In Google Search: Inurl:server Filetype:key “-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----”As someone in the issue mentioned that "local registries don't have authentication", here's a shameless plug for a free software (self-hostable) replacement for the Docker Hub (which has authentication -- even LDAP support, and at SUSE we're working on adding token-based authentication and automated build systems that also rebuild derived images): https://github.com/SUSE/Portus. The solution of "just prepend the registry you use to your image names" is quite frustrating because it means that pushing and pulling is intertwined with the names of the things you're pushing and pulling. It should've been implemented as a flag in the CLI (or even a flag in the daemon for the "default registry").
In Docker and Security [pdf]Cool. Is there any other Docker registry web fronted and/or user and ACL tool besides this and cesanta/docker_auth?
Some notes (IMO):
- would be more cool to package this as a single docker image which people can docker pull
- rather than supplying a registry image, I'd just instruct people what they need to set in their registry (seems that those are atm notification[endpoints] and auth[token]).
- supervisor sucks, is there really no other way to do async tasks with Docker and Rails? I'd even rather do it from another container rather than with supervisor.
- this https://github.com/SUSE/Portus/blob/master/docker/registry/e... is ugly and needs special entrypoint. Why not just force a link name to the registry in the compose file?
Overall the project looks great and I'm gonna try it out!
In Portus – Docker Registry Web UINo UI out of the box (Registry:v2). DTR has a 'health' UI that is pretty worthless since you can't browse images. There are other frontend tools that work with registry:v2 though, such as Portus:
