# Registry Management

```
registry:login [--password-stdin] <server> <username> [<password>] # Login to a docker registry
registry:report [<app>] [<flag>] # Displays a registry report for one or more apps
registry:set <app> <key> (<value>) # Set or clear a registry property for an app
```
The registry plugin enables interacting with remote registries, which is useful when either deploying images via `git:from-image` or when interacting with custom schedulers to deploy built image artifacts.
## Usage
### Logging into a registry
The `registry:login` command can be used to log into a docker registry. The following are examples for logging into various common registries:
```shell
# hub.docker.com
dokku registry:login docker.io $USERNAME $PASSWORD
# digitalocean
# the username and password are both defined as the same api token
dokku registry:login registry.digitalocean.com $DIGITALOCEAN_API_TOKEN $DIGITALOCEAN_API_TOKEN
# github container registry
# see the following link for information on retrieving a personal access token
# https://docs.github.com/en/packages/guides/pushing-and-pulling-docker-images#authenticating-to-github-container-registry
dokku registry:login ghcr.io $USERNAME $REGISTRY_PAT_TOKEN
# quay
# a robot user may be used to login
dokku registry:login quay.io $USERNAME $PASSWORD
```
For security reasons, the password may also be specified as stdin by specifying the `--password-stdin` flag. This is supported regardless of the registry being logged into.
```shell
echo "$PASSWORD" | dokku registry:login --password-stdin docker.io $USERNAME
```
For certain Docker registries - such as Amazon ECR or Google's GCR registries - users may instead wish to use a docker credential helper to automatically authenticate against a server; please see the documentation regarding the credential helper in question for further setup instructions.
### Setting a remote server
To specify a remote server registry for pushes, set the `server` property via the `registry:set` command. The default value for this property is empty string. Setting the value to `docker.io` or `hub.docker.com` will result in the computed value being empty string (as that is the default, implicit registry), while any non-zero length value will have a `/` appended to it if there is not one already.
```shell
dokku registry:set node-js-app server docker.io
```
This property can be set for a single app or globally via the `--global` flag. When set globally, the app-specific value will always overide the global value. The default global value for this property is empty string.
```shell
dokku registry:set --global server docker.io
```
Setting the property value to an empty string will reset the value to the system default. Resetting the value can be done per app or globally.
```shell
# per-app
dokku registry:set node-js-app server
# globally
dokku registry:set --global server
```
The following are the values that should be used for common remote servers:
- Amazon Elastic Container Registry:
- value: `$AWS_ACCOUNT_ID.dkr.ecr.$AWS_REGION.amazonaws.com/`
- notes: The `$AWS_ACCOUNT_ID` and `$AWS_REGION` should match the values for your account and region, respectively. Additionally, an IAM profile that allows `push` access to the repository specified by `image-repo` should be attached to your Dokku server.
- Azure Container Registry:
- value `$REGISTRY_NAME.azurecr.io/`
- notes: The `$AKS_REGISTRY_NAME` should match the name of the registry created on your account.
- Docker Hub:
- value: `docker.io/`
- notes: Requires owning the namespace used in the `image-repo` value.
- Digitalocean:
- value: `registry.digitalocean.com/`
- notes: Requires setting the correct `image-repo` value for your registry.
- Github Container Registry:
- value: `ghcr.io/`
- notes: Requires that the authenticated user has access to the namespace used in the `image-repo` value.
- Quay.io:
- value: `quay.io/`
### Specifying an image repository name
By default, Dokku uses the value `dokku/$APP_NAME` as the image repository that is pushed and deployed. For certain registries, the `dokku` namespace may not be available to your user. In these cases, the value can be set by changing the value of the `image-repo` property via the `registry:set` command.
```shell
dokku registry:set node-js-app image-repo my-awesome-prefix/node-js-app
```
Setting the property value to an empty string will reset the value to the system default. Resetting the value has to be done per-app.
```shell
# per-app
dokku registry:set node-js-app push-on-release
```
### Pushing images on build
To push the image on release, set the `push-on-release` property to `true` via the `registry:set` command. The default value for this property is `false`. Setting the property to `true` will result in the image being tagged with an ID that is incremented with every release. This tag will be what is used for running app code.
```shell
dokku registry:set node-js-app push-on-release true
```
This property can be set for a single app or globally via the `--global` flag. When set globally, the app-specific value will always overide the global value. The default global value for this property is `false`.
```shell
dokku registry:set --global push-on-release true
```
Setting the property value to an empty string will reset the value to the system default. Resetting the value can be done per app or globally.
```shell
# per-app
dokku registry:set node-js-app push-on-release
# globally
dokku registry:set --global push-on-release
```
