How do I use DigitalOcean container registry?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 2:08 pm

DigitalOcean has created a registry for Docker containers, which makes it easy for users to find, use, and share containers. To use the registry, first create a new account on DigitalOcean and then add the registry as an account resource.

After adding the registry, users can find and use containers by searching through the registry or by browsing by category.

PRO TIP: The Container Registry is a secure and private Docker image registry provided as a managed service on DigitalOcean. It can be used to store and distribute Docker images for your personal or enterprise use.

However, before using the Container Registry, you should be aware of the following:

– The Container Registry is a paid service. You will need to create a billing account and add a credit card in order to use it.
– The Container Registry is not intended for public use. Any images stored in the registry are private and can only be accessed by users with the proper credentials.
– The Container Registry is not intended for storing sensitive data. All data stored in the registry is encrypted at rest and in transit. However, if you need to store sensitive data in a Docker image, you should encrypt the data yourself before adding it to the image.

To use a container, first find it on the registry and then launch it using the DigitalOcean container launch command. After launching a container, users can access the container’s logs, PVCs, and images using the DigitalOcean container logs, PVCs, and images commands.

Finally, users can stop and delete a container using the DigitalOcean container stop and delete commands.
