debops.docker_registry

The debops.docker_registry Ansible role can be used to install and manage a Docker Registry instance. A Docker Registry is a service which allows you to publish and distribute Docker container images. It can be used to create a private, local alternative to a Docker Hub.

By default the role installs the Registry using an OS package on supported OS releases; on older OS releases without the Registry packaged in the repositories the role can download the official upstream release from GitHub and build a Go docker-registry binary automatically.

The role integrates with the debops.gitlab and debops.redis_server Ansible roles to provide backend support for the GitLab Container Registry service. Docker Registry can be installed as standalone service, in which case it will be secured using HTTP Basic Authentication provided by the debops.nginx role.
