Docker Registry UI

Go Report Card

Overview

  • Web UI for Docker Registry 2.6+
  • Browse repositories and tags
  • Display Docker image details by layers including both manifests v1 and v2
  • Fast and small, written on Go
  • Automatically discover an authentication method (basic auth, token service etc.)
  • Caching the list of repositories, tag counts and refreshing in background
  • Event listener of notification events coming from Registry
  • Store events in sqlite or MySQL database
  • CLI option to maintain the tags retention: purge tags older than X days keeping at least Y tags

No TLS or authentication implemented on the UI web server itself. Assuming you will proxy it behind nginx, oauth2_proxy or something.

Configuration

The configuration is stored in config.yml and the options are self-descriptive.

Run UI

docker run -d -p 8000:8000 -v /local/config.yml:/opt/config.yml:ro \
    --name=registry-ui quiq/docker-registry-ui

To run with your own root CA certificate, add to the command:

-v /local/rootcacerts.crt:/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt:ro

To preserve sqlite db file with event notifications data, add to the command:

-v /local/data:/opt/data

You can also run the container with --read-only option, however when using using event listener functionality you need to ensure the sqlite db can be written, i.e. mount a folder as listed above.

Configure event listener on Docker Registry

To receive events you need to configure Registry as follow:

notifications:
  endpoints:
    - name: docker-registry-ui
      url: http://docker-registry-ui.local:8000/api/events
      headers:
        Authorization: [Bearer abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890]
      timeout: 1s
      threshold: 5
      backoff: 10s
      ignoredmediatypes:
        - application/octet-stream

Adjust url and token as appropriate. If you are running UI from non-root base path, e.g. /ui, the URL path for above will be /ui/api/events.

Using MySQL instead of sqlite3 for event listener

To use MySQL as a storage you need to change event_database_driver and event_database_location settings in the config file. It is expected you create a database mentioned in the location DSN. Minimal privileges are SELECT, INSERT, DELETE. You can create a table manually if you don't want to grant CREATE permission:

CREATE TABLE events (
	id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,
	action CHAR(4) NULL,
	repository VARCHAR(100) NULL,
	tag VARCHAR(100) NULL,
	ip VARCHAR(15) NULL,
	user VARCHAR(50) NULL,
	created DATETIME NULL
);

Schedule a cron task for purging tags

To delete tags you need to enable the corresponding option in Docker Registry config. For example:

storage:
  delete:
    enabled: true

The following example shows how to run a cron task to purge tags older than X days but also keep at least Y tags no matter how old. Assuming container has been already running.

10 3 * * * root docker exec -t registry-ui /opt/docker-registry-ui -purge-tags

You can try to run in dry-run mode first to see what is going to be purged:

docker exec -t registry-ui /opt/docker-registry-ui -purge-tags -dry-run

Alternatively, you can schedule the purging task with built-in cron feature:

purge_tags_keep_days: 90
purge_tags_keep_count: 2
purge_tags_schedule: '0 10 3 * * *'

Note, the cron schedule format includes seconds! See https://godoc.org/github.com/robfig/cron

Debug mode

To increase http request verbosity, run container with -e GOREQUEST_DEBUG=1.
