Getting started with Cloud Registry

Use this guide to create your first registry and try your hand at managing Docker images.

Getting startedGetting started

To create a registry, you will need a folder in Yandex Cloud. If you do not have any folders yet, create one before creating a registry:

1. In the management console, select the appropriate cloud from the list on the left.

2. At the top right, click Create folder.

3. Give your folder a name. The naming requirements are as follows:

   • It must be from 2 to 63 characters long.
   • It may contain lowercase Latin letters, numbers, and hyphens.
   • It must start with a letter and cannot end with a hyphen.

4. Optionally, specify the description for your folder.

5. Select Create a default network. This will create a network with subnets in each availability zone. Within this network, you will also have a default security group, inside which all network traffic will be allowed.

6. Click Create.

Creating a registry and pushing a Docker imageCreating a registry and pushing a Docker image

To work with Cloud Registry and Docker images:

1. Install the Yandex Cloud CLI and configure Docker.

2. Create a registry in Cloud Registry.

3. Get authenticated in Cloud Registry.

4. Pull a Docker image from Docker Hub:

   docker pull ubuntu
   

5. Assign the pulled Docker image a tag in this format: registry.yandexcloud.net/<registry_ID>/<Docker_image_name>:<tag>:

   docker tag ubuntu \
   registry.yandexcloud.net/<registry_ID>/ubuntu:hello
   

6. Push the Docker image to the repository Cloud Registry:

   docker push \
   registry.yandexcloud.net/<registry_ID>/ubuntu:hello
   

7. Run the Docker image:

   docker run \
   registry.yandexcloud.net/<registry_ID>/ubuntu:hello
