Overview

Creating a private registry in Dockreg allows you to store and manage your Docker images securely. Registries are scoped to your organization and provide enterprise-grade security and performance.

Prerequisites

Before creating a registry, ensure the following:

• You have an active Dockreg account. Sign up at dockreg.com if you don’t have one.
• You belong to an organization. If you haven’t created an organization yet, do so from your account dashboard under the “Organizations” section.
• Your plan supports private registries:
  • Starter: 1 registry
  • Team: Up to 4 registries
  • Enterprise: Unlimited registries

Creating a Registry via the UI

1. Log in to your Dockreg account at https://dockreg.com/dashboard.
2. Navigate to your organization’s dashboard by selecting the organization from the top navigation.
3. In the sidebar, click on Registries.
4. Click the Create New Registry button.
5. Enter a unique name for your registry (e.g., My App Registry). Names can include spaces, uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens.
6. Optionally, add a description for the registry.
7. Configure any initial settings, such as enabling vulnerability scanning (available in Beta for selected users).
8. Click Create. Your registry will be provisioned in under 1 minute.
9. Once created, note the registry URL (e.g., myapp.registry.dockreg.com). This is used for Docker commands.

Your new registry is now ready. After creation, it will appear in the Registries list with details such as size, number of images, status (e.g., ACTIVE), and last activity. You can start pushing images immediately.

Programmatic creation of registries via API is planned for future releases. Currently, use the UI to create registries.

Next Steps

• Push your first image using the provided Docker commands.
• Invite team members via the Organizations settings.
• Set up vulnerability scanning if enabled.
• Monitor usage in the dashboard.
