Creating a Managed Private Registry (Harbor)

Learn how to create your first Managed Private Registry.

OVHcloud Managed Private Registry service provides you with a managed, authenticated Docker registry where you can privately store your Docker images.

A Docker Registry is a system that lets you store and distribute your Docker images. The best known Registry is the official Docker Hub, where you can find official public images such as Alpine, Golang, or Debian.

Today, OVHcloud allows you to spawn your own authenticated Docker Registry where you can privately store your Docker images. This is the best way to use your private images with our OVHcloud Managed Kubernetes Service offer without exposing them to everyone.

Instructions

From the OVHcloud Control Panel:

1. Click Public Cloud in the top navigation bar.
2. Select your project.
3. In the left menu, under Containers and Orchestration, select Managed Private Registry.
4. On the main screen, click Create a private registry.

In the following menu:

1. Choose a region to deploy your private registry in, and click on Next.
2. Choose the registry name ("my-registry" in this example), and click on Next.

Your private registry is being created.
