I’m going to need docker images and I don’t want to use a public repository.

There’s a Official repo called registry, now we can create our own image store.

Let’s create a new stack!

First we need to create the network:

docker network create registry_network --scope swarm

And we need a file to save the Basic Auth. Remember this user and password

mkdir -p registry/auth && mkdir -p registry/data
echo $(htpasswd -nb user password) | sed -e s/\\$/\\$\\$/g > registry/auth/registry.password

Into Portainer go to Stacks and press “+ Add stack”.

portainer stack

Choose a name and paste this configuration:

version: "3.3"

services:

  registry:
    image: registry:2
    environment:
      REGISTRY_AUTH: htpasswd
      REGISTRY_AUTH_HTPASSWD_PATH: /auth/registry.password
      REGISTRY_AUTH_HTPASSWD_REALM: Registry
    volumes:
      - ./registry/data:/var/lib/registry
      - ./registry/auth:/auth
    networks:
      - registry_network
      - portainer_default
    labels:
      - "traefik.enable=true"
      - "traefik.docker.network=portainer_default"
      - "traefik.http.routers.registry.rule=(Host(`registry.yourdomain.com`))"
      - "traefik.http.routers.registry.entrypoints=websecure"
      - "traefik.http.services.registry.loadbalancer.server.port=5000"
      - "traefik.http.services.registry.loadBalancer.sticky.cookie=true"
      - "traefik.http.routers.registry.service=registry"
      - "traefik.http.routers.registry.tls=true"
      - "traefik.http.routers.registry.tls.certresolver=leresolver"

networks:
  portainer_default:
    external: true
  registry_network:
    external: true

portainer add stack

Press deploy button and wait some seconds ⧖.

If everythig gone well you should login.

# docker login -u user -p password registry.contabo.bdunk.com
Login Succeeded

here you can find a very simple sample to make a image.

Building the image:

docker build .

Listing the images with docker images`

REPOSITORY   TAG             IMAGE ID       CREATED         SIZE
<none>       <none>          60081ed32117   5 minutes ago   133MB

A quick test for the image:

docker run -p 8888:80 60081ed32117

Making a curl:

# curl localhost:8888
hello conch

Creating a tag for the image:

docker image tag 60081ed32117 registry.yourdomain.com/your-username/nginx-test:latest

And then push 🚀

# docker push registry.yourdomain.com/your-username/nginx-test
The push refers to repository [registry.yourdomain.com/moncho/nginx-test]
0b411e19d514: Pushed

Yes! The image is now into the repository. Good Job!

Next part is about how to make auto deploys.

See you soon in part 4.
