- Web UI for Docker Registry or similar alternatives
- Fast, simple and small package
- Browse catalog of repositories and tags
- Show an arbitrary level of repository tree
- Support Docker and OCI image formats
- Support image and image index manifests (multi-platform images)
- Display full information about image index and links to the underlying sub-images
- Display full information about image, its layers and config file (command history)
- Event listener for notification events coming from Registry
- Store events in Sqlite or MySQL database
- CLI option to maintain the tag retention: purge tags older than X days keeping at least Y tags etc.
- Automatically discover an authentication method: basic auth, token service, keychain etc.
- The list of repositories and tag counts are cached and refreshed in background
No TLS or authentication is implemented on the UI instance itself. Assuming you will put it behind nginx, oauth2_proxy or similar.
Docker images quiq/registry-ui
The configuration is stored in config.yml and the options are self-descriptive.
You can override any config option via environment variables using SECTION_KEY_NAME syntax,
e.g. LISTEN_ADDR, PERFORMANCE_TAGS_COUNT_REFRESH_INTERVAL, REGISTRY_HOSTNAME etc.
docker run -d -p 8000:8000 -v /local/config.yml:/opt/config.yml:ro quiq/registry-ui
To run with your own root CA certificate, add to the command:
-v /local/rootcacerts.crt:/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt:ro
To preserve sqlite db file with event data, add to the command:
-v /local/data:/opt/data
Ensure /local/data is owner by nobody (alpine user id is 65534).
You can also run the container with --read-only option, however when using using event listener functionality
you need to ensure the sqlite db can be written, i.e. mount a folder as listed above (rw mode).
To run with a custom TZ:
-e TZ=America/Los_Angeles
To receive events you need to configure Registry as follow:
notifications:
endpoints:
- name: registry-ui
url: http://registry-ui.local:8000/event-receiver
headers:
Authorization: [Bearer abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890]
timeout: 1s
threshold: 5
backoff: 10s
ignoredmediatypes:
- application/octet-stream
Adjust url and token as appropriate.
If you are running UI with non-default base path, e.g. /ui, the URL path for above will be /ui/event-receiver etc.
To use MySQL as a storage you need to change event_database_driver and event_database_location
settings in the config file. It is expected you create a database mentioned in the location DSN.
Minimal privileges are SELECT, INSERT, DELETE.
You can create a table manually if you don't want to grant CREATE permission:
CREATE TABLE events (
id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,
action CHAR(4) NULL,
repository VARCHAR(100) NULL,
tag VARCHAR(100) NULL,
ip VARCHAR(45) NULL,
user VARCHAR(50) NULL,
created DATETIME NULL
);
To delete tags you need to enable the corresponding option in Docker Registry config. For example:
storage:
delete:
enabled: true
The following example shows how to run a cron task to purge tags older than X days but also keep at least Y tags no matter how old. Assuming container has been already running.
10 3 * * * root docker exec -t registry-ui /opt/registry-ui -purge-tags
You can try to run in dry-run mode first to see what is going to be purged:
docker exec -t registry-ui /opt/registry-ui -purge-tags -dry-run
