Creating a private registry

Last updated 14th April, 2022.

A Docker Registry is a system that lets you store and distribute your Docker images. The best known Registry is the official Docker Hub, where you can find official public images such as Alpine, Golang or Debian.

Today, OVHcloud allows you to spawn your own authenticated Docker Registry where you can privately store your Docker images. This is the best way to use your private images with our OVHcloud Managed Kubernetes Service offer without exposing them to everyone.

Objective
