# 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**: If an environment variable changes a map value into a string, such
>as replacing the storage driver type with `REGISTRY_STORAGE=filesystem`, then
>all sub-fields will be erased. As such, specifying the storage type in the
>environment will remove all parameters related to the old storage
>configuration (order *matters*).
## 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

<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>

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.
loglevel: debug
Permitted values are `error`, `warn`, `info` and `debug`. The default is
`info`.

dryrun: false
redirect:
disable: false
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.
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.
### 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
metadata. This, if configured, uses the `blobdescriptor` field.
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.
>**NOTE**: Formerly, `blobdescriptor` was known as `layerinfo`. While these
>are equivalent, `layerinfo` has been deprecated, in favor or
>`blobdescriptor`.
### 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 colocated 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
### 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 Blob Storage.

### Maintenance
Currently the registry can perform one maintenance function: upload purging. This 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).

## 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>
<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 and
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>
<tr>
<td>
<code>realm</code>
</td>
<td>
yes
</td>
<td>
The realm in which the registry server authenticates.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<code>path</code>
</td>
<td>
yes
</td>
<td>
Path to htpasswd file to load at startup.
</td>
</tr>
</table>
## 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.Repository`, and storage middleware must implement
`driver.StorageDriver`.
Currently only one middleware, `cloudfront`, a storage middleware, is supported
in the registry implementation.
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>

</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. This
configuration parameter may be omitted, in which case the registry will automatically
generate a secret at launch.
<p />
<b>WARNING: If you are building a cluster of registries behind a load balancer, you MUST
ensure the secret is the same for all registries.</b>
</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.

### 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
headers: <http.Header>
timeout: 500
threshold: 5
backoff: 1000
The notifications option is **optional** and currently may contain a single
option, `endpoints`.

Declare parameters for constructing the redis connections. Registry instances
may use the Redis instance for several applications. The current purpose is
caching information about immutable blobs. Most of the options below control
how the registry connects to redis. You can control the pool's behavior
with the [pool](#pool) subsection.
It's advisable to configure Redis itself with the **allkeys-lru** eviction policy
as the registry does not set an expire value on keys.

## 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.md](mirror.md) for more information
<table>
<tr>
<th>Parameter</th>
<th>Required</th>
<th>Description</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<code>remoteurl</code>
</td>

The username of the Docker Hub account
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<code>password</code>
</td>
<td>
no
</td>

</td>
</tr>
</table>
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.
## 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.
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/general/latest/gr/aws-security-credentials.html)
>for more information.
