Manage Docker repositories

📘

If you are an Enterprise user, please use the Docker for Enterprise page and learn how to manage your Docker repositories in the Enterprise context.

Overview

Manage your Docker repositories by specifying privacy settings and designating specific levels of access for each member of your repository. A repository (or "repo") is a container which holds multiple revisions of a docker image.

Furthermore, each revision is called a "tag" and every image is described by the repository name and a tag, e.g. <repository_name>[:tag].

Create a repository

1. Click on Developer in the main menu bar and choose Docker registry.
2. Click Create repository.

3. Enter the name of your repository. Repository name must be at least 3 characters long and can only contain lowercase letters, numbers, ., - and _.
4. Choose if your repository will be private or public (see below).
5. Click Create.

Your repository is now created. The next step pushing an image to your repository.

Alternatively you can create a repository by pushing an image from your local machine to the Seven Bridges image registry. The visibility of the repository will be set to private by default.

Adjust privacy settings

1. Click on Developer in the main menu bar and choose Docker registry.
2. Click the cog icon next to the desired repository. You can now see repository settings.
3. In the Privacy section adjust your repository's privacy settings (see below for details about each of the privacy settings):
   • If your repository is currently a public repository, you will see the Make private button. Clicking this button will make the repository private.
   • If your repository is currently a private repository, you will see the Make public button. Clicking this button will make the repository public.

What each of the repository privacy settings means.

• read - the member will be allowed to view the contents of the repository
• copy - the member will be allowed to pull images from the repository
