Configuration

Below is a comprehensive example of all possible configuration options for the registry. Some options are mutually exclusive, and each section is explained in more detail below, but this is a good starting point from which you may delete the sections you do not need to create your own configuration. A copy of this configuration can be found at config.sample.yml.

N.B. In some instances a configuration option may be marked optional but contain child options marked as required. This indicates that a parent may be omitted with all its children, however, if the parent is included, the children marked required must be included.

version

version: 0.1

The version option is required and indicates the version of the configuration being used. It is expected to remain a top-level field, to allow for a consistent version check before parsing the remainder of the configuration file.

N.B. The version of the registry software may be found at /version/version.go

loglevel

loglevel: debug

The loglevel option is required and sets the sensitivity of logging output. Permitted values are:

  • error
  • warn
  • info
  • debug

storage

storage:
	filesystem:
		rootdirectory: /tmp/registry
	azure:
		accountname: accountname
		accountkey: base64encodedaccountkey
		container: containername
	s3:
		accesskey: awsaccesskey
		secretkey: awssecretkey
		region: us-west-1
		bucket: bucketname
		encrypt: true
		secure: true
		v4auth: true
		chunksize: 32000
		rootdirectory: /s3/object/name/prefix

The storage option is required and defines which storage backend is in use. At the moment only one backend may be configured, an error is returned when the registry is started with more than one storage backend configured.

The following backends may be configured, all options for a given storage backend are required:

filesystem

This storage backend uses the local disk to store registry files. It is ideal for development and may be appropriate for some small scale production applications.

  • rootdirectory: Required - This is the absolute path to directory in which the repository will store data.

azure

This storage backend uses Microsoft's Azure Storage platform.

  • accountname: Required - Azure account name
  • accountkey: Required - Azure account key
  • container: Required - Name of the Azure container into which data will be stored

S3

This storage backend uses Amazon's Simple Storage Service (a.k.a. S3).

  • accesskey: Required - Your AWS Access Key
  • secretkey: Required - Your AWS Secret Key.
  • region: Required - The AWS region in which your bucket exists. For the moment, the Go AWS library in use does not use the newer DNS based bucket routing.
  • bucket: Required - The bucket name in which you want to store the registry's data.
  • encrypt: TODO: fill in description
  • secure: TODO: fill in description
  • v4auth: This indicates whether Version 4 of AWS's authentication should be used. Generally you will want to set this to true.
  • chunksize: TODO: fill in description
  • rootdirectory: Optional - This is a prefix that will be applied to all S3 keys to allow you to segment data in your bucket if necessary.

auth

auth:
	silly:
		realm: silly-realm
		service: silly-service
	token:
		realm: token-realm
		service: token-service
		issuer: registry-token-issuer
		rootcertbundle: /root/certs/bundle

The auth option is optional as there are use cases (i.e. a mirror that only permits pulls) for which authentication may not be desired. There are currently 2 possible auth providers, "silly" and "token", only one auth provider may be configured at the moment:

silly

The "silly" auth is only for development purposes. It simply checks for the existence of the "Authorization" header in the HTTP request, with no regard for the value of the header. If the header does not exist, it will respond with a challenge response, echoing back the realm, service, and scope that access was denied for.

The values of the realm and service options are used in authentication reponses, both options are required

  • realm: Required - The realm in which the registry server authenticates.
  • service: Required - The service being authenticated.

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.

  • realm: Required - The realm in which the registry server authenticates.
  • service: Required - The service being authenticated.
  • issuer: Required - The name of the token issuer. The issuer inserts this into the token so it must match the value configured for the issuer.
  • rootcertbundle: Required - The absolute path to the root certificate bundle containing the public part of the certificates that will be used to sign authentication tokens.

For more information about Token based authentication configuration, see the specification.

middleware

The middleware option is optional and allows middlewares to be injected at named hook points. A requirement of all middlewares is that they implement the same interface as the object they're wrapping. This means a registry middleware must implement the distribution.Registry interface, repository middleware must implement distribution.Respository, and storage middleware must implement driver.StorageDriver.

Currently only one middleware, cloudfront, a storage middleware, is included in the registry.

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: 3000

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{} and as such will support 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

  • baseurl: Required - SCHEME://HOST[/PATH] at which Cloudfront is served.
  • privatekey: Required - Private Key for Cloudfront provided by AWS
  • keypairid: Required - Key Pair ID provided by AWS
  • duration: Optional - Duration for which a signed URL should be valid

reporting

reporting:
	bugsnag:
		apikey: bugsnagapikey
		releasestage: bugsnagreleasestage
		endpoint: bugsnagendpoint
	newrelic:
		licensekey: newreliclicensekey
		name: newrelicname

The reporting option is optional and configures error and metrics reporting tools. At the moment only two services are supported, New Relic and Bugsnag, a valid configuration may contain both.

bugsnag

  • apikey: Required - API Key provided by Bugsnag
  • releasestage: Optional - TODO: fill in description
  • endpoint: Optional - TODO: fill in description

newrelic

  • licensekey: Required - License key provided by New Relic
  • name: Optional - New Relic application name

http

http:
	addr: localhost:5000
	prefix: /my/nested/registry/
	secret: asecretforlocaldevelopment
	tls:
		certificate: /path/to/x509/public
		key: /path/to/x509/private
	debug:
		addr: localhost:5001

The http option details the configuration for the HTTP server that hosts the registry.

  • addr: Required - The HOST:PORT for which the server should accept connections.
  • prefix: Optional - If the server will not run at the root path, this should specify the prefix (the part of the path before v2). It should have both preceding and trailing slashes.
  • secret: A random piece of data. It is used to sign state that may be stored with the client to protect against tampering. For production use you should generate a random piece of data using a cryptographically secure random generator.

tls

The tls option within http is optional and allows you to configure SSL 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 SSL termination there and proxy connections to the registry server.

  • certificate: Required - Absolute path to x509 cert file
  • key: Required - Absolute path to x509 private key file

debug

The debug option is optional and allows you to configure a debug server that can be helpful in diagnosing problems. It is of most use to contributers to the distribution repository and should generally be disabled in production deployments.

  • addr: Required - The HOST:PORT on which the debug server should accept connections.

notifications

notifications:
	endpoints: 
		- name: alistener
		  disabled: false
		  url: https://my.listener.com/event
		  headers: <http.Header>
		  timeout: 500
		  threshold: 5
		  backoff: 1000

The notifications option is optional and currently may contain a single option, endpoints.

endpoints

Endpoints is a list of named services (URLs) that can accept event notifications.

  • name: Required - A human readable name for the service.
  • disabled: Optional - A boolean to enable/disable notifications for a service.
  • url: Required - The URL to which events should be published.
  • headers: Required - TODO: fill in description
  • timeout: Required - TODO: fill in description
  • threshold: Required - TODO: fill in description
  • backoff: Required - TODO: fill in description
