage middleware must implement
`driver.StorageDriver`.
This is an example configuration of the `cloudfront` middleware, a storage
middleware:
```none
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`
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|-----------|----------|-------------------------------------------------------|
| `baseurl` | yes | The `SCHEME://HOST[/PATH]` at which Cloudfront is served. |
| `privatekey` | yes | The private key for Cloudfront, provided by AWS. |
| `keypairid` | yes | The key pair ID provided by AWS. |
| `duration` | no | An integer and unit for the duration of the Cloudfront session. Valid time units are `ns`, `us` (or `µs`), `ms`, `s`, `m`, or `h`. For example, `3000s` is valid, but `3000 s` is not. If you do not specify a `duration` or you specify an integer without a time unit, the duration defaults to `20m` (20 minutes).|
### `redirect`
You can use the `redirect` storage middleware 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`. |
## `reporting`
```
reporting:
bugsnag:
apikey: bugsnagapikey
releasestage: bugsnagreleasestage
endpoint: bugsnagendpoint
newrelic:
licensekey: newreliclicensekey
name: newrelicname
verbose: true
```
The `reporting` option is **optional** and configures error and metrics
reporting tools. At the moment only two services are supported:
- [Bugsnag](#bugsnag)
- [New Relic](#new-relic)
A valid configuration may contain both.
### `bugsnag`
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|-----------|----------|-------------------------------------------------------|
| `apikey` | yes | The API Key provided by Bugsnag. |
| `releasestage` | no | Tracks where the registry is deployed, using a string like `production`, `staging`, or `development`.|
| `endpoint`| no | The enterprise Bugsnag endpoint. |
### `newrelic`
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|-----------|----------|-------------------------------------------------------|
| `licensekey` | yes | License key provided by New Relic. |
| `name` | no | New Relic application name. |
| `verbose`| no | Set to `true` to enable New Relic debugging output on `stdout`. |
## `http`
```none
http:
addr: localhost:5000
net: tcp
prefix: /my/nested/registry/
host: https://myregistryaddress.org:5000
secret: asecretforlocaldevelopment
relativeurls: false
tls:
certificate: /path/to/x509/public
key: /path/to/x509/private
clientcas:
- /path/to/ca.pem
- /path/to/another/ca.pem
letsencrypt:
cachefile: /path/to/cache-file
email: emailused@letsencrypt.com
debug:
addr: localhost:5001
headers:
X-Content-Type-Options: [nosniff]
http2:
disabled: false
```
The `http` option details the configuration for the HTTP server that hosts the
registry.
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|-----------|----------|-------------------------------------------------------|
| `addr` | yes | The address for which the server should accept connections. The form depends on a network type (see the `net` option). Use `HOST:PORT` for TCP and `FILE` for a UNIX socket. |
| `net` | no | The network used to create a listening socket. Known networks are `unix` and `tcp`. |
| `prefix` | no | If the server does not run at the root path, set this to the value of the prefix. The root path is the section before `v2`. It requires both preceding and trailing slashes, such as in the example `/path/`. |
| `host` | no | A fully-qualified URL for an externally-reachable address for the registry. If present, it is used when creating generated URLs. Otherwise, these URLs are derived from client requests. |
| `secret` | no | A random piece of data used to sign state that may be stored with the client to protect against tampering. For production environments you should generate a random piece of data using a cryptographically secure random generator. If you omit the secret, the registry will automatically generate a secret when it starts. **If you are building a cluster of registries behind a load balancer, you MUST ensure the secret is the same for all registries.**|
| `relativeurls`| no | If `true`, the registry returns relative URLs in Location headers. The client is responsible for resolving the correct URL. **This option is not compatible with Docker 1.7 and earlier.**|
### `tls`
The `tls` structure within `http` is **optional**. Use this to configure TLS
for the server. If you already have a web server running on
the same host as the registry, you may prefer to configure TLS on that web server
and proxy connections to the registry server.
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|-----------|----------|-------------------------------------------------------|
| `certificate` | yes | Absolute path to the x509 certificate file. |
| `key` | yes | Absolute path to the x509 private key file. |
| `clientcas` | no | An array of absolute paths to x509 CA files. |
### `letsencrypt`
The `letsencrypt` structure within `tls` is **optional**. Use this to configure
TLS certificates provided by
[Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/how-it-works/).
>**NOTE**: When using Let's Encrypt, ensure that the outward-facing address is
> accessible on port `443`. The registry defaults to listening on port `5000`.
> If you run the registry as a container, consider adding the flag `-p 443:5000`
> to the `docker run` command or using a similar setting in a cloud
> configuration.
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|-----------|----------|-------------------------------------------------------|
| `cachefile` | yes | Absolute path to a file where the Let's Encrypt agent can cache data. |
| `email` | yes | The email address used to register with Let's Encrypt. |
### `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, which 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 file.
### `http2`
The `http2` structure within `http` is **optional**. Use this to control http2
settings for the registry.
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|-----------|----------|-------------------------------------------------------|
| `disabled` | no | If `true`, then `http2` support is disabled. |
## `notifications`
```none
notifications:
endpoints:
- name: alistener
disabled: false
url: https://my.listener.com/event
headers: <http.Header>
timeout: 1s
threshold: 10
backoff: 1s
ignoredmediatypes:
- application/octet-stream
```
The notifications option is **optional** and currently may contain a single
option, `endpoints`.
### `endpoints`
The `endpoints` structure contains a list of named services (URLs) that can
accept event notifications.
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|-----------|----------|-------------------------------------------------------|
| `name` | yes | A human-readable name for the service. |
| `disabled` | no | If `true`, notifications are disabled for the service.|
| `url` | yes | The URL to which events should be published. |
| `headers` | yes | A list of static headers to add to each request. Each header's name is a key beneath `headers`, and each value is a list of payloads for that header name. Values must always be lists. |
| `timeout` | yes | A value for the HTTP timeout. A positive integer and an optional suffix indicating the unit of time, which may be `ns`, `us`, `ms`, `s`, `m`, or `h`. If you omit the unit of time, `ns` is used. |
| `threshold` | yes | An integer specifying how long to wait before backing off a failure. |
| `backoff` | yes | How long the system backs off before retrying after a failure. A positive integer and an optional suffix indicating the unit of time, which may be `ns`, `us`, `ms`, `s`, `m`, or `h`. If you omit the unit of time, `ns` is used. |
| `ignoredmediatypes`|no| A list of target media types to ignore. Events with these target media types are not published to the endpoint. |
## `redis`
```none
redis:
addr: localhost:6379
password: asecret
db: 0
dialtimeout: 10ms
readtimeout: 10ms
writetimeout: 10ms
pool:
maxidle: 16
maxactive: 64
idletimeout: 300s
```
Declare parameters for constructing the `redis` connections. Registry instances
may use the Redis instance for several applications. Currently, it caches
information about immutable blobs. Most of the `redis` options control
how the registry connects to the `redis` instance. You can control the pool's
behavior with the [pool](#pool) subsection.
You should configure Redis with the **allkeys-lru** eviction policy, because the
registry does not set an expiration value on keys.
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|-----------|----------|-------------------------------------------------------|
| `addr` | yes | The address (host and port) of the Redis instance. |
| `password`| no | A password used to authenticate to the Redis instance.|
| `db` | no | The name of the database to use for each connection. |
| `dialtimeout` | no | The timeout for connecting to the Redis instance. |
| `readtimeout` | no | The timeout for reading from the Redis instance. |
| `writetimeout` | no | The timeout for writing to the Redis instance. |
### `pool`
```none
pool:
maxidle: 16
maxactive: 64
idletimeout: 300s
```
Use these settings to configure the behavior of the Redis connection pool.
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|-----------|----------|-------------------------------------------------------|
| `maxidle` | no | The maximum number of idle connections in the pool. |
| `maxactive`| no | The maximum number of connections which can be open before blocking a connection request. |
| `idletimeout`| no | How long to wait before closing inactive connections. |
## `health`
```none
health:
storagedriver:
enabled: true
interval: 10s
threshold: 3
file:
- file: /path/to/checked/file
interval: 10s
http:
- uri: http://server.to.check/must/return/200
headers:
Authorization: [Basic QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ==]
statuscode: 200
timeout: 3s
interval: 10s
threshold: 3
tcp:
- addr: redis-server.domain.com:6379
timeout: 3s
interval: 10s
threshold: 3
```
The health option is **optional**, and contains preferences for a periodic
health check on the storage driver's backend storage, as well as optional
periodic checks on local files, HTTP URIs, and/or TCP servers. The results of
the health checks are available at the `/debug/health` endpoint on the debug
HTTP server if the debug HTTP server is enabled (see http section).
### `storagedriver`
The `storagedriver` structure contains options for a health check on the
configured storage driver's backend storage. The health check is only active
when `enabled` is set to `true`.
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|-----------|----------|-------------------------------------------------------|
| `enabled` | yes | Set to `true` to enable storage driver health checks or `false` to disable them. |
| `interval`| no | How long to wait between repetitions of the storage driver health check. A positive integer and an optional suffix indicating the unit of time. The suffix is one of `ns`, `us`, `ms`, `s`, `m`, or `h`. Defaults to `10s` if the value is omitted. If you specify a value but omit the suffix, the value is interpreted as a number of nanoseconds. |
| `threshold`| no | A positive integer which represents the number of times the check must fail before the state is marked as unhealthy. If not specified, a single failure marks the state as unhealthy. |
### `file`
The `file` structure includes a list of paths to be periodically checked for the\
existence of a file. If a file exists at the given path, the health check will
fail. You can use this mechanism to bring a registry out of rotation by creating
a file.
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|-----------|----------|-------------------------------------------------------|
| `file` | yes | The path to check for existence of a file. |
| `interval`| no | How long to wait before repeating the check. A positive integer and an optional suffix indicating the unit of time. The suffix is one of `ns`, `us`, `ms`, `s`, `m`, or `h`. Defaults to `10s` if the value is omitted. If you specify a value but omit the suffix, the value is interpreted as a number of nanoseconds. |
### `http`
The `http` structure includes a list of HTTP URIs to periodically check with
`HEAD` requests. If a `HEAD` request does not complete or returns an unexpected
status code, the health check will fail.
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|-----------|----------|-------------------------------------------------------|
| `uri` | yes | The URI to check. |
| `headers` | no | Static headers to add to each request. Each header's name is a key beneath `headers`, and each value is a list of payloads for that header name. Values must always be lists. |
| `statuscode` | no | The expected status code from the HTTP URI. Defaults to `200`. |
| `timeout` | no | How long to wait before timing out the HTTP request. A positive integer and an optional suffix indicating the unit of time. The suffix is one of `ns`, `us`, `ms`, `s`, `m`, or `h`. If you specify a value but omit the suffix, the value is interpreted as a number of nanoseconds. |
| `interval`| no | How long to wait before repeating the check. A positive integer and an optional suffix indicating the unit of time. The suffix is one of `ns`, `us`, `ms`, `s`, `m`, or `h`. Defaults to `10s` if the value is omitted. If you specify a value but omit the suffix, the value is interpreted as a number of nanoseconds. |
| `threshold`| no | The number of times the check must fail before the state is marked as unhealthy. If this field is not specified, a single failure marks the state as unhealthy. |
### `tcp`
The `tcp` structure includes a list of TCP addresses to periodically check using
TCP connection attempts. Addresses must include port numbers. If a connection
attempt fails, the health check will fail.
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|-----------|----------|-------------------------------------------------------|
| `addr` | yes | The TCP address and port to connect to. |
| `timeout` | no | How long to wait before timing out the TCP connection. A positive integer and an optional suffix indicating the unit of time. The suffix is one of `ns`, `us`, `ms`, `s`, `m`, or `h`. If you specify a value but omit the suffix, the value is interpreted as a number of nanoseconds. |
| `interval`| no | How long to wait between repetitions of the check. A positive integer and an optional suffix indicating the unit of time. The suffix is one of `ns`, `us`, `ms`, `s`, `m`, or `h`. Defaults to `10s` if the value is omitted. If you specify a value but omit the suffix, the value is interpreted as a number of nanoseconds. |
| `threshold`| no | The number of times the check must fail before the state is marked as unhealthy. If this field is not specified, a single failure marks the state as unhealthy. |
## `proxy`
```
proxy:
remoteurl: https://registry-1.docker.io
username: [username]
password: [password]
```
The `proxy` structure allows a registry to be configured as a pull-through cache
to Docker Hub. See
[mirror](https://github.com/docker/docker.github.io/tree/master/registry/recipes/mirror.md)
for more information. Pushing to a registry configured as a pull-through cache
is unsupported.
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|-----------|----------|-------------------------------------------------------|
| `remoteurl`| yes | The URL for the repository on Docker Hub. |
| `username` | no | The username registered with Docker Hub which has access to the repository. |
| `password` | no | The password used to authenticate to Docker Hub using the username specified in `username`. |
To enable pulling private repositories (e.g. `batman/robin`) specify the
username (such as `batman`) and the password for that username.
> **Note**: These private repositories are stored in the proxy cache's storage.
> Take appropriate measures to protect access to the proxy cache.
## `compatibility`
```none
compatibility:
schema1:
signingkeyfile: /etc/registry/key.json
```
Use the `compatibility` structure to configure handling of older and deprecated
features. Each subsection defines such a feature with configurable behavior.
### `schema1`
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|-----------|----------|-------------------------------------------------------|
| `signingkeyfile` | no | The signing private key used to add signatures to `schema1` manifests. If no signing key is provided, a new ECDSA key is generated when the registry starts. |
## `validation`
```none
validation:
manifests:
urls:
allow:
- ^https?://([^/]+\.)*example\.com/
deny:
- ^https?://www\.example\.com/
```
### `disabled`
The `disabled` flag disables the other options in the `validation`
section. They are enabled by default. This option deprecates the `enabled` flag.
### `manifests`
Use the `manifests` subsection to configure validation of manifests. If
`disabled` is `false`, the validation allows nothing.
#### `urls`
The `allow` and `deny` options are each a list of
[regular expressions](https://godoc.org/regexp/syntax) that restrict the URLs in
pushed manifests.
If `allow` is unset, pushing a manifest containing URLs fails.
If `allow` is set, pushing a manifest succeeds only if all URLs match
one of the `allow` regular expressions **and** one of the following holds:
1. `deny` is unset.
2. `deny` is set but no URLs within the manifest match any of the `deny` regular
expressions.
## Example: Development configuration
You can use this simple example for local development:
```none
version: 0.1
log:
level: debug
storage:
filesystem:
rootdirectory: /var/lib/registry
http:
addr: localhost:5000
secret: asecretforlocaldevelopment
debug:
addr: localhost:5001
```
This example configures the registry instance to run on port `5000`, binding to
`localhost`, with the `debug` server enabled. Registry data is stored in the
`/var/lib/registry` directory. Logging is set to `debug` mode, which is the most
verbose.
See
[config-example.yml](https://github.com/docker/distribution/blob/master/cmd/registry/config-example.yml)
for another simple configuration. Both examples are generally useful for local
development.
## Example: Middleware configuration
This example configures [Amazon Cloudfront](http://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/)
as the storage middleware in a registry. Middleware allows the registry to serve
layers via a content delivery network (CDN). This reduces requests to the
storage layer.
Cloudfront requires the S3 storage driver.
This is the configuration expressed in YAML:
```none
middleware:
storage:
- name: cloudfront
disabled: false
options:
baseurl: http://d111111abcdef8.cloudfront.net
privatekey: /path/to/asecret.pem
keypairid: asecret
duration: 60s
```
See the configuration reference for [Cloudfront](#cloudfront) for more
information about configuration options.
> **Note**: Cloudfront keys exist separately from other AWS keys. See
> [the documentation on AWS credentials](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-security-credentials.html)
> for more information.
