Docker Registry
A docker registry is a stateless, scalable server-side application that stores and allows us to distribute docker images
-
In other words, it allows us storage for our images
-
Think of it like github for docker images
- So we have commands like
docker pull
,docker push
etc.
- So we have commands like
-
ex. Docker Hub
-
Docker registry stores images as 2 parts, with a pointer between them:
- image:tag
- digest (i.e. the SHA id)
-
Docker Hub is an available registry that is hosted for us
