Creating a registry

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud command line interface yet, install and initialize it.

The folder specified in the CLI profile is used by default. You can specify a different folder using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

1. Make sure that a registry has not been created in the folder yet:

   yc container registry list
   

   Result:

   +----+------+-----------+
   | ID | NAME | FOLDER ID |
   +----+------+-----------+
   +----+------+-----------+
   

   If the folder already contains a registry, see Updating a registry for information about how you can change it.

2. Create a registry:

   yc container registry create --name my-reg
   

   Result:

   done
   id: crpd50616s9a********
   folder_id: b1g88tflru0e********
   name: my-reg
   status: ACTIVE
   created_at: "2019-01-09T14:34:06.601Z"
   

   The registry naming requirements are as follows:

   • The name must be from 3 to 63 characters long.
   • It may contain lowercase Latin letters, numbers, and hyphens.
   • The first character must be a letter and the last character cannot be a hyphen.

   The --name flag is optional: you can create a registry without any name and access it using the ID. The name field is user-defined: it is used for listing in the YC CLI and is not used in the Docker CLI.

3. Make sure the registry was created:

   yc container registry list
   

   Command result:

   +----------------------+--------+----------------------+
   |          ID          |  NAME  |      FOLDER ID       |
   +----------------------+--------+----------------------+
   | crpd50616s9a******** | my-reg | b1g88tflru0e******** |
   +----------------------+--------+----------------------+
   

If you don't have Terraform, install it and configure the Yandex Cloud provider.

1. To a configuration file, add the parameters of the registry that you want to create. Use example.tf in ~/cloud-terraform:

   resource "yandex_container_registry" "my-reg" {
     name = "my-registry"
     folder_id = "<folder_ID>"
     labels = {
       my-label = "my-label-value"
     }
   }
   

   Where:

   • name: Registry name
   • folder_id: Folder ID
   • labels: Set of labels

   For more information about resources you can create with Terraform, see the provider documentation.

2. Check that the configuration file is correct.

   1. Use the command line to go to the directory where you saved the configuration file:

      cd /Users/<username>/cloud-terraform
      

   2. Run a check using this command:

      terraform plan
      

      Result:

      Refreshing Terraform state in-memory prior to plan...
      The refreshed state will be used to calculate this plan, but will not be
      persisted to local or remote state storage.
      ...
      Note: You did not specify an "-out" parameter to save this plan, so Terraform
      cannot guarantee that exactly these actions will be performed if
      "terraform apply" is subsequently run.
      

3. Create a registry.

   1. Run this command:

      terraform apply
      

      Result:

      An execution plan has been generated and is shown below.
      Resource actions are indicated with the following symbols:
        + create
      ...
        Terraform will perform the actions described above.
        Only 'yes' will be accepted to approve.
      
        Enter a value:
      

   2. Confirm creation of the registry. To do this, type yes and press Enter:

      Enter a value: yes
      

      Result:

      yandex_container_registry.default: Creating...
      yandex_container_registry.default: Creation complete after 4s [id=crpuljdfqoj3********]
      
      Apply complete! Resources: 1 added, 0 changed, 0 destroyed.
      

      A registry named my-registry is created in the folder.

   3. Check the resources and their settings in the management console.

To create a registry, use the create method for the Registry resource.
