## Use-case
|
|
|
|
This is useful if you intend to run a registry server natively on macOS.
|
|
|
|
### Alternatives
|
|
|
|
You can start a VM on macOS, and deploy your registry normally as a container using Docker inside that VM.
|
|
|
|
The simplest road to get there is traditionally to use the [docker Toolbox](https://www.docker.com/toolbox), or [docker-machine](/machine/index.md), which usually relies on the [boot2docker](http://boot2docker.io/) iso inside a VirtualBox VM.
|
|
|
|
### Solution
|
|
|
|
Using the method described here, you install and compile your own from the git repository and run it as an macOS agent.
|
|
|
|
### Gotchas
|
|
|
|
Production services operation on macOS is out of scope of this document. Be sure you understand well these aspects before considering going to production with this.

If you don't, the TLDR is:
|
|
|
|
bash < <(curl -s -S -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/moovweb/gvm/master/binscripts/gvm-installer)
|
|
source ~/.gvm/scripts/gvm
|
|
gvm install go1.4.2
|
|
gvm use go1.4.2

## Checkout the Docker Distribution source tree
|
|
|
|
mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/docker
|
|
git clone https://github.com/docker/distribution.git $GOPATH/src/github.com/docker/distribution
|
|
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/docker/distribution
|
|
|
|
## Build the binary
|
|
|
|
GOPATH=$(PWD)/Godeps/_workspace:$GOPATH make binaries
|
|
sudo cp bin/registry /usr/local/libexec/registry
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
Copy the registry configuration file in place:
|
|
|
|
mkdir /Users/Shared/Registry
|
|
cp docs/osx/config.yml /Users/Shared/Registry/config.yml
|
|
|
|
## Running the Docker Registry under launchd
|
|
|
|
Copy the Docker registry plist into place:
|
|
|
|
plutil -lint docs/osx/com.docker.registry.plist
|
|
cp docs/osx/com.docker.registry.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents/
|
|
chmod 644 ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.docker.registry.plist
|
|
|
|
Start the Docker registry:
|
|
|
|
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.docker.registry.plist
|
|
|
|
### Restarting the docker registry service
|
|
|
|
launchctl stop com.docker.registry
|
|
launchctl start com.docker.registry
|
|
|
|
### Unloading the docker registry service
|
|
|
|
launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.docker.registry.plist
|
