Docker Registry

Run your own private Docker registry to store and distribute container images on your local network.

Why Run a Local Registry:

• Push and pull images without internet access
• Keep proprietary images private and secure
• Faster image pulls for local development
• Cache frequently used images from Docker Hub

Pull-Through Cache: Configure as a mirror for Docker Hub or other registries. Images are cached locally on first pull, speeding up subsequent pulls and reducing bandwidth. Set the upstream URL in environment variables to enable.

Developer Workflow: Build images locally, push them to your registry, and pull them from authorized machines on your network. It can support home labs, development teams, and disconnected environments.

Simple to Use: Tag images with the registry address Lawn provides and push them using an OCI-compatible client. Authentication is not enabled by default, so keep the registry on a trusted network or configure appropriate access controls before exposing it.
