# Registry Configuration Reference
You configure a registry server using a YAML file. This page explains the
configuration options and the values they can take. You'll also find examples of
middleware and development environment configurations.
## 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
```yaml
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.
```yaml
log:
level: debug
formatter: text
fields:
service: registry
environment: staging
```
<table>
<tr>
<th>Parameter</th>
<th>Required</th>
<th>Description</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<code>level</code>
</td>
<td>
no
</td>
<td>
Sets the sensitivity of logging output. Permitted values are
<code>error</code>, <code>warn</code>, <code>info</code> and
<code>debug</code>. The default is <code>info</code>.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<code>formatter</code>
</td>
<td>
no
</td>
<td>
This selects the format of logging output. The format primarily affects how keyed
attributes for a log line are encoded. Options are <code>text</code>, <code>json</code> or
<code>logstash</code>. The default is <code>text</code>.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<code>fields</code>
</td>
<td>
no
</td>
<td>
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.
</td>
</table>
## loglevel
> **DEPRECATED:** Please use [log](#log) instead.
```yaml
loglevel: debug
```
Permitted values are `error`, `warn`, `info` and `debug`. The default is
`info`.
## storage
```yaml
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: 5242880
rootdirectory: /s3/object/name/prefix
cache:
layerinfo: inmemory
```
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.
### 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
metadata. This, if configured, uses the `layerinfo` field.
You can set `layerinfo` field to `redis` or `inmemory`. The `redis` value uses
a Redis pool to cache layer metadata. The `inmemory` value uses an in memory
map.
### filesystem
The `filesystem` 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.
This backend has a single, required `rootdirectory` parameter. The parameter
specifies the absolute path to a directory. The registry stores all its data
here so make sure there is adequate space available.
### azure
This storage backend uses Microsoft's Azure Storage platform.
<table>
<tr>
<th>Parameter</th>
<th>Required</th>
<th>Description</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<code>accountname</code>
</td>

</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<code>container</code>
</td>
<td>
yes
</td>

<code>false</code>.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<code>chunksize</code>
</td>
<td>
no
</td>
<td>
The S3 API requires multipart upload chunks to be at least 5MB. This value
should be a number that is larger than 5*1024*1024.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<code>rootdirectory</code>
</td>
<td>
no
</td>
<td>
This is a prefix that will be applied to all S3 keys to allow you to segment data in your bucket if necessary.
</td>
</tr>
</table>
## auth
```yaml
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`. 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>
<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.]
## middleware
The `middleware` option is **optional**. Use this option to inject middleware at
named hook points. All middlewares 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.Respository`, and storage middleware must implement
`driver.StorageDriver`.
Currently only one middleware, `cloudfront`, a storage middleware, is supported
in the registry implementation.
```yaml
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{}`. 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>
<th>Description</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<code>baseurl</code>
</td>
<td>
yes
</td>
<td>
<code>SCHEME://HOST[/PATH]</code> at which Cloudfront is served.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<code>privatekey</code>
</td>
<td>
yes
</td>
<td>
Private Key for Cloudfront provided by AWS.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<code>keypairid</code>
</td>
<td>
yes
</td>
<td>
Key pair ID provided by AWS.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<code>duration</code>
</td>
<td>
no
</td>
<td>
Duration for which a signed URL should be valid.
</td>
</tr>
</table>
## 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, [New
Relic](http://newrelic.com/) and [Bugsnag](http://bugsnag.com), a valid
configuration may contain both.
### bugsnag
<table>

## http
```yaml
http:
addr: localhost:5000
prefix: /my/nested/registry/
secret: asecretforlocaldevelopment
tls:
certificate: /path/to/x509/public
key: /path/to/x509/private
clientcas:
- /path/to/ca.pem
- /path/to/another/ca.pem
debug:
addr: localhost:5001
```
The `http` option details the configuration for the HTTP server that hosts the registry.
<table>
<tr>
<th>Parameter</th>
<th>Required</th>
<th>Description</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<code>addr</code>
</td>
<td>
yes
</td>
<td>
The <code>HOST:PORT</code> for which the server should accept connections.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>

prefix. The root path is the section before <code>v2</code>. It
should have both preceding and trailing slashes, for example <code>/path/</code>.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<code>secret</code>
</td>
<td>
yes
</td>
<td>
A random piece of data. This is 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.
</td>
</tr>
</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.
<table>
<tr>
<th>Parameter</th>
<th>Required</th>
<th>Description</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<code>certificate</code>
</td>
<td>
yes
</td>
<td>
Absolute path to x509 cert file

</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<code>clientcas</code>
</td>
<td>
no
</td>
<td>
An array of absolute paths to a x509 CA file
</td>
</tr>
</table>
### debug
The `debug` option is **optional** . Use it to configure a debug server that can
be helpful in diagnosing problems. Contributors to the distribution repository
should find the debug server useful. Docker recommends disabling it in
production environments.
The `debug` section takes a single, required `addr` parameter. This parameter
specifies the `HOST:PORT` on which the debug server should accept connections.
## notifications
```yaml
notifications:
endpoints:
- name: alistener
disabled: false
url: https://my.listener.com/event
headers: <http.Header>

<li><code>ms</code> (milliseconds)</li>
<li><code>s</code> (seconds)</li>
<li><code>m</code> (minutes)</li>
<li><code>h</code> (hours)</li>
</ul>
If you omit the suffix, the system interprets the value as nanoseconds.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<code>threshold</code>
</td>
<td>
yes
</td>
<td>
An integer specifying how long to wait before backing off a failure.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>

## Example: Development configuration
The following is a simple example you can use for local development:
```yaml
version: 0.1
log:
level: debug
storage:
filesystem:
rootdirectory: /tmp/registry-dev
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
`/tmp/registry-dev` directory. Logging is in `debug` mode, which is the most
verbose.
A similar simple configuration is available at
[config.yml](https://github.com/docker/distribution/blob/master/cmd/registry/config.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.
Currently, 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/AWSSecurityCredentials/1.0/AboutAWSCredentials.html#KeyPairs)
>for more information.
