Serving

bin/zot serve _config-file_

Examples of config files are available in examples/ dir.

Container Image

The Dockerfile in this repo can be used to build a container image that runs zot.

To build the image with ref zot:latest:

make image

Then run the image with your preferred container runtime:

# with podman
podman run --rm -it -p 5000:5000 -v $(pwd)/registry:/var/lib/registry zot:latest

# with docker
docker run --rm -it -p 5000:5000 -v $(pwd)/registry:/var/lib/registry zot:latest

This will run a registry at http://localhost:5000, storing content at ./registry (bind mounted to /var/lib/registry in the container). By default, auth is disabled.

If you wish use custom configuration settings, you can override the YAML config file located at /etc/zot/config.yml:

# Example: using a local file "custom-config.yml" that
# listens on port 8080 and uses /tmp/zot for storage root
podman run --rm -p 8080:8080 \
  -v $(pwd)/custom-config.yml:/etc/zot/config.yml \
  -v $(pwd)/registry:/tmp/zot \
  zot:latest

CLI

Building zli

You can interact with the zot registry server using the zli binary.

$ make cli

will produce bin/zli binary.

Adding a zot server URL

To add a zot server URL with an alias "remote-zot":

$ zli config add remote-zot https://server-example:8080

List all configured URLs with their aliases:

$ zli config -l
remote-zot https://server-example:8080
local      http://localhost:8080

Listing images

You can list all images from a server by using its alias specified in this step:

$ zli images remote-zot
IMAGE NAME                        TAG                       DIGEST    SIZE

Or filter the list by an image name:

$ zli images remote-zot -n busybox
IMAGE NAME                        TAG                       DIGEST    SIZE
busybox                           latest                    414aeb86  707.8KB

Sync (pull-based mirroring)

Periodically pull and synchronize images between zot registries. The synchronization is achieved by copying all the images found at source to destination. To use it see sync-config Supports:

  • TLS verification
  • Prefix filtering (can contain multiple repos, eg repo1/repoX/repoZ)
  • Tags regex filtering
  • Tags semver compliance filtering (the 'v' prefix is optional)
  • BASIC auth
  • Image signatures

Benchmarking

You can benchmark a zot registry or any other dist-spec conformant registry with zb.

Building `zb``

$ make bench

will produce bin/zb binary.

Ecosystem

skopeo

skopeo is a tool to work with remote image repositories.

  • Pull Images
skopeo copy docker://<zot-server:port>/repo:tag docker://<another-server:port>/repo:tag
  • Push Images
skopeo copy --format=oci docker://<another-server:port>/repo:tag docker://<zot-server:port>/repo:tag

cri-o

cri-o is a OCI-based Kubernetes container runtime interface.

Works with "docker://" transport which is the default.

Metrics

Can be used for both dist-spec-only zot & the zot with all extensions enabled

Node Exporter

The dist-spec-only zot exposes internal metrics into a Prometheus format through a node exporter. The configuration of node exporter contains connection details for the zot server it is intend to scrape metrics from. See a configuration example. The metrics are automatically enabled in the zot server on first scrape from the Node Exporter (no extra configuration option is needed). Similarly, the metrics are automatically disabled when Node Exporter did not perform any scrapings in a while.

bin/zxp config _config-file_

Enable Metrics

In the zot with all extensions case see configuration example for enabling metrics

Clustering

zot supports clustering by using multiple stateless zot with shared s3 storage and a haproxy (with sticky session) in front of them.
