docker registry authentication

by Giles Bradshaw

This talks about configuring the registry.

My current configuration - the default - at /etc/docker/registry/config.yml is:

version: 0.1
log:
  fields:
    service: registry
storage:
  cache:
    blobdescriptor: inmemory
  filesystem:
    rootdirectory: /var/lib/registry
http:
  addr: :5000
  headers:
    X-Content-Type-Options: [nosniff]
health:
  storagedriver:
    enabled: true
    interval: 10s
    threshold: 3

So I have made a registry image which makes it use basic access authentication with the password defined by new-registry-password secret.  The current password is registry-password secret.

Now random people can;t read and write the registry - probably for the best!
