Create local registry container in Docker

A docker registry is a stateless, highly scalable application that stores and lets you distribute Docker images. Registries could be local (private) or cloud-based (private or public)

  1. Docker open registry(local registry)
  2. Docker trusted registry
  3. Docker hub (cloud-based registry)

Example to push the image to a local registry container(deploy local registry)

#docker run -d -p 5000:5000 --restart=always --name registry registry:2


sunny@Oracle1:~/Desktop$ docker run -d -p 5000:5000 --restart=always --name registry registry:2
