Olivier Gambier 5df53c0681 Documentation enhancements
Making metadata:
- more consistent
- more specific (fixed copy pasting)
- refine coverage

Insecure information cleanup

Removing no longer used files:
- mkdocs is gone
- the registry diagram is not used, and is a bit silly :)

Minor fixes

Fixing links

Recipes:
- harmonized code sections style to the rest of the docs
- harmonized recipe "style"
- listing new recipes

Enhance deploying

# OS X Setup Guide
## Use-case
This is useful if you intend to run a registry server natively on OSX.
### Alternatives
You can start a VM on OSX, 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](https://docs.docker.com/machine/), 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 OSX agent.
### Gotchas
Production services operation on OSX is out of scope of this document. Be sure you understand well these aspects before considering going to production with this.
## Setup golang on your machine
If you know, safely skip to the next section.
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
If you want to understand, you should read [How to Write Go Code](https://golang.org/doc/code.html).
## 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
