Registry

ARCOS Registry

ARCOS and Nectar have created a ARCOS National Registry. It has the following features

Mirror

The registry mirrors the following repos

• docker.io at registry.rc.nectar.org.au/docker.io
• quay.io at registry.rc.nectar.org.au/quay.io

You can use this to get around docker rate limits, as this registry caches the containers that are pulled through it.

Original location	Mirror location
docker.io/ubuntu	registry.rc.nectar.org.au/docker.io/library/ubuntu
docker.io/sonobuoy/sonobuoy	registry.rc.nectar.org.au/docker.io/sonobuoy/sonobuoy

For example, instead of doing a docker pull docker.io/ubuntu, do a docker pull registry.rc.nectar.org.au/docker.io/library/ubuntu.

You can also edit your local configs to use the mirror transparently. For some container engines like podman, set ~/.config/containers/registries.conf to be like

[[registry]]
prefix="quay.io"
location="registry.rc.nectar.org.au/quay.io"

[[registry]]
prefix="docker.io"
location="registry.rc.nectar.org.au/docker.io"

This will transparently convert a pull of e.g. docker.io/sonobuoy/sonobuoy to registry.rc.nectar.org.au/docker.io/sonobuoy/sonobuoy
