Introduction

OpenRegistry is an open source, decentralized container registry which is fully compliant with OCI Container Distribution Specification. The specification provides similar capabilities as that of the Docker Registry HTTP API V2 protocol.

Why OpenRegistry?

For the longest time, we have relied on DockerHub to host and distribute our container images (both private and public). OpenRegistry tries to provide a decentralized alternative to that by running a community driven container registry, for People by People.

OpenRegitry uses Akash Network as it's compute layer and IPFS, Filebase, or Storj for storage. Since AkashNetwork provides a spot like compute market, fault tolerance, Scalability and Resiliency are our priorities from day one.

Getting Started

Working with OpenRegistry is no different than working with any other container registry. Following are the steps to get started:

Sign-up:

Head over to Parachute by OpenRegistry and sign yourself up. The sign process is essential as pushing to container repositories is a restricted operation and requires proper authorization.

Currently we're only accepting registrations for a closed Beta program, Kindly register for Beta here

Push an Image:

When using Docker CLI, the images are pushed to DockerHub by default. For Pushing images to OpenRegistry instead, follow the below steps:

  • change the name of your image, e.g if you have an image named janedoe/alpine:latest, change it like so:
docker tag janedoe/alpine:latest openregistry.dev/janedoe/alipne:latest
docker push openregistry.dev/janedoe/alpine:latest

Pull an Image:

Assuming you've pushed an image using the above method:

docker pull openregistry.dev/janedoe/alpine:latest
