+# Distribution
+
+This repository provides container images for the Open Source Registry implementation for storing and distributing container artifacts in conformance with the
+[OCI Distribution Specification](https://github.com/opencontainers/distribution-spec).
+
+<img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/distribution/distribution/main/distribution-logo.svg" width="200px" />
+
+[![Build Status](https://github.com/distribution/distribution/workflows/CI/badge.svg?branch=main&event=push)](https://github.com/distribution/distribution/actions?query=workflow%3ACI)
+[![OCI Conformance](https://github.com/distribution/distribution/workflows/conformance/badge.svg)](https://github.com/distribution/distribution/actions?query=workflow%3Aconformance)
+[![License: Apache-2.0](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-Apache--2.0-blue.svg)](LICENSE)
+
+## Quick start
+
+Run the registry locally with the [default configuration](https://github.com/distribution/distribution/blob/main/cmd/registry/config-dev.yml):
+```
+docker run -d -p 5000:5000 --restart always --name registry distribution/distribution:edge
+```
+
+*NOTE:* in order to run push/pull against the locally run registry you must allow
+your docker (containerd) engine to use _insecure_ registry by editing `/etc/docker/daemon.json` and subsequently restarting it
+```
+{
+     "insecure-registries": ["host.docker.internal:5000"]
+}
+```
+
+Now you are ready to use it:
+```
+docker pull alpine
+docker tag alpine localhost:5000/alpine
+docker push localhost:5000/alpine
+```
+
+⚠️  Beware the default configuration uses [`filesystem` storage driver](https://github.com/distribution/distribution/blob/main/docs/storage-drivers/filesystem.md)
+and the above example command does not mount a local filesystem volume into the running container.
+If you wish to mount the local filesystem to the `rootdirectory` of the
+`filesystem` storage driver run the following command:
+```
+docker run -d -p 5000:5000 $PWD/FS/PATH:/var/lib/registry --restart always --name registry distribution/distribution:edge
+```
+
+### Custom configuration
+
+If you don't wan to use the default configuration file, you can supply
+your own custom configuration file as follows:
+```
+docker run -d -p 5000:5000 $PWD/PATH/TO/config.yml:/etc/docker/registry/config.yml --restart always --name registry distribution/distribution:edge
+```
+
+## Communication
+
+For async communication and long-running discussions please use issues and pull requests
+on the [GitHub repo](https://github.com/distribution/distribution).
+
+For sync communication we have a #distribution channel in the [CNCF Slack](https://slack.cncf.io/)
+that everyone is welcome to join and chat about development.
