Amazon Linux provides a stable, secure, and high-performance execution environment for applications. Introducing the New Docker Hub: Combining the best of Docker Hub, Cloud and Store.
Nexus 3 and Docker – I couldn’t use the Nexus 3 logo, so I drew one myself! In this article I will show how to set up a private Docker registry with Sonatype’s 3.0 OSS.
There may be other guides to this, but if nothing else I am writing for myself. The main motivations for me to set up a private Docker registry are:. Distribution of Docker images.
This may be either small-scale between multiple computers or inside an organization. Restrict distribution of Docker images. While I prefer to make my Docker images available at, there are cases when I feel that the Docker images are not ready for distribution to a larger audience. In an organization, it may undesirable or unsuitable to deploy Docker images to a public registry.
Use identical versions of Docker images on all my computers. If I build a Docker image on first one computer and then, at some later point in time, on another computer there may be differences between the images. This can be caused by updates to the software repositories used when creating the images, patches to the operating system etc. Such differences may be subtle but I prefer to eliminate as many potential sources of confusion, or even errors, that I possibly can. Since I am already fiddling around with Docker, I will run Nexus 3 OSS in a Docker container using the. Preparations As an example, I will make a copy of the official Tomcat Docker image to my own, private, Docker registry.
To do this, we first need to pull the Tomcat image./ data:/nexus-data Note that:. Two ports are exposed.

On port 8081 the web GUI of Nexus 3 will be available. The Docker registry API will be exposed on port 8123. The latter port may be changed as desired, just remember to configure Nexus 3 accordingly.

The shared directory “nexus-data”, which is mapped to the host directory “data”. This directory will contain the persistent data of Nexus 3. Launch Nexus In a terminal window, the Docker Quickstart terminal if you are using Docker Toolbox, with the current directory being the directory with the docker-compose.yml file we created earlier, launch the Nexus 3 Repository manager using this command.
Nexus1 - Create a Docker Registry in Nexus 3 With Nexus 3 up and running, we should now be able to create a Docker registry. Find the IP address of the Docker host. If you are running Docker on Mac OS X or on Windows, it can be obtained using the command “docker-machine ip default”.
If you are running Docker on Linux, it will be the same IP address as the host, which can be found using the “ifconfig” command. In my case, the IP address of the Docker host is 192.168.1.72. Open the URL Docker host IP address:8081 in a web browser. Sign in to Nexus 3.
Click the Sign In button in the upper right corner and use the username “admin” and the password “admin123”. If these credentials have changed, please check the. Click the cogwheel to go to the server administration and configuration section. Click Repositories.
Click the Create repository button. In the list of repository types, select “docker (hosted)” as the type of the new registry. Configure the Docker repository. Give the repository a name – in my case it is “IvansDockerRepo”.
Make sure that the Online checkbox is checked. Check the HTTP checkbox under Repository Connectors and enter the port number 8123. Check the Enable Docker V1 API checkbox.
Select default under Blob store. Click the button Create repository. The private Docker registry is now ready to be used. Log in to the Private Docker Registry from the Client Before we can interact with the Docker registry from a Docker client, we need to log into the registry.
– Allow Unsecure Connections Windows and OS X Since we have exposed the private Docker registry on a plain HTTP endpoint, we need to configure the Docker daemon(s) that will act as client(s) to the private Docker registry as to allow for unsecure connections. This may not be advisable in all environments, but for the sake of this example unsecure connections are simple and will suffice.
Locate the Docker config.json file that contains the key “InsecureRegistry”. On Mac OS X and assuming that the name of the Docker machine is “default”, it is located in the directory /.docker/machine/machines/default. On Windows, again assuming the name of the Docker machine is “default”, it is located in the directory C: Users your user name.docker machine machines default. The section of the configuration file in which the “InsecureRegistry” key can be found looks like this.
Docker login - u admin - p admin123 192.168.1.72: 8123 The result should be a message saying that login succeeded. Pushing a Docker Image to the Private Registry Having pulled the official Tomcat image earlier and having logged in to our private registry, we are now ready to push the Tomcat Docker image to our registry. In the instructions below, replace the IP address of the Docker registry as needed. Tag the image. Docker tag tomcat:latest 192.168.1.72:8123/ivanstomcat:latest This tells Docker the new name that will be used for the Docker image and the IP address of the registry to which we later will push the image. Push the image to our private registry.
Docker push 192.168.1.72:8123/ivanstomcat:latest. Open the URL in a browser. Click the Components category in the Browse column on the left.
Click the Docker registry with the name “IvansDockerRepo” in the list of components that appear. In the list of components in IvansDockerRepo, there should be one single entry with the name “ivanstomcat”. To pull the image, perhaps on another computer, use the following commands.
↓. Andre Next best thing about using Nexus: You can configure the scheduler to free up space from deleted/orphaned images and layers. Something that the official docker registry cannot do right now. On the downside: I couldn’t easily configure Nexus as a caching proxy(which should work in theory, but fails at Nexus’ inability to allow anonymous access to the proxy and Docker’s failure to re-prompt authentication when hitting a 401) Also the API of Nexus 3 leaves quite a few loose ends.
If you’re ok with clicking your configuration, it’s fine. If you try to make it work with the scripting API, it’s not ?. ↓. Jitendra If you are trying to make this work on RHEL 7.
X, the error “Error response from daemon: Get: dial tcp 192.168.99.100:5000: getsockopt: connection refused” will come up eventually unless: a. Modify the file /lib/systemd/system/docker.service and append –insecure-registries 192.168.99.100:8123 b. Flush daemon and c. Restart the docker service Now, in the status of docker service, you should be able to find the daemon running with the insecure setting. Follow the usual commands to login, push, pull: docker login -u admin -p admin123 192.168.99.100:8123/ docker tag docker push.
